Jennifer, You have to be your own best advocate for Plastic Surgery. When you have the Plastic Surgeon submit your claim to insurance be sure that letters from your Priamery Doctor and Bariatric Surgeon are included with it. Medical Neccesity Letters and one from you explaining in your own words why you should have these surgeries. Tell about your day in class the way you told us last week. Don't be so discourged. If you want this to happen it will. You just can't get let down by results and answers you haven't even received yet. Get your ducks in order and then there are always appeals if you need to. peace Mo

Hey Andrea! Good to see you around here again. Tell Peter hello from us all. You have a lot going on with new job, and wedding so soon! My brother is getting married in July too . THey are like the one million others getting married on 7-7-07. Good luck with all your plans, when you start to stress, just imagine yourself on the beach in Aruba and it will all be so worth it!! Take care! Debbie

Hello all- Apologies for not posting lately. I have been incredilbly busy. I switch companies a month ago-- I left pharmaceuticals and went to work in BEAUTY. Pretty funny, huh? I am not doing market research (same as previous position) at Avon. Still in NY, but entirely new industry to learn so I have been crazy. Between the new job, Peter moving in a few weeks and the wedding, I haven't had much time to check in. I just went and caught up on all the posts! Mo, congrats on the milestone! You are an inspiration, as are all of you on this board. The wedding is at the end of July. We are having a friend of my father's (he is a judge) marry us in a restaurant and then staying for lunch. Honeymoon is in Aruba for six days. My pooches are doing well. They miss Peter when he is not here. I call the little one, Nick, 'the traitor' because Peter is now his favorite person. He loves to sit on Peter. I got approved for a boob reduction, but I would still have to pay for the TT and the boob lift. With the expense of the wedding, I decided to postpone the surgery for a year or so. With all the anxiety, the weight has crept up.I've gained about 7-10 pounds which really aggravates me. I know what to do, but years of eating when stressed is a hard habit to break. I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a personal trainer again (I had stopped it 8 months ago) so that I could get my butt into shape again. I start in 2 weeks. Anyway, I hope you are all doing well. Lots of love, Andrea

Tim- Wonderful post! Hmmm--- Tieing my shoelace on the street without sitting or kneeling. Being able to walk up stairs. Crossing my legs Painting my own toenails (still like the pedicure though!) Fitting in a bus or subway seat!
