Got Referral

 I am so excited!!! I got the referral for plastics. I have my first appointment at the end of the month.  I hope they can get me approved for as much as possible. LOL... But my focus is on my stomach and boobs (they are so sad) . Hubby of course loves me as I am but I just can't see and "difference" with all the left over hanging skin. In fact in a weird way i feel more self conscious than when I was heavy. Does that make any sense at all???  I am not looking to become a runway model but want to be "normal".  I hope that the approval won't be delayed by red tape.  So keep your fingers crossed!!!

That's wonderful news.  Have you checked up on the Dr. for reviews? 

Yep, makes sense to me.  My skin isn't horrible, but yes, my boobs are pathetic too lol, but I would love to get a tummy tuck, a butt tuck and a boob job, but I think I'll just hang in there.  I feel pretty normal for the most part, so it's all good.

Let us know how it goes.

 Well talk about roller coaster!!! LOL  First denied until they received pictures . The got a partial denial.  They are trying to say boobs are for cosmetic issue.  I am sending appeal letter this morning and hope to have a response quickly!! I really want to have this done asap since school starts soon. I am going to try and get some funds together as well to cover if they don't cover it!!

Can you tell me your process?  Were you seeing your general practitioner first about the loose/hanging skin or did you go directly to the plastic surgeon?  Thanks for your help and congratulations!
