PS approved and Date!!!

I was approved yesterday for my Belt lipectomy!!! Insurance is going to cover 90 %!!! Dr Lyle in Raleigh NC is going to do the Surgery. They had it scheduled for next month, but I had to post pone it till Dec 27 because my girls will be out of town for a week so I will not have to worry.. Plus I will have 2 weeks vac at work.. Oct 6 will be 1 year for me and this has been a great journey. I have not lost any weight or inched in 5 1/2 months, but Dr Malik and Dr Lyle feel that the excess skin 15-25 lbs has been hindering things!!! So my new journey now begins and my Christmas gift to me is the PS. I have lost from my heighest 128 lbs and 118 inches. I am 5'3 andam healthier though still in a rut. I am excited becasue after PS I am going to focus on exercise!!!. It will be much easier for me.. Thank you all for listening, advice and sharing with me... Peace and Prayers..

I am so nervous right now my paperwork is at the insurance company now waiting for approval, my docor says that I am about 40 lbs from goal and that I probaly have 25-30 lbs of skin I can't wait until it is gone then next year I want to have my arms done, I really want to have muscular arms to go with my flat tummy.

Congratulations, Ann! I know you're super excited. Good luck with everything and here's hoping you have a safe surgery and a speedy recovery! Are you near Eden, NC? I have relatives there.. Pam

Ann, Congrats! I'm so jealous! Insurance denied me said it was "cosmetic" blah blah blah!! Anyway, if I can't have it, I'm so glad you can!
