With me she just asked about my eating habits and what led me to overeat.  She also took time and did a relaxation exercise with me.  She is very comfortable to talk to so no worries.

Hi Kamehanaokala,

Well I have lost a total of 315 pounds. In round 1 I had the Pannectilectomy (hanging apron skin) and my arms done. 

Round 2 I am going to start the inner thighs first after I heal then I will do a mini butt lift and boob lift.  As it gets closer I just think of all the pain I wan in before due to being allergic to all the paper tape they used on me.  So I am not looking forward to that.

This time they know not to use paper, clear tape, or latex, etc.  But just the thought is in the back of my mind. 

Thanks for your support and I will keep you posted.

Take Care,

Kema

Topic: RE: Flexible Spending Account
A flexible spending account is usually done thru your employer.  Its kinda like a bank account that u put money in directly from your paycheck.  The good part is that its NOT taxed.  There are two types of flex spending account medical and daycare.

My employer has a max for the account of 5,000 for medical.  I can put any amount into the account that I want up to the 5,000.  Whats really cool about the medical account is that on January 1, the money is available even if I have not deposited it yet. 

The flex accounts are governed by the US Government so there are some rules about what can be used w/ the money.  You can use it for all copays, laser eye surgery, over the counter med, etc.  Some plans make u submit all of your receipts and some even have a credit card associated with the account that u can use at the point of purchase.  My account has the credit card which I love.  It's so easy.  I just make sure that I keep all receipts so if they ask me for a receipt I have it.  The normall ask for receipts on large purchases. 

If you don't use the money by the end of they year you will lose it.  So, you really have to plan.  I've used it for the past 4 years for daycare and medical.  It has helped to lower our income during tax time and we save money on taxes too. 

I hope this explains flexible spending account for those that are curious. 

Aloha, Debbie

Topic: RE: Flexible Spending Account
I posted this same question on the main board just the other day.  From what everyone says, as long as you have a letter from the Doctor it's covered.
I'm curious to hear if anyone did it here.
Good Luck!
