**Warning Graphic Photo** No Belly Button or This!!

I chose no belly button......

How did you get into my house to take this pic of me? That's what I see in the mirror too.

I do understand.....even though I have this thing for a belly button ring!

LOL you and your belly button ring!  

Great, I haven't even had WLS yet and I already look like this!!! Yikes!!!

well, as soon as you do and you are almost 18 mths out, make sure your doctor documents EVERYTHING!!!

oh, one more thing to add to my last post.  My siL in florida had a hystorectomy and had tummy tuck at same time.  she saved on OR charges, anestisia.  both dr's were husband and wife too (not sure about savings there tho)  anyway, just wanted to add that, rather then wait in a few years, you might save just doing it now and paying for it up front. you woun't have to pay for all the other charges.

Ha Ha! I wish I had a before pic like this I could show you but I don't.  This pic does really look like I weigh much more than I really do. 

oh, Kathy, you are getting brave, I remember when you pm'd me the picture.  I think if the insurance will pay, Hell, go for it.  now, just out of curriousity, how much would it cost YOU, if you chose to add a belly button.  you were going to pay for the whole surgery anyway we'ren't you?  You could always have it tattooed on.  I say go for it and take yourself a "Tropical Vacation" with the money you save.  OH, and did I say, "bring me"....  I"ll go white water rafting with you??

I am not sure of the cost if insurance does not pay.  I know if I go to Mexico, I can get a whole lower body lift for $7900 and he did say he would reconstruct the belly button and do a little lipo in my rear and add it lower.  But there is NO after care at ALL.. Just too far away and I really don't have the $7900, so if something bad happens I am screwed!  So I will just do it in pieces here in Maine.   Hey like the tattoo idea!!    White Water Rafting is on my bucket list.  I want to go to The Forks to do this, lets go! 

I don't mean the whole surgery, just "adding the button" (cost)  insurance pay for tt but you pay for belly button??  oh, and as for white water, i'm on, wanna try and see if anyone would do it.  we can plan it.
