surgery is scheduled

I saw Dr Cutie.. I mean Claytor this am.  Even though the pain is a whole lot better, he is going to go in and repair the scar tissue and the little dog ear I have on my hip from the pannic at the same time.  Preop appt is Nov 2nd and surgery is on Nov 13th. Will be out about a week from work.

OK, take that back. P & H just called and can't schedule surgery until insurance approval.  Stay tuned.....

well, he might as well check it all out while he's fixing "Snoopy"....  good idea.  my SIL had her tt last year and has "Snoopy" too. 

Ha Ha!! Snoopy, I like that!! 

Insurance approval?  This isn't cosmetic, I hate insurance companies!  Let us know how it goes.

Hi Kelly,

No,  I had a panniculectomy and that was covered by insurance because of my skin hydritenitis (sp?)  So therefore, they should also cover this medical issue.  My insurance company is pretty fast, so I shouldn't have to wait too long. Just a formality.

ETA: I did opt to have a tummy tuck at the same time, which is considered to be cosmedic.  I paid for that portion ($3500) on my own. Dr C is going to also send info to insurance for my thighs because I have the same skin issues there as well.

Good luck.  Keep us posted.  Missi

Hope you get a "real" date soon!  Keep us posted!  Good luck with the insurance!
