Continuing my Journey!

Well, now that I am 1 pound within goal and held this weight for almost 3 years now, I am ready to continue my journey and start looking into PS!!!!!

The doctor I want to go through does take my insurance and if I can get my PCP to document that all my back problems are due to my excess skin I MAY be able to get it covered!!!!

I have an appointment for my annual labs in 2 weeks, then I will meet with my PCP the following week.  I will talk to them about it then.  I just hope they will help me out in this area so that I can get my PS covered.  If it is covered I will probably get it done this spring or summer, if not then it will have to wait until next year so we can pay for it with our taxes (this years taxes are already taken up, lol).

Wish me luck in my next venture in my journey.  I REALLY want to see all this skin GONE!!!!  I know that the BL I want done won't be covered so that will have to wait, but the TT hopefully will be covered and I can get it done this year!!!!

 

HUGS to ALL!!!!

Congrats on maintaining your weight loss, you should be so proud of yourself!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can get your insurance co. to cover your TT!

It sounds like you are doing well Shawn.   Keep us informed as to your progress.  I will probably be looking for PS at the end of this year.  I'm interested in who you choose to do your PS and also what insurance you have.

Good luck!

Well, I am pretty sure Sandi, that I am going to use Dr. DiNick at the Barix clinic.  It is just a matter of if insurance will cover and if not, then I will have to start saving up for the procedure.  I highly doubt my insurance will cover though, because my skin is saggy, but not hanging far down.  I don't get rashes or any other issues from it either.  So it may be a couple of years before I can actually have it done depending on the cost.  We will see and I will keep the board posted.....

 

HUGS,
