Hello From NEMO!!!

Hello Everyone. Its been along time since I last posted. I hope everyone is doing ok. Im doing great. Im in the process of getting my MRI's done for my upcoming Tummy and back tuck. its been a long drawn out task for me. I still have a ways to go. Im down in the 180's still. losing a lbs per two weeks it seems. I still walk pretty regularly, which I love to do. its that time of year to start getting my yard work done also. I plan on another big garden this year. Cant wait for the yummy veggies, and also the apples my tree will give. My sister Leta is also doing great. She is in Wichita Kansas with her new twin grand babies. I just got back from there last week visiting and helping out. Their names are Michael Alexander ___ ____ lol and the girl is Maria Alexandera___... Yes Im uncle and I dont know their blank names...They are part latino so you can imagine the big names lol. but i love them all the same and they are so cute. I hope everyone is doing ok like i said. I sure miss you guys, Jan, Andrew, Nana, etc etc. I hope to see you all this year at the reunion at the park if this is going to take place. Please let me know. I wont be able to attend the one in the Ozarks. My surgery will be around that time im thinking which will be in the Ozarks lol. We'll have to wait and see. Take care everyone and keep on keeping on . God Bless you always ...Craig Lee

Congrats Craig. Good luck on your upcoming tuck's. If  you dont' mind me asking how did you get insurance to pay for it and what type do you have? I have been trying for years to get mine paid for they wont do it at all. Even though I have I have doctor's upon doctor's notes and pics they still say NO.
 Anyway CONGRATS and GOOD LUCK

hi Craig it has been awhile since you have been on , we miss you .. Is medicare going to pay for the back lift part of your surgery? sure would like to find out how you got them to do that...i too have lots of skin from my back that is puddled around my waist line...and drooping down my back...i think it is what causes me my pain under my shoulder blades. it feels like sometimes that the skin is tearing. ...anyway who is the plastic surgeon you are going to...and please let us know how you are getting medicare to pay for it ok....
hopefully we will all get together in July at Sedalia...not really sure.
just post more often too.

I have bad back aches, my doctor says I have no support structure for my back from lose of muscle tone. The skin needs to be removed and They say I could have it removed by medicare/medicaid assitant. The doctor is in Osage Beach at the lakes. Right off hand i dont know his name. I got the referal from Dr H's office. It takes time but if you're PCP insists that you need the surgery they will cover it. I have talked to the medicare/medicaid ppl myself. So its a long drawn out process but it can be done they say.
