Karma is a CRAZY thing
So - I posted about my embracing of the muffin top on Friday morning. You all made me feel so great about my decision to go without my "special garment" and allowing me to post my feelings without any judgement.
Friday afternoon I called the plastic surgeon after calling the insurance company earlier in the week and them telling me that they basically had no idea that I was even trying to get approved for plastics. So - the plastic surgeon's office stated that late Thursday afternoon, they got notification that the majority of my plastics would be covered. WOW!!!!! I was stunned to say the least. I was told that my lower abdoment would be covered as well as a breast reduction. The only thing NOT covered would be the muscles on my upper abdomen. That was considered completely cosmetic. I made an appointment to discuss this with the surgeon for today at 2:30.
Well, I am going through with the surgery. I am scheduled for Monday, August 2, 2010 at the Barix Clinic with Dr. Lam - (thank you Susan B.) I am going to pay for the part that is not covered. Larry is completely behind my getting this taken care of.
I am both excited and nervous - and have been wavering between, lets do this thing and is it too soon? I have kept my weight stable for about three months - playing with about 5-6 pounds. Have been trying to get under 150 pounds for a while and am proud of what I have been able to accomplish for the last three months. I really do feel that I have the food issues under control MOST of the time. I still follow the rules, I still live my life each day as a recovering addict and am so looking forward to not hating what I see when I look in the mirror (Well, as I stated earlier - I will find somehting else to hate! HA HA)
I will keep you posted on all things that happen after!

That is next Monday!! 
So soon!
for sure, now!!!
So stinking soon!!!!! Ia m a bit neaseated!!!!! 
But, if I sit and think about it - I may not do it - the less time to think, the less time to worry.....and the insurance company obviously believes that I need it - they approved me without a fight.....
Full recovery is 4-6 weeks. They think I will be feeling pretty good after 2-3 weeks and ready to go back to school on September 1.

blah blah blah.. one more thing to make you the center of attention. You'll just do anything to make sure we pay attention to you, won't you???
You know I'm just messing with you. Like I said in my text to you, I am so freakin' jealous, but in a loving kind of way. I can't get this last 40 lbs off so I can't even consider anything yet. I need my boobs done most of all. I don't know what my belly is going to look like once I lose the rest of this weight so we shall see.
If you need anything at all.. entertaining, drama, stories of my adventures to live vicariously through.. you know how to reach me.
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and so happy for you
