hi everyone...

i am stopping by to check on everyone, and see how you all are doing. hope all is well.
anyone know when the next meeting is at rwmc...i would like to attend and see you all and the progress that everyone is making...i could also use some continuing insight...

as some of you may know, i reached my goal, and things are almost at a standstill... it took me a month to lose 5 pounds...but what a feeling it is to be at goal...

i went to check into plastics yesterday...WOW!!! that's all i can say!
damn insurance makes it so difficult to qualify, so unless you want to mortgage the house...argh!!!!!!  

looking forwaard to hearing from you all....

take good care

Did you have any consults yet?  I am going to make an appointment with Lori Polacek... breasts and stomach... hopefully I can afford it - my husband is letting me borrow from his 401K...

hi jo...
i did have a consult, insurance wont cover the breast reduction /lift...make the requirements so damn hard to achieve.

the breast surgery would be close to 7500.00 and the thigh lift was the other surgery, and that was about 6,000.

however, they did give me a quote for a belt lift, whi*****ludes, butt, and tummy...that was about 15,000. they said if i did that, i probably wouldnt need to do the thighs... guess they just wanted to give me more to think about.

where is lori polacek out of? i am also going to try the clinic at rih.

good luck, let me know what other info you get... i am still inquiring!
thanks

linda

My PCP suggested her to me - Atmed in Johnston I think... I think it might be fatima or roger williams not sure though.

I def do not want to be cut all the way around - I don't care what my ass looks like!!!  All I care about it removing my stomach and having boobs that look full!!  I am afraid of the circumferential cut!! Who did you consult with?

I will be calling this week to make an appt... we shall see!! I hope it will be less if I get both done at the same time.  I am undecided on just a breast lift or lift with augmentation....  my husband says go with he sugmentation LOL!! I think it will depend on what size I can be without it!  I have always wore a D cup or larger and I would like ot be a decent D or full C when all is said and done!!
