Keep Your Fingers Crossed Please

I just spoke with the insurance specialist at my plastic surgeons office. She is mailing the packet out today. She said that she prefers to mail it because they print the pictures out so that they are clearer (scary thought). I weighed my boobs and panni last night (don't ask). 16 pounds of weight between them. I will be so happy if I am approved for this reduction and tummy tuck. Please pray and wish for me. My back has been so painful, I feel guilty whining after I've gotten gastric bypass, had no problems, and lost tons of weight, but I can't stand this back pain. Thanks, Mary

My fingers are crossed! Good Luck! Julie

Thanks Julie, I was thinking about shopping experiences with runners, what a good idea. I have no idea what size I am, it changes daily. We'll all have to do it soon Mary

I just KNOW you'll be approved. You're not whining, Girl, you're living in pain, and this surgery will help you. Prayers and good thoughts are coming your way. Congratulations on your weight loss! Love, B

thanks, I miss you Ms. Barb, How have you been

I miss you too! Actually, much to my surprise, I had emergency surgery to install a pacemaker about 6 weeks ago. I had been having low blood pressure and passing out. Though I'm not unhappy, or having any adjustment problems, I've become more and more withdrawn. It's really driving me crazy! LOL. I'm not allowed to drive myself until March, but will be back at LCBB soon. Hate to be such a downer. I really feel very blessed to be alive and I feel fine. I am so excited for you and hope everything goes smoothly. I have had back pain since surgery. Ironically, my chiropractor says plastics would make mine worse, because my problem is that my back is too straight! Hope to see you soon! Love, B

I have my fingers, toes and legs crossed for you! I'm so excited for you! Kathy

thanks Kathy, I was thinking about you earlier as I was checking out everyone's before and after PS pictures. I have to join the voyeur club!!! Mary

Mine was mailed out yesterday as well- good luck to you!!!

I think that I'm more nervous and excited about this than I was the bypass. The WLS just seemed so surreal. I never really thought that I'd actually lose the weight.
