OH MY GOSH MS JONI ... ARE YOU GETTIN' PLASTICS? WHAT KIND? MAYBE YOU & MS BECKY WILL BE GOING IN ABOUT THE SAME TIME. WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE DO YOU HAVE? GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

My gastric surgeon does the panniculectomy himself and breast lifts. My insurance is still in review but we have Health Partners. It will not be a tummy tuck..just the panni. I don't think insurance covers breast lift and I will probably not have it done. My arms are my worst problem....they are horrible. I almost cried in Hamerick's yesterday because I wear 3/4 sleeves and everything is sleeveless or cap sleeves. And all the cute clothes are sleeveless. Oh well, I am healthy and much smaller than last year this time so I will not complain. Will let you know if I get approved...and when the surgery is scheduled. Love ya, Joan

I'M TRYING TO TONE MY ABDOMEN/STOMACH MUSCLES UP BEFORE TRYING FOR A PANNI ... OUR INSURANCE - TRI CARE PRIME - WILL PAY FOR A PANNI UNDER CERTAIN CIR****TANCES, BUT NOT THE UNDERLYING MUSCLE TIGHTENING ... BUT, I'D TAKE WHAT I COULD GET. ANYTHING IS AN IMPROVEMENT. IT WILL ALSO PAY FOR A BREAST REDUCTION BUT NOT A BREAST LIFT ... HMMMM, WONDER IF THERE IS WIGGLE ROOM THERE? GIRL ... DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR ARMS ... OH MY GOSH, ... YOU SHOULD SEE MINE! THEY ARE "ANGEL WINGS" FOR SURE. IT IS HILARIOUS WHEN I EXERCISE MY ARMS AT THE GYM. MY ITTY BITTY ARMS ARE QUIVERING & STRAINING & THEN THESE FLAPS ARE JIGGLING ALL OVER THE PLACE ... BUT, YA KNOW WHAT? I DON'T CARE ... I AM PROUD OF MY ANGEL WINGS. I'VE WORKED FOR 18 MONTHS TO GET HEALTHY - A LITTLE JIGGLY SKIN ISN'T STOPPING ME FROM ANYTHING. THEY'RE MUCH BETTER THAN FAT ARMS!!! I DON'T HIDE ANY MORE ... I HID EVERYTHING AS A FAT PERSON ... NO MORE, IF I LIKE A SLEEVELESS BLOUSE, I BUY IT & WEAR IT PROUDLY! BE YOURSELF ... ENJOY LIFE ... DON'T LET SOME SILLY SKIN STOP YOU FROM LOOKING LOVELY IN A BEAUTIFUL OUTFIT! NOW, GO BACK TO HAMERICK'S & GET YOURSELF SOME OF THOSE CUTE, SLEEVELESS OUTFITS. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT MY FRIEND, JUST PROUD OF WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED! GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk
