I'm back
No I haven't any PS yet. I am dancing the insurance dance right now. They have received the letter from my plastic surgeon and now they want verification of the codes and a letter of recommendation and proof from the PCP. So it is not a denial just a delay. Hopefully I will have something done by the end of the year
I have plenty sagging skin. I have what I consider no breast or butt. I went from a 48EE to a 36D. All of that is just empty skin. I am almost 50 and I know things tend to go south with age. But I trully miss my breast. I believe the reason I don have as much hanging skin is because I worked out. It is bad to me but when others see it...other WLSers, they dont tend to think it is that bad. To me it is. But I think it is like weight. It is a personal issue. It I didn't have breast and butt before MAYBE it would not bother me so much now. Who knows. But I will keep you posted on my PS when I get approved. Their will be pictures. That is the one thing I am trully glad I did was take plenty of pictures of this journey. Without my pre-op pictures , I dont think I would be able to really appreciate this blessing. Pre-op I always knew I was a big girl. However, having those picture available gives me something to reference and also keeps me focus.

I'm feeling you Tricie-- I went from 368 pounds to 156, and a 48H to a 32D...am having my plastics next month. Like you, I look good in clothes-- but out of them? Run away! Run away!
Best of luck on your continuing journey!
