Hi From Nashville
Hi April,
I would like to be a pen pal with you. I started my journey in May of this year and my surgery is scheduled for November 15th. I am currently working on my goals to start to prepare mentally for the surgery and beyond. I live just outside of Philly. I am going to have the DS. What surgery will you be having? Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care,
Denise

Hi Denise, Thanks for writing so fast. Wow, I really was not expecting someone to respond so quickly. I already had my surgery 2 years ago. I met my goal. I so look forward to keeping in touch with you during your journey. I feel great and all that I have been through has been worth it. I have such a wonderful husband who supported me through all of it. I now wish I could have some skin removed and a boob job, but my insurance won't cover it. But that is OK, because I feel great.
I am excited for you. You will feel fantastic! Write back when you can, hugs, April

Hey,
Sorry, I looked at your date wrong for the procedure. I just so month and date not year. How much weight did you have to lose? I need to lose a total of 174 to reach my goal. Right now I am finishing up with most of the doctor appts. I have two on Monday. I have to see a Cardiologist and Pulmonary doctor because when I did the ABG test it showed that my oxygen level in my blood was only at 80%. So I will be cleared hopefully (fingers crossed) with them and then I have all of my pre operative appts in Oct. I am trying to get ready mentally. Do you have to take a lot of vitamins?
My husband and family is being very supportive right now but you know that they are saying wow isn't this being drastic. I really thought long and hard about it and health wise I am in really bad shape. I am only 39 and between the diabetes, cholesterol, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, joints hurt you might as well say I am 100. One of my friends had the DS done and she has been good support for me.
Why won't the insurance pay for the removal of excess skin or boob lift? Some people told me if you can prove that you are having rashes or infections because of the skin they will cover it. Not sure, but something worth looking in to.
Well I better get back to work.
Talk to you soon,
Denise
