Why can't I have my panni removed now since it 's causing me so much grief!

 Molly, I am seeing a surgeon tomorrow morning. Wish me luck. If I qualify, I'm sure you can find someone, too.

Good luck Celly! and thanks for all of your thoughts and advice! I think if I really look at myself I will see that I have been lax and need to drop off the weight I've gained before I seek out surgery! This is itself will be my biggest challenge again! Zipping up my lips to sweets and also drinking with my meals! Ugh the truth hurts!! Let me know how you do ok?  Thanks Molly

 I was approved by the surgeon...now for trying to persuade the insurance company. 

Your surgeon will fight for you I think! I know insurances have cracked down and are tough but if your surgeon truly feels you need it he/she can fight for you! Don't take any cr-p from them! I hope it goes well for you and let me/forum know how you do when you deo have surgery-I will be especially interested in it.  Thanks Molly

 I will, and good luck to you on your journey. Keep me updated, too.
