Consult today..

I have my consult today and finding myself exttremely nervous.  I don't know why.  I'm 18 months from my RNY, within 5lbs of my goal weight.  My "order" of things I would want done would be:

1) Arms
2) Tummy.. but have a feeling he'll recommend an LBL
3) Boobs - I've always had big boobs and they have disapeared and deflated...
4) Thigh lift. 

I know the Tummy should be covered by insurance.. but it's finding out the cost for the rest and seeing what the dr see's and recommends.

I can cover it well with clothes but really diving deep into this flabtastic skin.... ugh.  I could care less about my stretchmarks or scars (they don't bother me at all).. but the skin is bleck!.

Have you checked with your insurance company to see if your tummy will be covered? Many insurance companies do not cover it. My order of importance was the same. I started with my arms because the rest I could hide with shapewear. I had my lbl/bl 18 months later. Someday I may get a thigh lift, but not sure. I'm pretty happy with myself "as-is" right now.

Good luck on your journey!!
