 A lot of U know my struggle to  get the  plastic surgeons to take me seriously in my " bariatric center  of excellence "  lol  after losing over 100  lbs .  

The problem is that Salicylic acid scrub thing works TOO darn well  and they keep telling me " you should see the other  bariatric patients " 

Well frankly , I DONT CARE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE  darn it  !               


I have worked REALLY hard for a LOT Of years  to look like this         and I deserve the HELP my insurance will PAY  for   for the things i CANT correct  !!  

FINALLY  FINALLY  today I got  to see a new helpful chief resident *****luctantly  agreedto submit for a  abdominoplasty  with liposuction though " i have no excess skin"  .   Yeah RIGHT . 

He DIDNT  say it was medically necessary  though i have a documented history of rashes  .. GRRR making approval HARDer than necessary  but  I wasnt about to argue .


Im PRAYING     .

My surgery date is scheduled for May 31st  ..wouldn't  THAT be a miracle if it actually happened ?

You go, girl! I'll swing the dang lizards for you. I'm understanding and feeling your frustration especially since I can't do anything about this old lady pooch with this back of mine. I'm becoming my mother, {sigh}
