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}
