Hey everybody,
I was approved by my insurance for my abdominalplasty. They are going to fix a hernia as well.

JUNE 12! Coming fast! I may miss the BOT session on the 13th, but they said it was an outpatient thing, so who knows.

YEAH!

Congratulations, Veronica, on the approval of the tummy tuck!  The fact that you have a hernia probably helped with that.  It's nice when the need to fix one problem can contribute to the approval of a desired but often considered optional/uncovered procedure.  I'm surprised that it will be outpatient surgery.  Where are you having it done?

You may have discussed this at class this morning, but I was late and missed it.  Since I just saw your post, I thought I would comment now.

Also, I just looked at your profile and pics.  I really like your Miss Tall Silicon Valley photos.... beautiful   ......and what a wonderful way to commemorate your weight loss journey!

See you next week.
Rosemarie

Thankyou Rosemarie!

No, I did not mention it in class, just posted it here. I was surprised it got approved so fast, with in a week. I am having it done in Fremont through Washington Hospital. My plastic surgeon said it was a 3 hour operation and I would be in recovery about three hours then I would go home. Done deal, I know i was a bit surprized by that too.

Thanks for the comments about my photos, I really should post some new ones. I will see you next session. Chime in here often!
