Please check out the Plastic surgery Forum here at Obesity Help, Inc. Plus, I can't remember the ladies name, but go to My Gastric Bypass - One Woman's Story. There is a huge amount of info on this site www.mygastricbypass.com. I've just begun my plastic surgery journey. I had my WLS 2 years ago, March 2, 2004 and have lost over 195 pounds, am below my surgeons goal and my own goal I set 2 years ago. And I have maintained my current weight for over 7 months now. And never think you are wasting your time when dealing with insurance companies. It makes their jobs easier when we don't "keep after them". And just because one person that has the same insurance company as you gets denied, doesn't mean you will be denied. If you truly want it, go after it and give it all you've got. Good luck. Marlene

I was denied in the start as well... I had arms, breast, implants, legs (thigh plasty), full body lift... I paid for my implants myself! I cannot say enough for Marisa Lawrence...she is the dream of all dreams in my life.... She told me one thing that stuck though.... "Celeste to keep up my good works, you have to stay on the challenge...You do not get something for nothing in life, to get better and stay better you have to want to succeed... I have taken so much from my peers and learned valuable lessons... My desire is to be the best I can be, do not get me wrong... I fail myself sometimes... However, I do not let failure over take my life... I am human, not a robot. I do desire more for you than you desire in yourself... How do I know? Because I was once just like you... Here is something special, I read today!" "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment," we must all suffer from one of two pains: The pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons." WOW...that is too good! Want motivation? Need motivation?? NO... Lets do this... "DESIRE MOTIVATION!"
