SOME GOOD NEWS

Well, after the original submission and two separate formal appeals, my insurance company has overturned its initial rejection of providing coverage for a lower body lift. I will undergo the LBL and a brachioplasty (arm lift) on January 31 -- 8 hours of surgery and I'm told by my PS that it will be a rough recovery period. But then I'm done -- am so ready to start the new phase of my journey of just living life...just living. Thanks for being there. Maureen P.S. Ken, O Silent One, isn't your surgery coming up pretty quickly? What are you having done again???

WOW...congrats on the surgery approval! It sounds like a toughie, but I know you're going to be just fine. As usual, our thoughts and prayers are with you! Joanie

Your persistence paid off!!! That is great news! When are you scheduled? Joy

Well, duh--Jan 31. At least you get to enjoy the holidays before surgery--and that will make the time pass quickly! Joy

Woohoo!!!! I'm glad someone has insurance that pays for something. Mine's a bear. Love ya, C.

That is wonderful!! Prayers & thoughts for you & yours family for a quick recovery period & not too much pain. I think Ken said his was the first part of December around the 7th, I believe. Ken where are you? Marilyn, the Bearlady

That's just fantastic Maureen! I hope my insurance can step up to the plate with at least part of all this. I'm still dragging my feet though. Something I want so bad, yet am so apprehensive of!!! Dina
