I am having trouble with approval right now Renee'. Make sure you get documentation from your family doc of troubles you have had with back skin etc. I got denied for the breasts because I did not have enough to remove. I am a DD and would have to go to an A cup for them to approve.

Miss you lots MJ! Sorry to hear your not doing well. I have issues too. Still occasionally gagging myself over guilty eating and dealing with some physical stuff too. I can kind of relate. It is hard to deal with life in general. Don't forget us here though, it is good support.

Thanks Diane!
I don't do so well sometimes with the excersize and eating either. I was hoping this surgery would change my personality too LOL! But alas I am still lazy and like to eat! I really have to work everyday at it too.

Well if I can't get the insurance to cover it then I am gonna pay for it. I really do need it done, and hopefully it won't cost as much if I am having surgery anyway.
I am doing better with the eating thing, but the ulcer is making it difficult to get my protein in now. I hope they can get that out of the way soon.
Thanks alot Lucy you are a dear friend!

They denied everything I put in for. The only thing I expected them to help with was the tt. I really do need the tt. The other stuff is just cosmetic mostly, but the tummy causes me back pain and humiliation!
All those years of obesity really took a toll on my body, but if I can just get over this first year with all the repairs I should be ok! I just need an overhaul LOL!

My insurance won't cover the tt even with the repair if the suspect it is just "cosmetic". But I have written them a lovely letter chronicling my back trouble hygiene problems etc. and tomorrow I go to my family doc to get her to write a letter for me.
I figure everyone just has a life now, LOL! I do miss everyone though. It was nice to see so many respond to my post.

dropping in to say hi!!!!
well, i guess i am doing ok and not so ok. i skipped my follow up appt with surgeons office last week because i didn't want to hear what they have to say about my weight loss. i lost 7 more lbs since i was there in june and they told me in june they wanted me to gain. i did go to my pcp today and he also wants me to gain. he said a lot of things that i really need to think about.
i weighed 106 for 3 days and went back to 107 this morning, so maybe i will put a few lbs on. while i truly can appreciate the struggles some have with food, mine appears to be the opposite. i don't eat much, hardly ever eat a "meal". today i probably ate 6 donut holes over the course of the day at work. then of course i feel guilty, so i don't want to eat much of anything else! i did buy myself a meximelt from TB. but that will be it for today. not good, i know it, but can't seem to change it.
i have been fighting a nasty cold for almost a week now. my doc says my immune system probably can't fight it off. i believe it, i feel like crap. i am constantly exhausted. i have to get it together. my only goal right now is to get healthy.
love u all!
