Hi Monica,
Thats so Awesome! you Rock Girl!!  Congrats!  Im gonna have to get some tips from you on how to build your case for it as I lose this year :)   Im soooooo happy for you !!!

Hugs,

Jackie

My advice to you is to START NOW. Document rashes, itching, discomfort at every doctor's visit so that you can begin to build a case. I'm not sure, but I believe that most insurance companies will not consider you for reconstructive surgery until your weight has stabilized and you are at least 1 year post op.

When you make your request tell you surgeon to stress MEDICAL NECESSITY and not for cosmetic purposes.

I am very happy for you.

HUGS
JOY

It goes without saying you are one fomidable gal.  Congrats on just another of the many v ictories that are in store for you.
