Thank you Jillie... Yes, Dr. Kent has done a lot of work on OHers here. I've seen his work first hand and it's awesome. So professional and detailed....

I do need to lose more and its going to be a race against the clock for me because I have other cirsumstances going on and I MUST do this procedure now or never.

Oy, nothing can ever be drama free for me! :P

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.
