3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY!

Hello glad to hear about the tea.  I will try to find it in my area or get it from the website. I saw some cute boots in a shoe store in PA. They had pink and green flowers. They were so cute... Wow what insurance do you have? That is so great that you only paid $25.00... Thats better than the lottery......You have lost a good amount of weight and thats great.. Keep up the good work and the scale will move soon... I am sure...

I have Carefirst Blue Cross Blue Shield as a State of MD employee.  It was really great during everything!  Now if only they would decide they wanted to start paying for plastics!  :)

Wow we have BC & BS Federal. I hope they pay as good when I get ready to have surgery...
Thanks for your info..

My mom had to pay about $500 with BCBS Federal. 

Actually, I think they (State of MD Employee BCBS - I have it too) do pay for plastics if it's medically necessary -I say just don't take baths for days and let rashes and odors happen when it's time to see your doc.

And document by  take pictures of them, unless you know a good makeup artist......and act so dang depressed about the body image - it's liable to be covered then.

Just kidding about the hygiene part but I have heard it is covered because skin infections can occur in the flaps plus there's the factor of depression. 

Sorry for the TMI but what used to be boobs now are like tube socks with pennies in the bottom of the socks, so I'm like they've got to get fixed some day!  I haven't hit 40 yet, and I'd like to get a wee perky - just to look normal....in the meantime, underwire and sport bras keep them looking alright. 

I have a rare skin condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa.  I get bad boils in any place where skin touches skin on a regular basis.  My underarms, under my breasts, between my legs and under my rolls around my stomach (all places where I will have excess skin.) I'm hoping to make a case to get them to pay for the plastics in order to keep me from being disabled.  Wish me luck!
