Loosing my belly button
Dec 13, 2009
I hate blogging. My mind is so scattered I can't even think. I am very pleased and proud of my progress. Today is my 16th month. I weighed in at 182 this morning. I have lost 188 pounds! Wow. I was going to be happy to make it to weighing 200, but to be under and still loosing is great.I saw 2 plastic surgeons in November, and picked the one I wanted. Mostly because she would submit for insurance and the other guy would not even consider it. I am having this huge apron whacked on tuesday, dec 15, 2009. I was denied 2 weeks after submitting. Dr. Eslami CALLED the insurance company, told them how I have custody of 3 and 5 year old boys and I really need this off so I can properly care for them and be in their lives. They said Drs don't call us, they submit papers. She said this dr makes phone calls! She said they were at a loss for what to think so they reversed the answer immediately! That was all this past thursday. My insurance will change the first of the year, so the surgery has to be this month. The only day she has open is tuesday.
Sooo much to do and sooo little time. Taking care of the boys and now my mom, who spent 2wks in macu and is now in a nursing home near me for rehab. I had her brought up here so I could take care of her, and now I will be laid up. No stress here!I will find out tomorrow if there is a hernia in the upper portion of my abdomen. If so, I will have the full tummy tuck. If not, then just the panniculectomy. But I will be so happy not to have this huge thing to lug around. Because of the position of my belly button, it will more than likley be lost in the surgery. Won't be able to tell if I am coming or going...may have to get a tatoo of one! Both surgeons estimated this thing to be about 30 pounds. OMG that will put me at my personal goal of 150 pounds.
