SURGERY ANYONE???

Postby LilMsTexas » May 31st, 2005, 4:13 pm

OOOOOOOOH MY GOSH EVERYBODY....IT'S OFFICIAL....JULY 8TH AT 7:45 A.M. I WILL HAVE MY TUMMY TUCK!!! WOOOHOOOOO The authorization went in today :shock: They received the letter from the doctor late on Friday...was put in the system Monday morning on some freak thing or it was put in on Friday and didn't show up until Monday because they were closed (I shamelessly called and checked) This morning I called again (couldn't help myself) and the lady told me it was received but not to expect an answer to probally Friday :cry: So I thought oh well..that's what I expected anyway. But...at 4:30 this afternoon I couldn't stand it any more and I called my surgeon's office. Latasha told me she had received the fax just a bit earlier and had already called the house and left a message on my machine :shock: OH MY GOSH I started crying right there on the phone...then she was about to cry and people in my office heard me and came running thinking something was wrong hehe then we all celebrated and hugged and I cried some more ;)

So...wow...I can't believe it and I can't believe they approved it so quickly. But honestly, like I told my Mom, it's not hard to get something approved that is legitimate. It's only when people are trying to run a scam or get something far fetched approved that it can get complicated. I just honestly can NOT believe it is true!!

So now I need to talk to my health advisor or Nancy and maybe the nurser and find out how best to transition in Mid June I guess?? I don't know. I can't even imagine transitioning to maintenance. I'm going to go full on as long as I can, but I know I will have to change over and be comfortable with food again before the surgery. But I want to continue to use my MF supps as part of my maintenance plan as well. Wow...I"m scared now to be honest. SO much going through my head.

Anyway..plenty of discussions to be had. I just had to jump on here and tell you guys as soon as I could!! YIIPPPPEEEE I'm finally going to have the BIG FAT BELLY MONSTER LOPPED OFF :lightsword:

CHEERS!

Yeah Christi!! :yes: :yay: :thumbig:

I felt pretty confident that it was going to be approved, but KNOWING it has got to relieve all that waiting & wondering! I'm so HAPPY for you!! You're going to be THE skinny minny :dance: at the get-together in October for sure!!

I know a lady who had this done this past spring - and she looks GREAT!! Wears a bikini and everything!! (she's given birth to 3 kids - 2 teenagers and 1 toddler). She said she was sore for about 2-3 days and after that...WOOHOO....lovin the skinny life!!

Thanks everybody........this is EXACTLY why I wanted to get on here and share the news. I felt like telling ya'll was like telling the "rest" of my family. I will keep you all posted on all the facts as I get them. I know there are alot of you that are thinking about this in your future as well.

I will also tell you that I will post my BEFORE pictures and a NOW picture and then an AFTER picture when the surgery is over. I have pictures of me in biker shorts and a sports bra :shock: I had my husband take these pictures of all around me standing in front of a white hallway so I could REALLY see what my body looks like. Friends it isn't pretty. But now I'm so excited I have the pictures and I still have the same shorts and sports bra so I will take pictures now and then after the surgery. You will totally be able to see the complete transformation :D

Today I feel like the rest of my life is just ahead of me......so close I can feel it. No more holding my stomach back so I can be cut on. No more putting a maxi pad between my stomach and my body to deal with sweat and odor. I hate to be graphic, but this skin disease causes a terrible odor. My life is going to be totally different. People look at me with my clothes on and never notice the real problem is underneath my big baggy shirts. No one but my husband has to see me crying in pain when the cysts are here. But no more!!

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN FRIENDS!! LET THE FUTURE BEGIN!!
Stay tuned for more news as the story develops lol

Christi - My eyes are full of tears - of joy, for your wonderful news. And of compassion, for all that you have had to go through with those nasty cysts :cry: . I completely understand, being a diabetic myself. I've been fairly lucky having only experienced two episodes of cysts (for those of you non-diabetics, this is a fairly common thing among those of us who are). But one of those times, the infection almost killed me. It is a very humiliating situation to have to deal with :oops: . I am just so absolutely, overwhelmingly, fannnnnnnnnnntabulously fill with happiness for you right now :D . Your MF family will be here to cheer you on and support you in any nervousness or fear that tries to descend. Count on us to rattle our shakers at those demons :x and scare them away! How about a bright pink bikini for October? 8)

Good for you!

Christi, Excellent news about the surgery. Your experience will be very helpful for those of us out here who could be candidates for the same procedure.

Here's a question: how many pounds does the surgery itself (on average) make one lose?
