04/12/09 - WOW...It still works!

Apr 12, 2009

Yep, I'm talking about my band. I cannot  believe it's been so long since I updated my profile and blog. I'm down about 100 lbs since the very beginning of my WL journey, and about 82 since my surgery. I'm still in love with my band!
Last week I had a consult for PS. I should know within a month or so if the insurance removal of my huge, ugly panni. To my surprise the Dr said I really didn't need a LBL, and even though my thighs are HORRIBLE I have to say that I'm glad that i'll only be under anesthesia for 3+ hours as opposed to 6+ that it would take for a LBL. I'm praying that the approval will be granted first time around instead of having to appeal. I went in armed with my own date stamped digital photos of periodic rashes and 'under-belly' sores, current lab report, proof of when I went to acute care for treatment, even a digital pic of the RX cream I use as needed.  Hopefully that is all they will need. We'll soon see!
