my visit today

[Guest guest]

Today was the day I went to find out about having plastics. I must tell yall,

yesterday and all today, I was soooo nervous. The appointment wasn't until 4pm.

Dang, what a long day!

Well, I was there 15 minutes for the appointment. I was approved in that time.

WOOHOO!!!

This is how it works in Denmark. I went to my doctor for a referal. Then, I had

to go back to him, to make sure I met their criteria. Next step was today. This

was going to main hospital in our county. This is where there plastic surgeons

are. Their waiting time is 12-18 months. Because of a law that was passed last

year, they cannot make you wait more than 3 months, if it is proven medically

nessary. That date starts from today. Tomorrow morning I will call for my

referal to a private hospital. Since the surgery is paid for, they will do all

the research for me to find the best doctor. (I will research myself as well!)

Within a week, I should have an appointment to see a surgeon. If they cannot

find a good plastic surgeon that can operate before March, they have to find one

in Europe within the same time frame. All expenses to be paid. I am sure that

one will be found close by. There are a couple of very good ones close by.

I discussed having the stomac worked on. This is my major concern. I will be

seeking having the boobs done as well. The doctor that I spoke with today said

after this work is done, I might consider coming back about the arms and thighs.

That is not guaranted but, I may seek it out.

I am just so happy about this! I was so afraid of getting a no. I have even been

doing the high protein this past week to push my weight down just a little to

have a better chance. By the way, it works. I lost 8 lbs and have been the same

for years. I was so afraid that I would have trouble convincing them I needed

this. The doctor took one long look and needed no explanation from me. So,

before March, I will have my tummy worked on.

Thanks for listening everyone,

Dawn

Dawn,

You have got to be kidding.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!

I have goose bumps running down my arms.

#@*! I am packing up and moving to Denmark!!

Congratulations Dawn! This is such great news and I am so very happy

for you that you don't have to slog through all the insurance hoopla

or the expenses. You must be ecstatic.

I am so looking forward to following your progress.

Happy day,

Vicki A.

*************************************************

Vicki,

You are funny..lol. I'm looking at this way, I put my time in being here in

the artic region (close enough, I'm a Florida girl). I consider it a gift

from the country..lol. I've been here 3 years, married to a Dane (great guy

in my opinion...lol), had to get my approval to stay every year..waiting 4-6

months to get my passport back (Would not let me hold on to it, even though

as American's, we aren't supposed to hand them over.), had to go to language

school-required to live here, and am now waiting on my permenent residency

permit (means I can go back and forth with no visa stamps within Europe and

USA).

I really didn't know if they would approve it. I had to have a small cyst

removed last year over my eye. My doc sent me to a local plastis surgeon. He

didn't want to take a chance of leaving an ugly scar. I did ask that plastic

surgeon about having my tummy done then. He gave me a list of a couple of

surgeons and told me that normally one had to self pay " cosmetic " surgery.

We called about getting a private surgeon. They gave me 5 to chose from. The

one I picked is 1-2 hrs away but seems to have the most to offer. Now the

entire country nearly, takes the holiday vacation off so I will get my 1st

appointment the first week of January. We called their office and was told

that after my appointment, I can be scheduled to have surgery 1-2 weeks

later. Kewl Beans!!

After all is done, I will post before and after pics.

Yes, I am very excited about this! It's been 9 and a half yrs since WLS. I

keep standing in front of the mirror pulling and stretching my skin out of

the way. You know, I actually don't look bad under all that skin...lol.

We live in Southern Jutland, in Horsens. It's about an hour driving from the

German border. Where were you? So you were here about 1980. Funny, I was in

Japan in High School at that time.
