Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 BTW Dawn, Can you give us jump starters what your protein thing you did was? Doesn't have to be formal and exact. We're in the info gathering stage through tomorrow. Thanks, Vicki A. > 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 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
