Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hi all -- Happy Valentine's Day to me tomorrow (Friday morning) as I'm going in for a panniculectomy and lateral thigh scar release on both legs (childhood scars -unrelated to WLS). Both considered reconstructive. Believe it or not, the scar release was harder to get approved than the panni - go figure. Panni was a slam dunk. Big inverted scars on both outter thighs with a death-grip on leg muscles, pulling and tearing on a daily basis, and I had to appeal this procedure. Insurance initially considered it " cosmetic. " Oh well, I won. So -- I've been doubling up on protein shakes in preparation and am here to ask to be in your thoughts and prayers on Friday. As always, thanks to everyone for what I've " gained " from this group over the years. I'll be in touch.
