approved

Just to let everyone know that I was approved today for my breast lift.

Monday, I went to the plastic surgeon who did my abdominplasty because I am

not happy with the results. It's been just over three months and I still

have excess skin hanging over the bellybutton and in my lap when sitting.

She told me there was nothing she could do at first. She said that my skin

was just too thin to pull it any tighter. I kept pushing explaining

everything I know about plastics. No doctor here but enough from this list,

I know enough to be persistant! She admitted that she'd never had a patient

who had loss so much weight. She said she could do a little lipo at the

pubic area and overlap the skin more. I kept on...because she could do

nothing above the bellybutton. I mentioned that I was going for approval of

the breast lift today. She said that she could pull the skin up there in the

process. I had my husband go with me for support but he said I did well on

my own. She was actually embarrassed. That was not my intention. I only want

to be able to sitdown and not have anything sitting on my lap.

Today, the first thing they asked me was to see my stomac. Hummmm. I was

there for a breast approval. They had gotten a letter from my plastic

surgeon. I only had to have a couple of measurements and nothing else and

was approved for the breast and revision.

Now, a little opinion from yall please. I thought the same plastic surgeon

had to do the revision. Wrong, I can have it done with any of the approved

surgeons. The first time I only had 5 to choose from. Now, I have several.

The place I originally wanted to go had to long a waiting list to be allowed

and is now on the list. My question is, should I go to the same surgeon or

pick a new one? I'm thinking she would work hard to make it right. If I

needed another revision...the insurance might take her off the list. Maybe

another surgeon would be better. I only have until Tuesday to make my

decision and everything is closed until then. It's a Danish holiday. Any

advice?

Also could those who sent me pictures of their sitting abdomin work, please

resend them? My hard drive bit the dust and had to be replaced. Needless to

say, I lost those pics.

Thanks so much,

Dawn
