Hey Ladies, I too am three years out in July! I am scheduled for my lovely Budha belly removal and Tummy Tuck on June 8th. Two weeks later I will be getting a breast lift with implants. I appreciate all the tips for the Tummy Tuck. Any tips for a breast lift? Prayers will also be appreciated!

Last July, I went and saw my plastic surgeon. They took pictures and we decided what would be best for me. I told them to "shoot for the moon" and send the pictures along with the procedures they thought should be done. I was denied. Kinda knew that would happen since I didnt have documentation of rashes at that point and that was one of the requirements of my insurance. Had to prove I had them for at least 3 months and nothing was working to get rid of them. I went to my regular doctor for the next 3 months and took photos of the rashes. So after 3 months, I submitted a photo album of budha and asked my doctor for a letter as well as medical notes. When it was resubmitted it was then reviewed by my employer. They approved the pannis removal and a breast lift. I am paying for the extra tightening of the tummy tuck and after researching decided that I would be happier with implants than without so I am paying for those as well. Be sure to read your insurance benefits very carefully and see if with documentation you too can get approved. Best of Luck to you! Cindy

Hi! I am glad to see everyone doing so well inspite of some complications. I have pretty much maintained my 133 weight loss give or take 5 lbs and will be taking on another adventure on June 8, 2011. In just 29 days I will be having my budha belly removed and my tummy tucked. Two weeks after that the girls are schedule for a lift and implants. I have been working on this for almost a year with my insurance and cant believe it is almost here. I cant wait to be able to jog and not have my budha stop 30 seconds after I have. Please keep me in your prayers as I will you. Have a Great Day! Cindy

The PS I spoke with didnt recommend one but told me that he expected me to get 100 grams of protein a day. At the store I go to they have ABS Protein shakes. Two hundred and fifty calories and 50 grams of protein. Two shakes and I will meet my quota. Hope this helps.

Today is my day to join the Onederland club! I'm so tickled I just want to shout it out to the world!:frown:

Congrats on the 130! Thanks for your glowing recommendation. I will be in the show on May 1, 2010. Hopefully, I will see your face in the audience for support!
