I haven't posted in quite awhile! Well, here is an update on what has been going on.
I am currently at 198 lbs!! Yippee! That puts my BMI at 26 which is at the low end of overweight. I will soon be normal! (Ok I know what you all are thinking!)
At 6 foot tall I can carry more weight so 185 is my goal weight. I haven't lost much in the last two months, but after my surgery to suspend my bladder and uterus the weight started to come off again!
I have been approved for my tummy tuck from the insurance! After a first denial from them, I appealed with a letter from myself and from my family doctor stating all the reasons this is not cosmetic, they finally approved it. I wish that all insurance companies would just realize that anyone who has lost 100 lbs or more has medical and emotional issues with the excess skin!
Well, I am going to call the plastic surgeons office on monday and get the ball rolling on a date for surgery. I have to have my hernia's done at the same time, so they have to coordinate that with my regular surgeon's office so it could be awhile before I get to actually have surgery. I hope my work is cooperative. I have had to take a lot of time off since I started back at the hospital.
