Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Hi Carla, I'm feeling wonderful since the tummy tuck, although I received a bill for over $3,000.00 yesterday, saying it's the part that wasn't covered. They agreed to pay it all to begin with, so I need to call today to see what the deal is. The bill ended up being over 18K since I was in the hospital for 4 days. I will definitely file a grievance...(do I sound like I've been in the union for too long?) lol It's pretty funny you mention mischevious look...that's been said before about little innocent ole me!! Must be the scorpio coming out....haha. I hope to see ya tomorrow....we'll have to find too!! in Raleigh MGB 11/22/99 270/127 size 24/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 , With so many talking about these things I do not remember who did you TT. I am starting to think about these things although I still have a long way to go, my hanging tummy and my arms are really bad. It scares me to even think of it, I have read so many saying how bad it was and I do not know, first I do not know of a good doctor or where I would want to do it. Can you tell me again. I remember writing to you after you had it. Hope to see you at the picnic. Rosemary Commisso (DrR 1-26-01 297-213) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Hi Rosemary, Dr. Lambeth with Raleigh Plastic Surgery did my tummy tuck July 6th. He did an excellent job with the tummy but not with my left leg. I think his assistant may have done the left thigh and I have ordered a operative report today. I only know that my insurance is not paying for the assistant, so I requested my records. Please read my message to Carla...it really wasn't that painful to me. My only advice would be to wait until you are close to goal or sure you will not be losing any more weight. Good luck and I will definitely meet you at the picnic!! in Raleigh MGB 11/22/99 270/127 size 24/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2001 Report Share Posted September 21, 2001 Does anyone know what an arm " lift " by itself costs? Although I need lots of work, that is the one procedure that I am pretty sure I will have. I am tired of slapping myself with my batwings!!!! Also affects what sizes and styles I can wear. I can disguise the tummy and thighs, but those arms can not be disguised very easily. Pat Eppler Re: Hey !! , With so many talking about these things I do not remember who did you TT.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 No, I never expected to have something like Hep C, but I coulda figured all those years of " risky behavior " might have some price tag! I only found out through a pre-employment blood test. I was floored to say the least. Being the book-perfect alcoholic I am, the first thing I did was go on a week long binge. My family tracked me down, dumped my ass in Detox, and I've been sober ever since. I am eternally grateful to Hep C for my finally making the best decision of my life. It was kinda like Hmmmm keep drinking/die... don't/live better and longer...., which one should I choose??? Yes, I did go through a year pf bliss with Inteferon/Ribavirin, only to have the virus resurface 6 months later. I'm one of those " non-responders. " Again, I never anticipated that would happen, but I eventually came to grips with it knowing that I'm healthy now. ly, I don't really spend a lot of time thinking of my " little problem " , I just plow ahead and enjoy life as usual. I have been involved with 2 research projects (Idenix and Peregrine meds) that are hope for non-responders in the future. The last one (which I'm still going in for post-meds blood draws) was the first time it had been tried on humans. That said and done, I urge anyone to at least try the treatment. I'd do it again if I thought it would help. A year of crap is well worth a potential lifetime free of this virus. Yeah, it sucks going through it, but the worst part for me was being so damned tired all the time, (OH, that and the thinned out hair, my vanity ya know...) You also should prepare yourself for depression, just let your doc know when you start going a tad psycho! You'll hear plenty of horror stories, but keep a positive attitude (I know you can..) I worked full time through all of it. Hang in girl and be strong. NOW, for my final piece of wisdom...Don't let this Hep c bs define you as a person (or " hepper " as many say) and refuse the general characterization. This is only one small part of the infinite you. Later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
