Ok that's my when and where for surgery. The doctor agreed today to

take just what insurance will pay him (altho my case is still in

review if they will even pay him at all since he is out of network).

It looks very promising. They talked to the supervisor today and

told them that he has done 3 of my surgeries and it was best for

continuity of care if he did this one too. They agreed..now we are

just waiting for the final ok. Also, I have an exclusion for plastic

surgery..BUT having said that, they also said that if there is a

reason medically that I need to have it done, that they consider

every case individually and there is a good chance that my

abdominoplasty will be covered. So..its now up to the office to show

cause. They also said that if they put that it is emergent they

reply in light of the other surgery already planned, they would get

the approval/denial done that day. So I talked to the office and it

is very possible that my insurance will cover it all!! And it will

all get done Monday!

Could it be true?? WOO HOO

so ...along with the Open Exploratory Laparotomy, Im definately

having the hernia repair and a probable tummy tuck. Because of the

urgency and the significant weight loss Ive had in the last 6 wks,

they changed their surgery schedules and are taking me in Monday. I

have no idea when I have to be there or for how long but at least

now I know WHEN...and now so do you all lol

....praying they ok the TT!! I will be mad if I have to have TWO

surgeries when they can do everything at once!! PRAY FOR ME

TOOOOOOOOO PLEASE! ok maybe thats dumb as there are more important

prayers to be said..but one less surgery is one less surgery!!
