I have told y'all that I am trying to get a tummy tuck. Well I got the news today.... My insurance approved!!!! Of course they will only pay for the skin removal portion, the OR, and the anesthesiologist...but that is a good chunk of change. I will have to pay for the muscle tightening and belly button myself (insurance doesn't see any "medical necessity" in a belly button).
The surgery date will be confirmed tomorrow. The plan is March 19th. Oh Emmm Geee....that is only two weeks away. I will only take 4 days off of work because we are on spring break the following week. I still have my student teacher until next week, so that gives me time to get sub plans together and have a couple of IEP meetings that I need to knock out so I don't have to worry about them later.
I honestly have no idea if I am supposed to get an unfill before surgery. I guess I need to check on that ASAP.
I hope everyone else had a great Monday too!

That is freaking amazing! You go girl! Continue to keep us updated!
Congrats!! Can't wait to hear all about it. I'm having surgery next week and they are unfilling me.
Yowee Kazowee!!! Girl, you just have that magic insurance charm!!! I'm thrilled for you!!! You got coverage AND the dates you wanted! HURRAY!!! :-)
Great news! Good for you and good luck! I am having surgery next Friday. They haven't really said anything about prep so I am not sure if they are unfilling me or not.
Thats Awseome!!!
yay!!! So excited for you...A friend of mine here got a tummy tuck and she did not do an unfill before surgery....I can't wait to see how it goes!
Hooray!!!! I can't wait to hear all about how it goes. Good luck!
Wahoo! Super excited for my band twin! :)
So Exciting!!! I can't wait to hear all about it. I have to admit it scares me a little, so I appreciate that you are sharing with us.
Congrats girl!! So excited for you!! :)
Congratulations...I'm having my first round of plastics on Monday, the 11th. I talked to the PA at my surgeon's office and she said that it was up to me as to whether or not I have an unfill but either way I need to expect to be on liquids for 3-4 days post-op because anesthesia will make the band tighten up. I decided against an unfill - I'm not very tight anyway and I've just loaded up on protein shakes for the week after...
Great - now you're going to be even hotter than you already are. I'm almost jealous enough to stop being your friend....lol. Nah - I'll still love you Miss Hottie Bo-bottie! Good luck!
Wow, insurance approval! That's awesome--and I bet somewhat unusual. I'm excited for you.
How awesome!! One of my friends (mother of 3, not a bandster) had a tummy tuck, and I just saw the end result (avec new faux belly button). It looks AMAZING. She is thrilled with it, and I'm sure you will be too!
Congrats!! That is such exciting news. I need your insurance.
Oh, please don't have the belly button done, you could really freak some people out and have some fun with that, lol
Wow! That's awesome!! So happy for you!!!
