Actually, I had good documentation on the thighs but the truth is that my I had to have my coworker review the case for me as I could approve the surgery myself. I work for my insurance company. They denied the surgery for my arms and the denial was upheld on the first level appeal. I think I will take it to a 2nd level as that is reviewed by outside physicians. The revisions I had were taking some more skin from the upper abd and fixng the scar....it was a little crooked. I still have a small handful of skin in that area that will be revision 2 some time next year when I get the arms done. I also had a "dog ear" on my right hip and there was a small area where I had a hematoma right where the inverted T came together. I had to pack that area, even though it was healing, my surgeon said the it would leave a nasty scar. Had ot have another JP drain but that only stayed in for a few days. Since my insurance paid for the thighs, they have to cover any revisions to it. He said he took off about 25% of the circumference of my thighs, I really had a lot of skin there, but I still have a big handful left. It does look better. My thighs are small but the front still looks like cottage cheese while the backs look nice and smooth. I just want the skin to look smoother. I thought about getting the boobs done. I don't really like the idea of having a silicone implant and saline implants look too fake. Don't really want to spend that much money on boobs either. I guess since I never had nice boobs anyway, it's not that big a deal to me. I'd rather pay the money to fix my arms. As long as Victoria's Secret stays in business, I'll always look like I have a nice rack in clothes! Sue
