Gina in NY

I am so excited - I love my health insurance! My paniculectomy is covered and I am tentatively scheduled for July 27th, though I have asked to have July 20th if possible. (there is someone "penciled in" but I actually have approval, so I should get that date, don't you think??)

I am going to lose this tire!! This weird water balloon hanging around my waist that lands a second after I do every single step. THANK GOODNESS!!!

Okay, now I have to come up with 13K, but I'll deal with that soon enough.

I'm so excited!!!

Congratulations, Gina!! Looks like you and I could be having our surgery right about the same time! I have my next appointment with my plastic surgeon on Tuesday so should find out something at that time about when I will have my surgery.
