Hello, I am from Hayward, CA and am in the process of losing weight; pre-surgery. I was told to find a support group and this is the closest I found, since their aren't any in my area to actually attend. I thought about starting one; however, I just don't have the time.

My question that I asked my doctor and didn't get a satisfactory answer is: Does insurance cover a pannelectomy after surgery? I have had three cesareans and already have some "hanging" skin. I don't know what it will be like after surgery. Has anyone tried herbal wraps?

I'm really looking forward to the surgery and losing the weight. I'm about 100 lbs. over weight, but I have a lot of muscle. Will my muscle retain it's shape, providing I keep working out?

Have any of you experienced the extreme tiredness presurgery and then found you had tons of energy aftewards?

I know, I'm rattling off tons of questions, but I have a house full of kids and adults are a scarce commodity in my home. I'm a single mom of four (one moved out); two boys and two girls. My second eldest is a senior and leaving for college soon.

Awaiting your replies...

Dawnette
