Thanks for the AD!!! I’m, , Clarence 34 from Austin Texas and a Point in my life a few years ago, I once weighed over 400lbs, BUT thru Diet & Strict exercise ( Insanity, T25, P90x ) for months & years on end I am finally at a healthy size, I once wore up to size 60 pants and 6x shirts. I didn’t have any surgery or anything just the old fashion way…And now I am at a point where I have extra skin and it’s really causing me back problems and other problems that rather not mention, My Primary Dr. advised to me that it’s Necessary that I have this surgery done, My insurance company denied the procedure, so now I’m in the appeals process trying to get it over turned and approved, I have letters from Dr’s, Photos & a personal letter, I still haven’t heard from the Appeals Department, but starting to lose hope and just took it upon myself to try and come up with the $$$ together to have this tummy tuck surgery done, I haven’t met anyone that’s been in the shoes I’m walking in till joining this group, looking to meet other like-minded individuals. Currently I help and motivate other to lose weight and succeed my story was featured on.. Now I run marathons, do all types of challenges, coach and other things as well, also in the process of starting a run club… Any advise or knowledge is greatly appreciated…
