Munchkin
Full of Fairy Dust
In a mere 3 years, I can get Medicare. Actually less than 3 years. I have a large hernia that needs to be fixed. I also think my abdominal muscles are split. Diastasis recti. Pretty sure of this because I can actually feel my guts under the skin. Sometimes it's painful but I live with it and I have become an expert at reducing the hernia myself.
Here's what I want. I want the muscle and hernia repair...plus a panniculectomy. Mostly because I know I will never be able to afford plastics! Hell, I can't even afford to have the hernia repaired! I know the scars will be horrendous.
I used to run a lot. Mostly for weight control. The hernia/panni issue limits my mobility. And if I had to guess I would say it's possible the panni may have been a contributing cause to the hernia. I can feel it every step I run. And there is no shapewear that fixes the problem. Plus with these issues no exercise in the world can fix the problem. And the panni does hang past the pubic bone.
Do I have any chance? Is there anything I should be doing now to make approval more likely?
