Topic: RE: tummy tuck post surgery with kaiser?
I haven't been on the CA forum in forever but if this is to be y our life you need to get together a plan of action and eating the way you are isn't going to last TOO long well I don't think it will.
Whatever your lifestyle sit down and make a list of what you WILL eat. And build your meal plan from there. Good luck.

Topic: Need help finding a support group meeting
Hi! I live in Claremont, California and need to find a support group meeting to attend as one of my pre-operative requirements and I cannot find one.
Topic: RE: ready give up having a pity party tonight
The problems I have with eating the wrong thing have not gone away with the surgery--but my stomach is smaller and my body doesn't absorb all the fat from what I eat. That is why I had surgery.
I wish the insurance people had common sense about this.

Topic: RE: Insurance drama - need some advice
I hope everything works out for you with the Insurance. One thing I have seen is that most of the surgeons doing the DS have program fees above and beyond what is covered by the insurance. It depends on the doctor, but can be thousands of dollars and covers a couple years of aftercare. I just wanted to give you a heads up, because it could impact which doctor you choose.
