Hey there, I feel your pain, getting insurance changed is no fun.
Dr Kahlil Shillingford in boca raton was my surgeon and he took a ton of insurances; you can call his office at 561- 483- 8840 to ask but i know he takes
Medicare and many of the hmo's along with some other Medicaid plans
He is also an awesome surgeon!

Topic: ANYONE IN FLORIDA! I NEED HELP!
I've been on Medicaid Medipass for the last year, and it covered my bariatric and knee surgeries. It has honestly been a God send. Just last week, I received a letter in the mail, saying that I no longer have insurance because there is a change being made from Medicaid to Medicare. Anyway, I was instructed to pick a new insurance company from the list, before August 16th, and I am CLUELESS as to which one! I've been given 20 choices, but I have to keep future plastic surgery possibilities, and my RNY post-op needs in mind when choosing my new insurance. I HAVE been getting rashes under my abdomen and left breast due to my weight loss... and I may need to get plastic surgery for this someday. I do know a few people that have been covered by their insurance for plastic surgery; but they are not in my state, South Florida. Below are my choices. Can anyone with experience please put me on the right path? I'd truly appreciate it.

I have the same problem. I go back to Denver to see my surgeon. I have my pcp here do the lab work. She calls the surgeon to get the labs he wants then I go to Denver and see him twice a year.. if I have a problem I go more often. It is costly though. Carla

Hello Friends!
I’m helping out OH by coordinating the fashion show models for the October Atlanta Conference. Below is some information they’d like you to know so you can come join us and show off on the catwalk!
Remember, EVERYONE is invited to participate, men and women. All you have to do is bring an outfit you’d like to be photographed in.
Email to [email protected] your photos and information:

This is your chance to shine and to show everyone what a great job you’ve done. It’s also a way to let the community know who your surgeon is.
