Hi Shari, I just saw your post question about will Kaiser cover plastic? Please, let me know what you find out, as I am Kaiser too, and need it too. From what I understand, they will only cover boobs if it's a reduction (my friend just had hers done last week), but it take a while. They usually don't cover the rest. Congrats on your weight loss. Des's date of surgery 3/13/2002 Pre-op weight =316#'s, current weight on 5/7/2003 = 173#'s , -143#'s
