Hi Beth, I have noticed that Ucla and Pacific bariatrics are so different in how they run their WLS programs. I hear that it is faster have surgery if you go to Pacific. I live closer to UCLA and feel comfortable that I will be close to home. I understand that you will have a tummy tuck. What is the difference between the two you mentioned in our profile. I am curious because one day i may have to face that choice and am interested in knowing if Kaiser will cover the same procedure for me. Any advise you offer will be most appreciated.

Beth, thanks for your helpful comments on the Q&A postings. It is hard to talk to my mother because she lives in Michigan and I live in Florida. Sometimes I do not feel she is not rational. She states that this surg will not solve my problems. Hello I know that. Life is full of up's and downs. I am still going to go foward with my surgery if my insurance approves me.
