Topic: FYI - NorCal Kaiser Plastics Costs
I have been doing some research for plastics and found out that Kaiser Union City is the clinic for post bariatric patients. They have two doctors, 1 male and 1 female.
There are height and weight requirements. She didnt say what they were but for me at 5'3" and around 135-140lbs I qualified.
They charge a $100 consultation fee that is applied to your surgery if you have it with them.
Unless you can get your surgery covered by documenting rashes etc. with your primary doctor, a tummy tuck starts at $10,000 and a breast augmentation starts at $6800.
I didn't go any further as I am pretty confident I can do better and am continuing my search. I have a couple of consultations scheduled next week.

Good Morning One and ALL
I know I have not been around in a while, but after our trip to Vegas, I had some major stuff done with my arm. Today I go for a fitting for a prosthesis. I am not sure I will like that very much, but I guess I should go, and see what they are talking about. Right?
I have been keeping busy or as much as I can. LOL I went to the doctor last night and complained about an problem with my ear and found out that I have TMD (Tremporomandibular Disorder) And its not my ear but my jaw. Oh Lord!! What next?
Ok I need to get myself moving. And I need some coffee!!..
I wish you all a great day

Good Morning Cali Friends,
How's is going? Crazy busy day for me yesterday but I left feeling like I got so much done. I won't be back in my office until Tuesday but I'll be working!
Yesterday was my husband's birthday. Did dinner out and came back from my mother-in-law's home made cheesecake (my husband's favorite) which she cut the sugar way down in the receipe. I enjoyed my sliver tremendously.
Today will be another wild one. I have PT this morning (thank goodness) for my neck which they are calling arthritis and degeneration, I just call it a pain! Then I have to drive to Sonoma and go to what the agency is calling a "retreat" a fancy word for a meeting with a dinner and another half day meeting tomorrow. I guess if I have to go to a "retreat", Sonoma is a beautiful place to have to go! Then come home tomorrow and clean house to get ready for the onslaught of our friends who are coming to "jam" all weekend. My husband and many of his friends who will be coming all play music so there will be lots of great rock and roll music pouring out of our house. While I play sax, I don't play rock and roll or improv so I'll be singing from time to time (at least that's what I've been commissioned to do). We've let the neighbors know! We'll all be respectful and stop at a reasonable hour and then it will be acoustic and not amps! LOL
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and remember to do something nice just for you.
Hugs,
Barb

Topic: RE: ARTHRITIS MEDS
My surgeon says that the Voltaren (or Diclofenac generic) cream or gel is ok to use. It's been a real help. He also says I can get a shot of Toradol occasionally. So far, so good.

Topic: RE: Welcome to Wacky Wednesday
Work is a little wacky for me, as well. I am going on a business trip to Sacramento for Thursday and Friday, so have to wrap things up for the week here today. I still have not gotten back to normal after vacation. I got back last Tuesday and found out the wonderful news of my surgery date, then went away to a camp for grieving children for the weekend and now flying up to Sacto.
I will be glad for a little break from traveling to get ready for my surgery.

Topic: RE: Nor Cal Loser's Pool Party - August 13th
am going to try really hard to come after I get off from work at 1pm in Vallejo.
Not sure what I will bring probably some fruit!
Are we having a clothing exchange too? I have about 2 large garbage bags full of mostly summer clothes.

I was worried when I didn't see a post for Tues. Glad it was just work and not some sort of personal crisis.
