Topic: RE: I'VE HAD TROUBLE GETTING ANY WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY COVERED
I had to have Diabates, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and more in order to get it covered. I would try your regular physician first. He is the one who can speak for you to medicaid. If you don't like what he says, go to another Dr. until you hit the right one. I had to go to several until I found the one that WANTED to help me.
Good Luck
Good Luck

Topic: RE: OLD TIMERS... I GOT A QUESTION!!!!!
Hi Kim,
Boy do I feel dumb !!!! lol I did not connect with the tummy lift and Pann. I also had that done by Fobi also my arms and breast reduction. I was a mess !!!! lol But life sure improved for me after I lost the first hundred pounds. I have not been back to see him since we have Kaiser insurance now. I wonder Do you know if they are doing in background studies on people he did years ago ? I remeber when I first started going to him I they filled lots of papers they said they wanted to do research on people years down the road ?? Just thought maybe you had heard something. Does Dr. Lee still work with him?
The computer is new to me so I am not real sure on posting , etc etc, but I am learning. I definitely can eat more then when I first had the operation. I do not dump any more. I can eat about 5 bites of tender steak. I do not eat a lot of meat mostly fish.
Keep up the good work Kim I know you are so happy. We live in the Temecula area now.
Take Care and keep me posted on your continuing success !!!!! Sandy

Hi Sandy,
The pannelectomy is where they remove the hanging skin from the stomach, much like a tummy tuck. I still see Dr. Fobi every year for my check up. He is affiliated with St. Mary's Hospital in Long Beach. I live just a few block from Gardena H.S. I am so happy to meet you. Keep me posted on your revision.

I can not eat large portions but I eat from a saucer and when I am done that is it for me. I also eat at the same times everyday and only eat a treat on the weekend. I don't bring sugar or bread in the house. I really had to work on what was eatting me and what I ate took care of itself. I think it gets easier over time because it become your way of life.

Kimberly good to hear from you. I am attending classes at Kaiser in order to qualify for the revision. They talked about this web site in clas that is how I happened to hear about it. Not sure if I will be able to get the revision or not but I hope so. I had the dumping for about 7 years that helped me a lot to keep weight off. Because I really like sweets.
I family owned the Foster Freeze in Gardena from 1964 till 1973. It was on Vermont Ave. Gained a few pounds there lol. We had a lot of students work for us from Gardena High School. So good to hear from you and glad my input helped.
I am not familier with a "Pann" could you please explain? Thank you

Hi ,
I am so happy to see an old timer on here. I had surgery with Fobi in 1992. I had the staples and I had to have a revision in 2004 and Dr. Fobi did a pann at the same time. I think you have done great. Welcome aboard your wisdom is welcomed on this site.
