SE Iowa support group UPDATE remember the date!

Monday April 4th at the Washington Co Hospital we will be having our monthly support group. Our guests will be the "famous" PS who invented the Belt Lipectomy from Iowa City. (think free consult in a way- get to talk to them and not pay ANYTHING) I just finished paying $100 for a "consult" and if I want to go somewhere else.......probably another $100. The support group meets at 6:30 at the hospital (400 E polk Washington) go to map-quest and they have good directions. The PS are coming at 7:30, they will have before and after pic's, an power-point presentation and be available to answer questions. I am so excited!

Hi Morgan, Nice to see you. I was going to post what you just did because Carol sent me the message I hope alot of people can attend. Even though I don't need it yet I know it will be very interesting to listen to. I finally got all my medical records to my insurance company I will explain at the meeting. I hope I will hear some news soon. Well see you Monday take care and I hope all is going well for you. Lavonda

This sounds interesting. I know when we had a PS talk at one of our support group meetings I was really excited. He showed pictures (PowerPoint) & the before & after shots were great. I take it that the "famous" PS is Cram? I didn't realize he "invented" the belt Lipectomy but did know he is highly thought of in the PS community & patients come from all over the world to have surgery by him. Our local paper has a "ask the expert" area on their website & they have answered questions as PS experts. This is part of what it says about them. "Areas of expertise cover the gamut of facial, breast, and general body contour cosmetic procedures and would include breast augmentation, breast lifts, face lifts, brow and eyelid surgery, nasal surgery, as well as liposuction for body contouring. Breast reconstruction is another area interest and expertise for the surgical team. Dr. Aly and Cram are best known nationally for their development of special procedures for the massive weight loss patient. Belt lipectomy and upper body, arm, and thigh revisions following massive weight loss have been provided for patients from both coasts of the United States and for patients from as far as Australia and Ireland." Let us know how it turns out! Dixie
