How sweet! Was he named after either of the men that died? That would be such a great tribute!

Topic: RE: Question about plastic surgery
Hi. Some insurances will pay and some will not. Your best bet is to have your doctor document all issues in regards to your skin, rashes, back pain...just in case

I am having a circumferential lift, and getting my ares done in November and it's 10 Thousand. My theighs and breast implants will be done next year at a cost of 12 thousand. I have lots of skin but united healthcare denied me.

Good luck.

Circumferential lift/Brachioplasty November 8, 2011

16.3 pounds removed.

According to a schedule that I picked up at St Vincent in Carmel there is a support group in Bloomington on the first Wednesday of each month. The location is 4201 West 3rd at the Methodist church. The time is 6:30 to 8pm it is for post and pre op patients.

Topic: Question about plastic surgery
I have not had my Gastric Bypass yet. I am waiting for a surgery date. I have a pulmonary doctor to see yet before they release me. I am very very concerned about extra skin and plastic surgery after weight loss. I have a lot of extra skin already on my belly and arms. I am fearful that it is going to get a LOT worse. I do not have the $$ to pay for plastic surgery. I was told by someone that the plastic surgery can be paid for by insurance if there is documentation showing a health realated problem/concern. Have you or anyone you know gotten their insurance to cover the plastic surgery after weight loss? If so what did they do? I have medicare and united health? Thanks so much.

Autumn are you still teaching zumba? I was diagnosed last year with lupus and firbromyalgia. Would it benefit me to do zumba? Would it be safe for me to try it?

Still looking for where there might be a support group in the Bloomington Indiana area. I am new to the area and am in desperate need of a bariatric support group. I have heard that everyone on this forum is very nice and extremely helpful so if you could please tell me where I can at least call for information I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Topic: Question about OBGYN'S in Indiana...That are good with Gastric Bypass!
I am 18 weeks pregnant and I am almost 3 years out of surgery!!!!! I am seeing Dr. Jessica Bell....I like her but i dont feel like she is very good with Bariatric Patients. I have cravings for sugar and she tells me to eat it because the baby wants it! I disagree so i called my Surgeon....and they told me dont do it and that i should be eating right and getting blood drawn alot to make sure i am not malnutrious at all. And none of this has been done!!! Also I am having an early Glucose test done and I cant drink the liquid for the test and my surgeon told me to tell them i need to drink 100% grape juice. But I was wondering I am from Mooresville Indiana and I was wondering if any of you had any advice on closer OBGYN'S that have alot of knowlodge with bariatric patients!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!


Beth!
