kaiser people???
Kaiser won't cover plastics for me, and I hear for other WLS patients as well. I had a consult with Dr. Hop Le at San Rafael Kaiser who I heard speak at my support group in Richmond. He does beautiful work but it's expensive. He had me lined up for 4 surgeries, $54K.
I'm going to Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey, Mexi****heck out his group here on OH). I'll have 2 surgeries instead of 4 and the price for all of it is the same as a Facelift at Kaiser.
Kaiser is going to do my follow-up care when I return. Wound care, suture removal, drain removal, hospitalization for infection if necessary. They will cover everything except fixing plastic surgery mistakes or botched jobs.

Kaiser amazes me. I am glad they did my wls, but I am so self conscious about my arms..........the rest I can deal with.......that it is depressing and all I do is wear long sleeves even in 100 degree heat!!
Thanks for your response!

Band removed and feeling alive with energy!
My panni didn't hang far enough down, the eyelids didn't droop 50%, wouldn't do the batwings, but may have done a breast lift... So I went to Dr Sauceda and had an LBL, BL, arms and medial thigh lift and 4 days later a full neck & face lift. I had an 8 week recovery period.
My PCP ordered my pre-PS lab prep workup, and did my after care, which was removing stitches from the medial thigh lift and the BL.
