Go a week back on the plastic surgery forum, and you will find a thread where a person posted links to residency programs around the US. I think Georgia was one listed. Also if you go to the upper right hand corner you can do a search about residency programs and will find a lot of useful info as well. That is what I did. I wish you the best.
Thank you Dassie I did find the list and wrote a THANK YOU to the person who created a true blessing now i will hunt and find what I need I do feel thou my insurance should cover my excess skin removal but I can not fight them anymore and I have saved up already 5,000 dollars of my own money to get something done its finding someone to help me get what I want or help me with this situation
