Topic: RE: Lower body lift complications

Hello, sorry for your trouble. Yes, with the connective tissue disorder, this will have some effect. However, I have also read that some people have to wear their compression garments for up to a year!

Thank you to all who take the time to share and give me advice.

Topic: RE: Southern Florida facelift, necklift surgeon recommendations please

Your best bet is probably to create an account and do some searching on www.realself.com. There's really only a couple surgeons that end up talked about here and I don't see a lot of posts about facelifts, so your answers may be sparse!

In my opinion, you are close to the best plastic surgeon I have ever seen. Look at his before and afters. Dr capella. There's a lady on here that had everything done by him, and wrote a very very detailed post of everything she had done.

Hi Gwen...

Hope you had a nice Valentines Day. Mine is always quiet with two beautiful V cards from my honey, (hubby) and my 4 kitties...LOL Got some flowers last week.

I must ask you, as everyone is way ahead of me in computer knowledge. I tried to set my ticker with my goal wt and all I got was the beginning without reaching my goal wt, which I did. Do you know how to do it on this Obesity site?....usually it is every simple.....

Take care and have a lovely evening.

Topic: RE: LBL and some lipo, 3/7/18

Hi there,

I attended the obesity help conference in October of last year. I worked with the doctors offices who attended the conference. They took pictures and submitted all codes to insurance. I have a PPO. In 2015 or 2016 in the state of California Kaiser Medical was taken to court by a gastric bypass patient who was denied ps and was told all ps was cosmedic. Kaiser lost the case and since then in California it has been easier to get approval for some of the surgeries. I was denied 2 times before approval. It took 3 months to get everything approved.

I recommend that you call your insurance company and ask them what their requirements are. For example, mine will cover NOTHING, regardless of medical need.
