Topic: RE: Parkwest Medical center---Payments?
 I just had my surgery with Dr. Boyce 8/22.  I was mailed a bill for my portion that insurance was not going to pay due on my last Pre-surgery appt for both Dr. Boycxe and the hospital.  The amount would be based on your insurance plan.

Good for you on the vitamins, Also good on you for the plans you are making. You CAN turn this around. If you DON'T turn this around then the sad truth of the matter is that NO WLS is gonna work for you. But it won't be the surgery failing,so good l;uck and keep us posted,

Topic: RE: Dr. Houston and adopting patients
I am extremely compliant with my vitamins.  I take multi vitamins, calcium, iron, B12, Vitamin D.  When I had my blood tests done a couple of months ago, the only thing he found was that I am anemic, which I have been since I had surgery and he upped my iron. 

I am going to try AGAIN going back on a low carb diet.  I went to the grocery this weekend and bought quite a bit of meat and found some low carb recipes on the Internet that don't seem to take a whole lot of time to make.  I can't stand on my feet very long because my back starts hurting.  My hubby WAS fixing me supper every now and then but he doesn't now. 

I only ate 1/2 tenderloin sandwhich because i forced myself to stop not because I was full because I wasn't full. 

Thanks for the suggestions.

Topic: Looking for recommendations for Plastic Surgeon
I'm down 91lbs and expect to be at my goal weight by the end of the year. I'd really like to start the process of finding a cosmetic/plastic surgeon in the Nashville area that specializes in Weight Loss Surgery patients. I'd like to get an Arm Lift, Tummy Tuck, and Breast Lift (maybe with implants). I'd like to get them all 3 done at the same time. Looking for anyone that has had any of these surgeries and can recommend a good doctor.

Also looking for anyone that has had a successful arm lift where they didn't cut from armpit to elbow. Everything I've read makes me think that WLS patients are  applicable to the T-Scar procedure in the armpit, but anxious to see if anyone has had it and if it was successful. Also looking for price ranges of surgery.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you Connie for answering this post.   I have been wondering ....since I first joined in 2006 it seems that interest in this board has almost died.   Maybe there isnt a lot of surgery going on anymore.    Thanks for your response to me.   I wish this were a week a week from now...it would all bebehind me.    For sure   I have to remember that pillow.   Great idea.  Jane
