Alena,
Dr Suh did my surgery last week too and I am a Kaiser patient still. I talked with Lisa at a meeting in April and she told me the contract was almost done. I called my case manager and asked...
Dr Suh's office has a support group that is full of wonderful people!! In the Administration building of Rancho Springs Medical Center. They meet the first Monday of the month at 7pm, unless its a...
Wow! I'm such a slacker!! I realize its been almost 6 months since I posted here. Shame on me! I think it was most likely due to the run around I was getting, going back and forth between Kaiser and...
Whew!! I made it!!I'm FINALLY on this side of the forum!! I just had my VSG on Tuesday 6/7/11 with Dr Suh. I got home last night and I'm not embarrassed to say that the first couple days sucked!! I...

Some things are just going to sag, and I'm ok with that! But I plan on having a tummy tuck and what I call a 'nipple relocation' surgery. I gotta take care of my girls!

Nancy,
My classes were at Kaiser Corona, but there isnt a facility in the area that will do the sleeve under Kaiser. They contract with Pacific Bariatric and Crown Surgical to do their WLS...
There is also another surgeon who has an office in Corona that does the sleeve too. Kaiser's paperwork only shows lapband and bypass, but the doctor that does the surgery has also been certified to...
Nancy, I went thru Options with Kaiser too. I have my ultrasound on Tuesday (because I still have my gallbladder), then everything gets sent to the case worker for my referral! They said about 3...
