Kaiser tummy tuck cost in Southern California
carlacv posted a topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Thinking of getting a tummy tuck at Kaiser but they won’t cover it. They won’t give me a price without a $250 consultation fee and wondering if anyone has had it done there, cost and satisfaction? -

not sure where to post this or even if this has been asked before. Wondering if Kaiser would pay for a tummy tuck. I had gastric sleeve done by kaiser in 2018 and then a revision due to GERD in 2020. doing good now but need a tummy tuck desperately wondering if anyone has had it paid by Kaiser. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

I typically have 2 shots of espresso with my premier shake over ice for the past 3 years had a revision and wondering if anyone has had a bad side effect with trying a shot of espresso with their premier shake. Just wondering just had my revision 8/3 doing really good but already missing it the Protein Shake is to thick without it thank you

Re-sleeve to Bypas
carlacv replied to Rocky4521's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had the sleeve 9/2016 and 3 years later I developed a hernia. went to my surgeon and did some testing. was told that I needed the redo but I would need to get the gastric bypass. Surgery was delayed twice due to covid and I was just released from the hospital today. I feel great, sore but great. I had surgery on Monday 8/3 and my surgeon is very conservative so he kept me till today. He showed me pictures of before and after. I have my follow up on Monday. Let me me know if I could help out -
