Hello All,
I am new to this forum, but I wanted to post this about Kaiser's option now for plastic surgery for WLS. I understand the copay is about $3,000, but well worth it for removing the "overhang." Here is a website explaining the differences between panniculectomy and abdominoplasty and what insurances will/may pay for based on the surgeon's coding. Check out your insurance options, especially if you have Kaiser. As a previous anesthesia manager there, I have seen several panniculectomies performed.
