Hello & Ins. Q from San Francisco

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've been lurking around and thought I'd pop in. I'm researching

WLS/DS and am very encouraged by everyone's comments (both

the good and the bad). I live and work in San Francisco. I have,

as you might expect, been overweight my entire life and also

have come to the realization (after the latest family reunion) that

the genetic cards are just stacked sky-high against me.

I would like to hear approval/denail stories from anyone in SF

with Brown & Toland Medical Group. I have Blue Shield of Cal.

HMO. They've been pretty generous to me over the years,

including diet programs, so I'm wondering if I'm overdue for a

horror story. Please feel free to contact me via email or through

the list. Thanks in advance!
