So excited! I think I've found the perfect PS!



Recommended Posts

I'm wanting a Tummy Tuck and boob job and possibly my upper thighs done. There's a plastic surgeon about 45 miles from me that accepts credit cards, cash or Care Credit. (I may have to finance a portion of my surgery) Anyway I made a consultation appointment with him but I don't know anything about him at all. It's a free consult though so I figured I'd go and just see what I thought.

Well in the meantime my hairstylist and the owner of a local business here have both had plastic surgery recently and they are both Lap Band patients so I asked them about there experience. They both used this doctor and have nothing but AWESOME things to say about him. They also gave me the names of 8 other ladies in my town that have used him which is good considering our population here is only 750:)

They all give excellent reviews. They say his skill is awesome, his prices are great and his office staff are very friendly. He also does Lap Bands and since he's so familiar with the band he does surgery without unfilling your band:)

One friend of mine had her arms and stomach done and went home with a pain pump and it was only $8K total. She said after she healed there was skin out of place and he took it off for free in the office. She said it wasn't painful at all and she said if I have any more questions after my consult or during my recovery to just call her and she would help me.

It sounds like he could be just what I'm looking for! I can't wait for my consult now:)

Amanda, I am so excited for you......my PS didn't know how to deal with the band so my TT was not done properly and I have a huge amount of loose ripply skin on my midriff so yours sounds like a keeper. Having all of those testimonials to help you is wonderful, too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
