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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
