Plastic Surgery After Lapband

[maegan 51]

It is often necessary to have the apron removed after massive weight loss due to the rash etc' date=' like you are experiencing now. If your doc is deeming it medically necessary to get the skin removed, there is a likely chance that your insurance will pick up most of the cost. Unfortunately the "bat wings" rarely if ever get that same stamp.

Good luck, let us know what you find out![/quote']

My friend calls them bingo wings!!! Like when old ladies play bingo and wave their arms around flapping!

I'm searching for a PS in the Hampton Roads' date=' VA area. Anyone know of any that have had lapband patients. Apparantely there are not alot of them out there that are familiar with band patients. I've seen 3 and neither of them have done a band patient. When I asked one of them what they would do about my port, he said "I'll just take it out" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEekkk! I nearly ran out of his office screaming. lol HELP! I wanted to use someone familiar with the band/tubing/port, etc... Also, I'm considering having tummy and breasts done at the same time. Anyone done this?[/quote']

I'm lucky my lap band surgeon also has another office where is he is a plastic surgeon. :-) I live in Oklahoma though and that is far from you.
