getnmygrooveback 17 Posted December 1, 2013 Well, I laughed at the beginning of this when anyone mentioned plastic surgery after loosing my excess weight..... but, yeahhhhhh I'm gonna need it! Tummy is just extra skin hanging down, arms have "bat wings", and my lovely D boobies are deflated to a very small C. So, Dallas area peeps... I need some recommendations for a great plastics doc. THANKS! Stats: 5'1'' 197# starting, 188 on surgery date 1-30-13, today 127# Goal is 123#. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TxParamagician 4 Posted December 11, 2013 Some doctors will do the skin removal surgery at no cost to you. They use the removed skin for skin grafts on burn patients and things like that. I've personally not looked into it yet since I was just sleeved on Dec 6th, but have been told about it multiple times. In also in DFW area. 1 getnmygrooveback reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTattoo 43 Posted December 15, 2013 my doctor for my Gastric sleeve was Dr. Clayton Frenzel. I talked to a few patients that not only had the gastric sleeve but also had their Tummy Tuck and breast lifts with him. I plan on using him when I hit my goal weight. His office also tries to work with your insurance to get them to cover most of the cost for the Excess skin removal.< /p> http://www.mycompletetransformation.com/dr-clayton-frenzel.html 1 getnmygrooveback reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
