Needing Suggestions on plastic



Recommended Posts

I would suggest that you look at realself.com, it's a great source to read unbiased reviews from real patients from those who have had surgery with these Plastic Surgeons. The thing that I really liked were the photos posted. Sometimes you will find that a person is happy with their outcome since there has been some improvement, but the pictures tell another story... I feel the pictures really tell the true story of a surgeons work. All you have to do is go there and type in the type of surgery you are interested in and you will have many reviews come up that you can take a look at. Most people post pre and post op pictures there too. It was from that site that I found my new surgeon who preformed my recent surgery. You can find all of my reviews there under the same name as here. When you find a surgeon that looks promising you will be able to check out all of his reviews under his surgery page. I would say do not forget to look at the unfavorable reviews too...Good luck with your search,

It's huge step in your life, take it slow, you will know when it's right and as far as finances go, you should have plenty to get what you need done. I would have several consults either online or in person, best to have both. The doctor I ultimately ended up choosing was one I consulted with online. He had me take pictures and send them to him and then we talked several times on the phone at great length, I just knew, he was the one for me...I had 10 consults in person and online, so I was pretty OCD...so when I found my surgeon I was confident in my decision....

      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.
