Hi everyone, my surgery date is dec. 30th. I figure it'll take me at least a yr before I get to my goal weight, but does anyone have experience getting plastic surgery in LI, NY, I looked into Dr. Romenelli ya know "mommy makeover" guy???

My advice - don't worry about plastics yet.

When you get there, go out to realself.com and read actual customer reviews and their photos. Surgeons tend to "cherry pick" their before and afters...it is good to get the real deal from patients. Consult with at least 3 surgeons.. I was truly shocked at how much their recommendations varied.. it was very educational.

Who is doing your surgery? Are you having it done on Long Island? I just had mine 9/22 at Huntington Hospital.

I am an old Long Island Girl living in FL now. Sleeved in FL on Sept. 10th. Good to see you are going for bariatric surgery. I have cousins on L.I. who are interested in my operation. I will tell them about Brookhaven. I don't know if they will ever do it. It it is not for everyone. Wishing you good health and great happiness.

Kymmy.. I can't see your stats on my phone but plastics after massive weight loss is not the same as a typical mommy makeover. Be sure to look at before and afters of people of similar situation as you. I had lost 150 or so when I did plastics.

I do believe strongly in my original advice... stay focused on getting healthy and losing the weight first. That's quite a wild ride in and of itself.
