Don't know where to start looking for body contouring consults



Recommended Posts

I live in Fl but had my sleeve surgery in Texas almost a year ago. I am almost at goal, within 10-20 pounds (my goal) probably closer to 10 but I am always over-zealous. I am not opposed to going out of state but prefer not to. After seeing results for Dr. Capella in NJ, I cant imagine much better results. I need Tummy Tuck, inner thigh lift, butt lift and neck lift, & least priority is boob lift. (Actually I am torn as to whether I should do face/neck first because it really bothers me). I'm looking at maybe the fall or winter time 2015. Where do I start? I do have Medicare but was selfpay for my sleeve. I dont put hope in medicare...still, I will be financing most likely. I really have thought about Mexico but I am just not sure. My husband wasn't comfortable with me going there for the vsg and I doubt he will be any more reassured for plastics. I appreciate any suggestions.

Do what bothers you the most first.

Wow, I am so thrilled that I had my face done with a facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Winslow did an amazing job, so much more than I ever could have dared to hope for. She made my dreams come true.

Search REALLY HARD for someone to do your face. Everything little thing is noticeable on the face. There is a whole bunch of mediocrity out there. And some bad stuff, too.

I am actually ready to get my face and neck done now. I can wait on the rest and disguise some of it but my face looks like I have a very real turkey gobbler and Austin Powers vag*na neck....I look older than I am because the overall skin on my face is sagging.... anyone who I could go to who would eventually do my other work, might be worthwhile if I can come up with the facelift/necklift cost. I guess I could stay in Florida for the face/neck...as I dont have a ton of money for travel just yet.

Thanks for help. SUGGESTIONS? Ideas on cost of just the face/neck would be helpful. :)

I had a lot done so I am not sure how much just my facelift was, I think maybe 6k.

      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.
