Plastic Surgeon referrals for after weight loss please!



Recommended Posts

I am almost at goal! Took a lot longer than I expected but I am loving this new body! Not so much for the extra skin though. I want to start researching plastic surgeons to tighten up my tummy, arms and legs. I only lost about 70 pounds but it's jiggly for sure, not hanging over or anything though - so no way will insurance cover it. Anyone have great results with an affordable surgeon? I don;t mind going to Mexico or Central America to save some money either! Thanks~!

There is also the radical option of just loving yourself the way you are.

Didnt go through all this to stop at the one yard line! God blessed me with a beautiful body that I have been covering in fat for decades. I am thrilled to be able to enjoy it's strength and beauty for the years I have left.

Was hoping this forum had a number for people who were experts on apres weight loss surgeons. I have tried to research myself but it's hard to see who's really good and specializes in this. the real self site is pretty good but nothing beats a recommendation. Thanks!

There are plenty of great post weight loss surgeons out there. In my opinion, cheap isn't good and good isn't cheap. I have researched and found Dr Fisher in San Antonio, close to where I live. I expect to spend lots on plastics. I love myself, but let's be real...who doesn't want a "normal" looking stomach and perky boobs? If you are willing to travel, check out Simone's journey to health on Facebook. She used someone in Arizona and her results are fantastic.

      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.
