OhSoNique 84 Posted August 13, 2017 Hi!! I had vsg Jan 5 2015 and went from 274 down to 140 in about 10-11 months. After I had vsg (my surgery went well and my dr was great) my body went crazy I ended up with a pic line in my arm and a feeding tube for about four months before it fell out. So that's a reason why I lose it so rapidly and causing a great deal of excess skin. Fast forward to two years later I'm ready for the next step. Plastics surgery! This is harder than deciding wls lol. I don't know where to start. With wls my insurance had a program with a guide. I'm on my on now. So looking for some starting points and help. Connecting with people who had plastic surgery and sharing your experience with me. I'm even considering Dominican Republic. But want some insight.. Thank you! 1 dreamynow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jands75 10 Posted September 1, 2017 I went to four different plastic surgeons in my home town. I got quotes and each surgeon explained what they'd be doing, how long it would take, their feelings on pain management, and their bedside manner. I chose the surgeon who I felt most comfortable with and who made the most sense to me. Very happy with my plastic surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
