Surgeon recomendations in san diego??



Recommended Posts

I just got a referral to talk to a plastic surgeon to get my saggy stomach skin removed. I have been told by a few people that some surgeons word it so that insurance will cover everything. Anyway Im hoping that i can find one in San Diego that is really good. I kind of need everything fixed as i lost 100 lbs everything is saggy and grows. and other tips would be great.

TIA

What I have found is that they would only pay solely for the panniculectomy. Unless you’re paying for some extra out of pocket it’s just removing the extra apron type skin. I am getting a full lower body lift in Mexico in about a week. It’s includes the Tummy Tuck and muscle repair and the extras to make it look really nice. The insurance looks to fix the immediate problem, hangy skin they don’t care about the aesthetic part because that is cosmetic and not medical in nature. I hope this helps.

Generally less than the u s and definitely less than California. I’ve seen body lifts go for as much as 50k in the u s and as little as 5 k in Mexico. Do you research and ask a lot of questions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
