Dr. Lomonaco in Houston?



Recommended Posts

hi

i booked my PS with dr lo. i wasnt sure if i was even going to proceed but after doing research with a few doctors...i decided on dr lomonaco.

i like his methodology and approach towards the surgery. also he really guided me on what i DO need to do and more importantly DONT need to do. he was the only surgeon that gave me guidance in the "dont need" area

i also got a great feeling from his staff. they remind me of Dr Spivak's staff which have made this journey much easier.

i will do TT, breast lift and bootie augment....

timing is still up in the air...my niece's wedding is in august and i go to NY for 6 weeks sept/oct.

so i am scheduled for nov 11...however if they have a cancel within the next 2 weeks i could go then.. i want to be healed for the wedding

Josie,

That's great!! I'm so happy for you!! I'm scheduled Jan 7th. I didn't want to do my surgery till after christmas so my fiance's family wouldn't see the bruises and such. Dr. Lo is doing Lipo on my neck, lifting my boobs, tucking my bra roll. I'm going to go see him again next month to talk to him about actually tightening the skin on my neck (if he thinks I'll need it) and doing lipo/tucking on the two areas under my shoulder blades on my back (they look horrible). I can't wait till my surgery!! Let me know how yours goes!!

hi brandy

since our surgeries are close in timing we can coach each other. i'm acting like "no big deal" because it is so far away. as we get closer.....i'm a scaredy cat. in fact i always say i'm like a man when i get sick or in pain ha!

the one area of question that bugs me is my tricep. so i am going to work out this area with weights (i hate tricep exercises) and see the best i can get it before deciding if i need to do it in phase 2. i really dont want that scar...so i will try my best.

anyway...keep me posted on your second meeting.

Will do!! Look at it this way, if you can handle the band surgery, you can handle this!! We have been thru so much already, this will be nothing.

**waving at BrandyK**

I'm in Pearland and have 'back boobs', TOO!!

I'm wondering when I should call to set up a consult or attend a seminar with Dr. LoMonaco -- I've still got a long way to go to get to goal, but once I'm there, I don't want to languish in this deflated fat suit one day longer than I have to!!

Nana,

You are doing great!! It never hurts to make an appt now, besides, it'll take about three months for them to get you in. They can always have you come back in closer to your surgery date for pics before surgery. This way you'll know what he can do for you and how much it will cost, and lock in his pricing in case he goes up anytime soon. His pricing is great, and his bedside manner is awesome. His staff is very sweet and you feel totally comfortable with him. I'm counting down till January when my surgery is scheduled. I tried on wedding dresses last weekend and I had major skin folds hanging over the top of my gown, it sucked!!

      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.
