I found a great PS!

I know what everyone is going through trying to find a great plastic surgeon - so I want to share mine! If you are in NYC (or willing to travel), Matthew Schulman is great. He specializes in weight loss patients and has great credentials. I had a Tummy Tuck and my breasts done and am thrilled with the results. I am scheduled to go back in June for my arms. I originally found him because he spoke at my supprot group a year ago. I was impressed, so I did my research (is "googling" considered research?) and found more about him on ObesityHelp.com and his own website i(madisonavenueplasticsurgery.com). I don't think you will be disappointed.

hi NYCskinny,

welcome to LBT.

when were you banded? how much did you lose?

[nycskinny 0]

Thanks for the welcome - I can't believe I only found this site today!

I was banded in summer of 2006 and lost total of 95 pounds. I had my plastic surgery in Nov 2007 - I couldn't get that extra skin off me soon enough!

that's wonderful!! congrats.

having the excess skin removed makes a huge difference (i just had my TT on the 29th of Feb)

How much did he charge you for the TT and BA? I just went to my PS yesterday and am waiting for the quote.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm on LI and starting the consultation process soon.

Who did your band? (I only ask because you said the PS spoke at your support group)

I was banded in Queens by Dr. Merola. Dr. Schulman spoke to our support group a few times.
