Need Dr. Referrals!

Frangipani · March 14, 2008

Hi Everybody!

I am at the very early stages of my plastics journey, but have already benefited greatly from all of the information, pics, and blogs that many of you have so generously shared.

I am nearing my goal weight and am hoping to have a TT or an LBL sometime in August or September of this year. I have not yet chosen a plastic surgeon and was hoping to get some names of good surgeons who specialize in Bariatric patients.

I live in the Caribbean and would need to travel off island no matter who I see, so I am very flexible as to the location. Therefore, please feel free to provide me with the names of anyone who you think is good in the US, Mexico or South America.

I have my first consult scheduled late next week in South Florida, but I plan to have a minimum of 3 (and perhaps even as many as 5) consults. I am not looking for the least expensive option -- quality is my most important concern, but cost will definitely be need to be considered, as I am 100% self pay.

It would also be wonderful if I had the names of some good Doctors in South Florida very soon, so that I could perhaps schedule a second consult during this upcoming trip.

You are welcome to post any referrals on this thread or PM me.

Thank You for your help :angry_smile::smile::cursing:!

i LOVED my PS.

Dr. Harlan Pollock in Dallas Texas. he developed a procedure using progressive tension sutures which require NO DRAINS for a TT.

highly recommend him.

good luck on your journey.

Hi LJM,

Thank you so much. I have been following your journey and as a result of your posts, your Dr. is already at the top my list of people to see, when I make my next visit to Texas. I have already done some additional reading up on his suturing technique, because not having to deal with drains sounds great to me too!!!

Thanks again :biggrin::smile::smile:!
