debbut 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Veronica told us Wednesday that a plastic surgeon would be at the support group meeting tomorrow. It starts at 10:30. I won't be able to make this one since I have so much to do before Thursday. Hopefully, I'll make it next month! Deb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It made it feel different....like it's really going to happen. I am getting more and more excited! Hopefully these next few weeks will fly by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've gone to see a few in Bham recently and I would love to get some feedback on what you thought about the one who came to talk to you. THANKS! he was dr. ike. and i did like him alot. he was a no bullshit kind of guy. and like he said anyone can do plastic surgery, but only a few people does reconstruction surgery. he also was saying no matter who you go to st least fine someone that has done people with weight loss surgery before. he is the one that done veroinca plastic surgery. thats who i will go and see when i get ready for it. We're prob looking at around lunchish on monday...Im hoping the weather is going to be ok... alright thanks. i will see about coming. i know kim want get to. but i might.

Southern Missy 1 Posted May 19, 2009 If you're talking about Dr. Eich, he is one of the guys I went to see. He was very nice and did appear knowledgeable. My only drawback with him was that he doesn't take credit cards and my flex care benefits are with a credit card. I don't have the money to foot it upfront and then be reimbursed, unfortunately! :redface: Thanks for letting me know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
