Plastic Surgery Questions....



Recommended Posts

Hello all...I am about a year and a half with the lap band and after weight loss, dieting, and exercising I think it may be time to look into a Tummy Tuck and a breast lift. I am curious to know if anyone knows any good plastic surgeons in the mass/nh/ri area. Also, what is the typical price range for these procedures? Is this tax deductable at all? Reall I would appreciate any advice or help in this area, thanks

I am still looking at prices but my understanding is that if you can get your doctor to state that this is being done for a medical reason that it ABSOLUTELY is tax deductible. I was a self pay for the band and got to deduct all of the bills for that and I got back a chunk of change. Now it was NO WHERE near what I paid for the surgery but it did help the blow a little bit.

I originally went through an internet site that guaranteed financing but the doc that went through the program is too far away from where I live, but if you live close to a big city that is an option. PM me if you want the website.

      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.
