Skin removal in Southern California ?



Recommended Posts

I'm down near my goal weight. My HMO will remove excess stomach skin, that's it. I heard of a Plastic surgery place in or near Santa Monica that uses supervised Medical Students and the cost is VERY low except regular price for anesthesiologist. Can't get any mor details ??? Can somebody help me or make another low cost option for arm, butt, thigh, chest removal of excess skin in Southern California ??

I think I would not go to have plastic surgery where medical students are supervised, but that is me. I would want a licensed (sp?) surgeon to do that. I would be afraid of waking up and looking like human piece of silly putty. Did you ask your WLS surgeon?

Thanks for the reply, I don't care so much about scaring ( I'm an old married man ) just being able to afford skin removal from all areas ( arms, chest, butt, thighs ) , my current Medical Insurance will do my tummy , no charge but after that its staight out of my pocket and I'm far from wealthy :)

@@Steve Puckett I believe any medical school that has a plastic surgery program will have low cost surgeries such as this, where a medical student WHO IS A LICENSED SURGEON will perform surgery under the supervision of an attending.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
