Dr. I had a breast reduction, everything went very good, no pain to speak of. I am now starting to have very bad lower back pains. I am 61, and have had the very big breast for 30 years. Is my back try to use different muscles, it has been two week sense I had everthing done. And my back is giving me fits. Thanks for your help.

Dr. Schulman: I had a breast reduction and my arms done last Friday 10/3/08 I am so happy, and have had zero pain. Just the garment is very tight, but that will get better soon. Thanks for all you help. One week after surgery I gained 4 pounds, Is this just the way it goes? Or am I retaining fluids? Or is it just me. I haven't eaten that much? Just thought I would ask, you seem to know all of our questions. Thanks Againg for all your encouragement.

Michee: So happy you are getting along OK. How much does a Tummy Tuck Cost? I would like to get one very soon, but have not checked prices. Thanks CSS95

Dr. Schulman: What a great service you are doing, thanks so much. I am planning a Breast Reduction, I am really worried about the incision under my breast. Reading different sites they are complaining about their bra rubbing on the incisions? Are they just talking about right after surgury? Or is this an on going problem? Is there new ways of doing it so this problem goes away? New techniqes are are found all the time. Thanks for your help.

agreatknead; Yes, I was banded 9/11/07 by Dr. Gonzalez, and I to thought the whole team was just great. I just went and had a fill a couple weeks ago. His new office on the 16th. floor is very nice. I would had a very good experience there. I am almost ready to have PS done, maybe in Jan. / Feb. 09

Sweety: I see you live in Texas, what about Mexico? I live in So. Calif. I was banded in Mexico, And going to have PS in Jan. Feb. in Mexico. The cost for Tummy, Breast Reduction and my arms. $10,000.00 I have spoke to other that have has PS in Mexico and the are very happy. It really seems that they really care more, maybe it is just me. I will be 150 LBS then, he even said that if I lose more than that, I will need more sugery, you know sagging skin. After I reach 150, me and mt DH believe that would be perfect. Anyway have you checked Mexico? I guess it is not for everyone, but if you give them a chance you would change your mind.

Dr. Schulman: From: Just need some good advise: Thank you so much for getting me an answer so fast. Your answer was very encouraging. I am in So. Ca. and you are in NY. That is why I asked how many follow visits I would need. Could you recommend any PS in So. CA ? Thanks CSS95

I am 61 now, 5'4". I was banded 9/10/07 started out at 210 LBS. and I am now 178LBS. I am a very slow loser, but I am not gaining. My goal is 150 LBS. Now, I would like to have a TT, legs, and arms done. The big one is that I have 36 LL, my dream is to have C cups. As I mentioned, I am 61 and beginning to wonder about my age? How close to my goal should I be? I wanted to have my Breast done, but then I want to get a couple things done at one time. Just need some good advise. Oh, I am in good health, no problems. What kind of follow up is there? If I travel 2 hours from my Home to have work done, should I expect to go back to the Dr. 4 to 5 times? Thanks you Dr. Schulman for all you have done for everyone.

After your TT, how many visits did you have with your DR. How long of a follow up did you have. Is it once you have stiches removed you are pretty much on your own? You look GREAT

Everyone looks so good, Great job

This site is sooo helpful. My scale has a mind of it's own. up, down, up, up down, up, up ,up down. What the heck. 5 months and I am down 25 pounds. That is better that before the Band. I praise God for my Band, I am shotting for another 25 pounds by July 08. I'll show that SCALE Thanks girls for all your encouragement

Yes, Yes, Yes !! I thought I was crazy, everyday is different. I am a slow loser, up and down. Lose 3, gain 2, lose 4, gain 1. Who knows. Like you all say it depends on the day and the hour what I can eat, go figure. But I will reach my goal. My DH is so supportive, he always saying I look great.

Good Luck all of you, I am looking forward to reach my goal. I will do the same as the rest of you. 360 sound good way to start.

I have had 3 fills, funny thing is I can eat just about anything. But soups, and liquids I have a hard time getting down
