HI everyone! I just got my seminar date for January 27th, along with my pre-approval notice from my surgeon's office and insurance (Dr. Posner in Buffalo, NY). Just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect after the seminar? Generally how long will it take from the seminar date until I get the surgery? And what will happen as far as appointments and such from here on in? I know it's probably different for everyone based on if and how much weight I need to loose prior to having surgery, but just a rough estimate to give me a good idea of a time frame would be greatly appreciated. Also, my biggest concern is excess skin. I am still quite young (only 23) so my skin probably has some decent elasticity left. I am worried however that I will have crazy excess skin. Any tips to avoid this prior and post surgery? Thanks in advance!
