What to ask at consult?



Recommended Posts

So I have my first plastics consult next Monday... I have no idea what questions I should be asking the surgeon? I have never had any plastic surgery before and frankly don't know anything about it. I would like to get a breast lift and augmentation, arms, possibly a Tummy Tuck and maybe lower body lift. So if anyone can help me compile a list of questions or concerns I should bring up please help!!!

Just because someone is a plastic surgeon doesn't mean they have experience with WLS patients. Make sure to ask. I'm going to post a link from a girl on YouTube who shared her journey, you can find a lot of her videos. Most people have success. My friend had to have two separate surgeries because I think total operating time was longer than 8 hours...she said that healing in her thigh lift hurt the most, God Bless!!!

Went to my consult with a plastic surgeon who comes highly recommended. Also my sister and nephew used him. He deals with alot of weightloss patients as well. He quoted me $18220 for a Tummy Tuck, arm lift, breast lift and augmentation along with removal of extra skin from the sides of my boobs( used to be fat on the sides of the boobs, where the bra band goes) so now I just have to see if I can come up with all that money....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
