Hi everyone, my surgery date is dec. 30th. I figure it'll take me at least a yr before I get to my goal weight, but does anyone have experience getting plastic surgery in LI, NY, I looked into Dr. Romenelli ya know "mommy makeover" guy???

My advice - don't worry about plastics yet.

When you get there, go out to realself.com and read actual customer reviews and their photos. Surgeons tend to "cherry pick" their before and afters...it is good to get the real deal from patients. Consult with at least 3 surgeons.. I was truly shocked at how much their recommendations varied.. it was very educational.

Thank you @@CowgirlJane! Great advice! I know it's hard for me to stay in the moment lol

Who is doing your surgery? Are you having it done on Long Island? I just had mine 9/22 at Huntington Hospital.

Brookhaven bariatric, Dr. Anoosh so yes getting it done on LI and in Brookhaven hospital hope you are feeling well!!!

I am an old Long Island Girl living in FL now. Sleeved in FL on Sept. 10th. Good to see you are going for bariatric surgery. I have cousins on L.I. who are interested in my operation. I will tell them about Brookhaven. I don't know if they will ever do it. It it is not for everyone. Wishing you good health and great happiness.

Kymmy.. I can't see your stats on my phone but plastics after massive weight loss is not the same as a typical mommy makeover. Be sure to look at before and afters of people of similar situation as you. I had lost 150 or so when I did plastics.

I do believe strongly in my original advice... stay focused on getting healthy and losing the weight first. That's quite a wild ride in and of itself.

@@CowgirlJane, thank you , great advice! I'm hoping my insurance will cover the tummy tuck them I'll just have to worry about the rest on my dime, but you're right, first things first thank you again!
