Don't know where to start looking for body contouring consults



Recommended Posts

I live in Fl but had my sleeve surgery in Texas almost a year ago. I am almost at goal, within 10-20 pounds (my goal) probably closer to 10 but I am always over-zealous. I am not opposed to going out of state but prefer not to. After seeing results for Dr. Capella in NJ, I cant imagine much better results. I need Tummy Tuck, inner thigh lift, butt lift and neck lift, & least priority is boob lift. (Actually I am torn as to whether I should do face/neck first because it really bothers me). I'm looking at maybe the fall or winter time 2015. Where do I start? I do have Medicare but was selfpay for my sleeve. I dont put hope in medicare...still, I will be financing most likely. I really have thought about Mexico but I am just not sure. My husband wasn't comfortable with me going there for the vsg and I doubt he will be any more reassured for plastics. I appreciate any suggestions.

Do what bothers you the most first.

Wow, I am so thrilled that I had my face done with a facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Winslow did an amazing job, so much more than I ever could have dared to hope for. She made my dreams come true.

Search REALLY HARD for someone to do your face. Everything little thing is noticeable on the face. There is a whole bunch of mediocrity out there. And some bad stuff, too.

I am actually ready to get my face and neck done now. I can wait on the rest and disguise some of it but my face looks like I have a very real turkey gobbler and Austin Powers vag*na neck....I look older than I am because the overall skin on my face is sagging.... anyone who I could go to who would eventually do my other work, might be worthwhile if I can come up with the facelift/necklift cost. I guess I could stay in Florida for the face/neck...as I dont have a ton of money for travel just yet.

Thanks for help. SUGGESTIONS? Ideas on cost of just the face/neck would be helpful. :)

I had a lot done so I am not sure how much just my facelift was, I think maybe 6k.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
