I lost all respect for Dr. Now when Skin Tight started airing and he started billing himself as a plastic surgeon. You are either a bariatric surgeon or plastic surgeon. In all of my research of both (and I did a lot) I never heard of any reputable surgeon claiming to specialize in both. To anyone cosidering plastics, DO NOT go to anyone who claims to specialize in anything other that plastic surgery! It is a HIGHLY specialized field and deserves a surgeon's full focus and attention. Would you go to an orthopedic surgeon for a heart transplant?

Some bariatric surgeons do remove aprons but just for mobility reasons. He is doing way more than a bariatric surgeon should be doing. At first I thought someone else was doing the surgeries with him but that doesn't seem to be the case.

@@sassyfrass23 Dr. Now is doing pretty much all the plastics except for breast implants. I believe he sends them to the wonder twins.

Oh and they end up sending some patients to Dr. Now because he is better with varicose veins and other things.

They've shown him doing lower body lifts, tummy tucks, arm lifts, back lifts, and thigh lifts. And he's been the one actually performing the surgeries. They show him cutting and stitching in the OR.

Wow. Apparently I have not seen any of the episodes where those surgeries were performed. That's shocking.

It's a separate show called Skin Tight. It's about people who have lost a lot of weight having skin removal surgery.

Ahhh...that makes sense. I haven't watched any of the Skin Tight episodes yet.

They are educational in everything wrong to do with plastic surgery.

They can also make you feel better. People say it you lose weight "slowly" and do it the "right way" with diet, exercise and hard work. you don't end up with loose skin. Well almost all these people did it the long and hard way, most taking 3-5 year to lose the weight and they have as much if not more loose skin than WLS patients.

The wonder twins as someone called them are terrible, they would be sued, put people are getting free surgery so they are going to Dr Now to get Fixed. Like that is how bad they are. They are plastic surgeons and they botch it so bad that people go to Dr Now to be repaired. Mind blown? Yeah so are the rest of us.

It is a train wreck of epic proportions, add it to the DVR.

It really is sad. Because plastics can be AMAZING and have amazing long term results. The doctors on that show are just TERRIBLE. If I see one more Tummy Tuck without a muscle repair, I think I'm just going to have to give up on the show altogether. I feel bad for the patients. I know they are getting extensive plastic surgery for free, but the revisions they will need down the line make it so not worth it. They'd be better off saving up for a couple of years, going to a decent surgeon, and saving themselves additional surgeries in the future.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
