(I tried posting this in the plastic surgery section but it didn't give me permission so I am posting this question here, I hope that's OK)

I have two questions:

1. I am looking for a good plastic surgeon in the Midwest. I am having a hard time finding someone who really specializes in plastic surgery after massive weight loss. I looked on real self.com but could only find regular plastic surgeons and not one to really specialize in huge body reconstruction.

2. I understand that the likelihood of getting plastic surgery covered by insurance is minimal. I know that the cost out-of-pocket will be expensive but what worries me even more is if there are complications, that would probably be very costly and insurance would probably not cover those complications right? I don't know what the incidence is of complications but I know that there is always a chance. Has anyone had problems with complications and self-pay?

Try Summit hospital in Edmond Oklahoma. They are the best bariatric center ever. Go to Weightwise.com to find a number. They have their own plastic dept and everyone there treats you like royalty

Thanks,
