I have been researching ps docs and he seems to specialize in bariatric/extreme weight loss patients. I figure I will be self pay, so find one that has this expertise.

Also anyone over 60 planning ps?

Anyone have this doc or know of him?

a lot of people here and on other WLS surgeons have used him. He's very, very well-known in the bariatric community and well-respected to boot!

Thank you very much.

I should add that I haven't had plastic surgery yet, but if/when I do, he's definitely on my "short list". He's supposedly one of the best in the country.

I am just beginning - wlsurgery is 5 months away, but I am a bit of a research junkie! I like knowing as much as possible about where I am headed. I did the same with batiatric options. My ins doesn't have an in-network surgeon within 60 miles so I asked to be referred to an out-of-network one and they will cover it as soon as I jump through all the program hoops. I could have driven 147mi to in-network one and my PCP said that is where she refers to - but I said NO. I am going to the surgeon I want that is closer, they don't make you take a year to go through the program and they are way more respectful.
