Hi!! I had vsg Jan 5 2015 and went from 274 down to 140 in about 10-11 months. After I had vsg (my surgery went well and my dr was great) my body went crazy I ended up with a pic line in my arm and a feeding tube for about four months before it fell out. So that's a reason why I lose it so rapidly and causing a great deal of excess skin. Fast forward to two years later I'm ready for the next step. Plastics surgery! This is harder than deciding wls lol. I don't know where to start. With wls my insurance had a program with a guide. I'm on my on now. So looking for some starting points and help. Connecting with people who had plastic surgery and sharing your experience with me. I'm even considering Dominican Republic. But want some insight..

Thank you!

Get a few consults from PS that specialize in after weight loss

I agree with Stella. See a PS that is both Board Certified in Plastics and specializes in patience with extreme weight loss.

I went to four different plastic surgeons in my home town. I got quotes and each surgeon explained what they'd be doing, how long it would take, their feelings on pain management, and their bedside manner. I chose the surgeon who I felt most comfortable with and who made the most sense to me. Very happy with my plastic surgeon.

Good for you!!!! Good luck with your plastics. I've completed my LBL and couldn't be happier with the results. 2nd and final procedure coming up vertical thigh & under arm/back fat excision.

Good luck with your procedures!!!!
