Surgeon recomendations in san diego??



Recommended Posts

I just got a referral to talk to a plastic surgeon to get my saggy stomach skin removed. I have been told by a few people that some surgeons word it so that insurance will cover everything. Anyway Im hoping that i can find one in San Diego that is really good. I kind of need everything fixed as i lost 100 lbs everything is saggy and grows. and other tips would be great.

TIA

What I have found is that they would only pay solely for the panniculectomy. Unless you’re paying for some extra out of pocket it’s just removing the extra apron type skin. I am getting a full lower body lift in Mexico in about a week. It’s includes the Tummy Tuck and muscle repair and the extras to make it look really nice. The insurance looks to fix the immediate problem, hangy skin they don’t care about the aesthetic part because that is cosmetic and not medical in nature. I hope this helps.

Generally less than the u s and definitely less than California. I’ve seen body lifts go for as much as 50k in the u s and as little as 5 k in Mexico. Do you research and ask a lot of questions.

      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.

      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!
