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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
