Plastic Surgery

Hey guys, Its been so long since I had a chance to check in. My life has been full throdle since surgery. I'm down to 186 pounds, 39 % body fat. I've lost 129 ponds since my surgery 6/29/04. I had a sluggish period I cured with subligual B12. The hair loss was short spanned thank God. I have issues with the extra skin more than anything. I've been thinking about consulting a plastic surgeon, but I know its too early. I'm only 8 months out and down 130 pounds, I figured this to be my total loss, not just 8 months out. I'm not complaining, believe me! Anyone have any or have been given any good advise to plastic surgery after WLS? Gotta run for now, it's non stop! lol Take care all! You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Ang

" THIS IS FROM A PREVIOUS POST...THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO READ" Karen When I went in for my last check up my doctor told me to go ahead and start checking into finding a doctor for TT surgery...Sooooooooooooo..... I know I am only 8 months out but my doctor seems to think I will only lose another 10-15 pounds. For these of you who are on Tenn-Care Select, I have found a doctor in Davidson **** who will take our insurance for TT. Of course the surgery must be for medical reasons, but give it a try......Dr. Patikes or Dr. Hueneke... the phone number is 615-327-0303. The lady which answered the phone was very nice. So I go April 5 and will soon find out if I can get anything done. Wish me luck. I started at 288, down to 153 and would like to end up 135-140. This whole thing has been like a dream, a good one at that. Because I have done so well, my husband now has an appointment with my doctor for gastric surgery and will see her the same day I see about TT. So it should not be too long before he will be down to a nice size also. Good luck to all and give the doctor a call. The sooner the better. Karen RNY6-30/288-151-145 soon

Good Luck! My Dr. wants me to weight until I have no weight loss for a couple of months before I have a consult. Courtney 5'9" 300/184/165? might go for 145
