Plastic Consultation...

Hi all...haven't posted in a while, but been lookin' in on y'all! Shel T CONGRATS!!!! I am excited for you! I LOVE being pregnant, but it was dangerous for me when I was so heavy! I pray you have a great experience! I have a consultation with a plastic surgeon on Feb 9th about my breasts, my tummy and my thighs. I am looking at a breast reduction, a tummy something (I have soooo much excess skin they will have to take A LOT away before they can do a tummy tuck) and then I would like my thighs worked on. The nurse believes that my breasts and tummy will be partially paid for by insurance and that my thighs will be out of pocket...we will see. Does any one have a list of questions that they asked their plastic surgeon? Please share, if you do...or if you have any suggestions on what I should ask. A friend of mine who is a surgical nurse suggested that I ask how many RNY patients this surgeon has done, and to see before/after pics of them before deciding using him. I am also going to have my RNY surgeon refer me to one or two that he knows...so, I will have a few choices to pick from. Anyway...just wanted to get y'all's opinion! TIA! ~~emily http://www.emmyjmommy.blogspot.com

Hi, I've been thinking about a tummy tuck and to lift the girls up. I don't want any implants or anything, just to bring whatever is left up some. I'm afraid but what the heck , I was afraid to do this. I heard that sometimes a tummy tuck could be covered. I'm hoping. After my next appointment with my surgeon, which is in March, I will start to check it out. Good Luck with your appointment. Also check your STATE board and see if anyone there had it done and who they had. Koukla
