Another PS question...

Ok...so obviously I'm not looking to have any PS right away but do desperately want/need a tummy tuck sometime next year to rid myself of this excess skin that I've been hanging on to for 3.5 years.  Most likely I'll have to finance it as I don't own a house and don't make the $$ to pay up front.  Anyway who do you recommend in the north cali area (Modesto/Bay Area/Sacramento) for a tummy tuck (likely a bidirectional one)?  And how much did it cost?

I can deal with the boobs for now with wearing a good bra but I'm sooo tired of having to wear a girdle daily just to look decent in a pair of jeans & tshirt so the belly skin has GOT TO GO!

Thanks.

The only Plastic Surgeon I trust is Dr. Eric Mariotti in Concord.  I have had my arms, tummy, butt and boobs done by him and my results have been so much better than I ever imagined I could look.  My insurance paid for my tummy tuck 3 years ago and I do not remember what the cost was but you can come in for a free consultation.
Dr. Mariotti will also be at the OH event in Sacramento on the weekend of Aug. 23 -24 and will be doing consults there as well.

I completely agree, Eric Mariotti is the best there is.  He focuses alot of his practice on skin removal after weight loss.  He spends time getting to know his patients and enjoys the time he spends with us.  I had my tummy and arms done at the same time and the total cost was $15,000.00.  I do not remember what the break down was for each procedure.  Dr. Mariotti is an artist in the OR and every wls patient I have talked to of his is thrilled with the results they received.
Good luck

Hey Kristy....you know my friend used Scott Mosser in SF....he did a great job on her and......I actually saw him for a consult....neat guy....if I could do the flying and recovering thing....I think I would have used him!
