Update & ? on Louisville Plastic Surgeons

Hello all, It's been a very long time since I've posted. I'm now 9 months out - minus 136/138 pounds (depending on the day). I'm at Dr. Geller's goal weight for me but I have another 11 pounds for MY goal weight (to be within normal BMI). I went from 313 on June 25, 2003 to 176 today! From size 26 (3x) to size 12/14 and med/lg. It's great! No problems except the "honeymoon period" is definitely over and it's a struggle some days to watch what I eat. I can eat more than 2 oz a meal and I can eat sugar without dumping -bad, bad for me. I haven't ever gained any weight but getting that last few pounds to come off is a killer. (Long way around to my question). I know we shouldn't consider any plastic surgery for at least 18 mos - 2 years after surgery, but I want to get a jump on this because this saggy skin is starting to get on my nerves. I want the tummy tuck and something done to my thighs/upper arms. A big thing I want done is breast implants (most people need lifts after this surgery - mine disappeared!!!) I know of no one who has had any of this done. If you are in the Louisville area or have any information on Louisville surgeons, please pass it on. Also, if you've had any of these surgeries after WLS (even if you're NOT in the Louisville area) please share your experience with me. This is a big decision and I want to check into everything before actually having surgery next year. Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Laurie

Breasts are special. There is a Dr. Teresa LeVan at Bluegrass Plastic Surgery on Nicholasville Rd., Lexington, KY (85 mi from Lou) who does volumes of breast lifts, implants with great results. Good luck, Galpal. Sparkle
