??? about plastics

Hey All Happy Friday,

I live in Flint and I am looking for a good plastic surgeon.  I need a major tummy tuck as I have lost  230 lbs.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

thanks in advance

I just had my first appointment with "Dr. Al" . . I have his full name and number at home I will send it to you tomorrow, I'm not at home this evening. 
I was unsure about him but my first visit was great . . I should be scheduled for the end of September. 

I got his name and number from Hurley, they said he does a lot of bypass people.  I had my surgery at Henry Ford but they no longer use my insurance so I had to find a new surgeon.

I'm not in the Flint area, but the way I chose my doctor was.

1.  Found ones that participate with my insurance - from that list I
2.  Found ones that perform surgeries at the facility I wanted to go to - from that list
3.  Found one that was female.  Then I
4.  Made sure she was board certified.

I also work for an insurance company in the provider area, so I was familiar with her office staff and liked them.  When I called to talk to them about some questions I had when I was going through open enrollment, they were great and answered all my questions, even though I wasn't ready for the abdominalplasty.

Piggy-Back Question:


Can any Plastic Surgeon do our surgery, or do we need to be looking for someone who specializes in Bariatric patients??

thanks
