I lost 150 pound from RNY surgery.  I have a lot of hanging skin.  I would like to have a lower body lift, and  arm lift for sure.  I may have a thight lift and breast lift also.  I would like to start having surgury  this May.

I plan on getting consults from Dr. Tholen and Dr. Fasching.   I have heard that both have experience working with Wt. loss pt. Since I have not gone to either of them I can't help you much with advice. 

Good luck on your journey.  brenda

I actually went to 4 different consults.

Dr. Michael Fasching - loved him, but he wouldn't submit to insurance for an arm lift so I had to go elsewhere

Dr. Lacey (in Woodbury) - liked the office, he seemed very nice, they also wouldn't submit to insurance for brachioplasty

Dr. Thao ( in Oakdale) - I really liked him, all of the staff was really nice. Only think I didn't like about him was that he kind of wanted to take his own path of what I should get done. For example, I went in to talk about an arm lift and he thought I should get a breast reduction first, but never asked me what I wanted done more.

Dr. Adam Lokeh - I really liked him, he is submits to insurance and has had RNY himself so he knows the struggles many have with extra skin etc. He is actually doing my brachioplasty Feb 8, 2010.

Those are 4 I went to, I do suggest making a few different appts with different surgeons, it is amazing how different they all are.

I had a LBL and BL with Dr. Fasching at the beginning on December.  I am very happy with the results thus far.
