Hi All,
I'm looking for a plastic surgeon to consult about getting a belt lipectomy/lower body lift now that I am almost three years out from having a gastric bypass. Does anyone have any experience with the proceedure or have any good information about a potential plastic surgeon that I can use? I live in Duluth but can travel to the Twin Cities or surrounding area if I can find a good surgeon.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Honey - the befores and afters were amazing- Great!
Was it very expensive? I am thinking about it- how long was the recovery time?

Thanks!

If I remember right, it was around $15k.

I had the surgery on December 15th and went back to work on January 2nd.  The only bad thing was I still had my drains in, but I was able to "hide" them.  One drain came out on the 3rd, and the second one was about 3 days later.  So, I would allow 3 weeks minimum.  I heal quickly and have a high pain tolerance.   A lot of people just say 6 weeks for recovery because it really is that long before you can resume a lot of activities.

Good luck!
