plastic surgery consult scheduled

Hi all, I have lost 148 pounds since surgery in Feb of 2003. I am scheduled for a consultation August 31 with the plastic surgeon Dr Rosen at Dartmoth Hitch**** in Lebonon nh. I am at 155 pounds and am hoping to lose a bit more befor surgery. I am hoping to have a tummy tuck, breast lift and my arms done . Does anyone have any info that may be of some help to me? There dosnt seem to be many people to of had this done yet. Im currious about insurance approvals, having all procedures done at the same time, info about the Dr. recovery time, how soon after the consult will the surgerys take place, ect. Thank you

Hi Lori, Sorry, I can not give you any information on the surgery, because I have not had my weight loss surgery yet. But, I was wondering what the extra skin condition was like. Is it so bad that you don't want anyone to see your body? Can you wear shorts etc. Do you think that you will look better after the surgery? Will they do all of the procedures at one time? Wouldn't you be to sore to move if they did that? Keep us informed as to what it is like. Chris

Lori..check out the plastic surgery forum. I also think there is info in the Library on PS. If this doesn't answer your questions, go to the Q&A Postings. All are located in the menu at the top of the page. Good luck..MJ
