Perfection is overrated when you are working on simply enjoying life’s journey. Take a deep breath every so often, just to be able to absorb the aromas of life. With flowers in bloom, so too is your soul. Allow it to shine brightly, as you will continue to be a beacon of light, love & hope for others. Act on your inspirational thoughts! Show the world that you are a positive force!

Topic: Looking for a reputable doctor for abdominal skin reduction.

Hi all. I live in Western Suffolk (Hauppage-NY.) I'm down to my goal weight and though I've done every conceivable exercise, can not lose the excess skin on my abdomin. It's very discouraging. I have saved up $ for plastic surgery, but have no idea what Dr. to use. Please help. Suggestions??

Best thing to do is call them. Once you've got them on the phone ask them about all of their pre-op requirements. You don't want to find out the hard way that you missed something.
