PS Info Requested

Hi! I'm from Indianapolis. I'm checking into different plastic surgeons, as I'm planning to have PS ~August/September of this year. I don't expect my insurance to pay anything so I decided to start checking out of state as well as here at home. If you know something about any of the Ohio plastic surgeons, please drop me a line. I'm looking for one who considers this a reconstructive surgery, not cosmetic...and one who is experienced at doing the full body lifts. Around here, they have gotten into telling everyone that they don't need the full body lift rather than saying that they aren't comfortable doing them. Those closet to the Indiana border would be a plus! Thanks in advance!! Sherri

Sorry I don't have any doc info here in Dayton you can't even get them to try for insurance. ANYWAY you might wnat to post on the PS board also http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/posts.html Good Luck, Robin

Sherri, I highly recommend Dr. Kurtis Martin: http://www.cincinnatiplasticsurgery.com/ He has lots of experience with surgical weight loss patients, and is a great guy to boot. Dr. C Cincinnati, Ohio Got a question? Ask the doctor at www.TheBandDoctor.com 877.442.BAND DISCLAIMER: I am not your surgeon, any comments made by me are not meant to be taken as medical advice, just general guidelines. Contact your surgeon about your specific problem!

Dr. C, Thank you. I had the opportunity to go to two of Dr. Martin's sessions during the Lexi conference and was very much so impressed. I had forgotten that he was from Cincinnati. I will definately check into going there. Thanks again.... Sherri

Sherri, Dr. Kurtis Martin has done all of my plastic surgery. He is a true artist ! He is very familiar with bariatric patients and their excess skin issues. I am amazed daily that the person I see in the mirror is me! His entire staff are great as well. I travel nearly 3 hours to go to him, and he is so worth it! You would NOT regret having him for your surgeon. Great Doctor and he has a great sense of humor also. I feel very comfortable with him. If you have any questions, just email me. My email is [email protected] I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have. Best of luck with whomever you choose. Mary
