Hi Holly

I used Dr Nuveen in OKC for my TT & Upper Arm lift and paid out of pocket to the tune of 13k.

I am having a breast reduction on 20 Aug and TriCare is paying for it, so I have to use a in netwrok PS.  I am using Dr Hayhurst and he told me that he could of done all I had done for about 1/2 of what I paid. He is super nice (an way older guy/old school) and his staff is very accomidating.

I know the Dr W does some PS, but I have no clue what or how much. I have met him (at his support group in Lawton) and he seems like a very nice and caring man & all his patients just love him.

I would def say shop around if you are self pay. I went to 3 different PS's before I picked Dr Nuveen.

Good Luck

I am so excited for you.  Hope you had a good consult with Dr. Sawan,  I think that he is pretty awesome at what he does and every thing should go great for you.  I will be honest the first week will be a little painful and don't try to be tough and use the good stuff they will give you for pain and the next thing you know there will be no pain.  The next thing to get used to will not being able to stand up straight for a few weeks while eveything moves to its new place of business.  So congrats on your new journey!!!  If you think of any questions that I can answer let me know and I will try.

Russell

P.S. How is your husband doing with his sleeve,  Hope its all good.

Topic: Plastic Surgery

I am almost 2 1/2 years post RNY and in major need of PS. I know I look nothing like I did before surgey but seeing all the saggy skin is still depressing. :/ I'm only 24 and should not have saggy skin! And I dont think I'll be happy until I get rid of it!! My doctor (Dr. Warnock) said to come back and see him, but I know insurance won't pay for any portion of a body lift.

Anyone had PS done by Dr. Warnock out of Wichita Falls??

Is it affordable w/o the help of insurance?

Trying to determine my next move...THANKS! Any suggestions are MUCH appreciated! :)

I am not familiar with him or his pratice, but I think you should call the office and ask him to call you. I would let him know of her behavior and that you did not appreciate her attitude.

I dont blame you for not wanting to deal with the PA, it is unwanted/needed drama, and you are the customer right?!

How exciting for you!

I didn't have the 360, I had a maxi tt and my arms done at the same time. I was down a good week, but by week 2 I was back to doing my daily stuff...like cleaning 2 weeks worth since my family are slobs! lol

I am goin in for my last PS on the 20th of this month and I am supper excited that I will no longer have tube sox boobies!

I had heard the Dr. Sawan will tell you straight up if he thinks you need to lose more weight.  I honestly forgot to ask him but he didn't tell me I needed to lose anymore.  I had two previous consultations with other surgeons that both told me I don't need to lose anymore because I won't lose it where I need to lose it and that what I have needs to be cut off.   I was told my skin could weigh up to 15 lbs.  I would like to end up at 150....144 would be a dream.  I am 163 now so I am going to work on getting 5 to 10 lbs off before October 28th when my surgery is.  No guidelines for between now and surgery.

HEY LADY!!!

I am soooo excited for you!!!! I don't have any PS stories... yet, but plan to get with Dr. Sawan in the near future and will hopefully have the 360 sometime in the spring...

I have a couple of questions for you though... Does he require wt maint for any length of time prior to operation? How far are you from your final goal? What kind of guidelines did he give you between now and the time of your operation?

I am just starting to think about PS and can't WAIT to get rid of this burlap bag hanging around my waist! 

Best of luck to you! Keep in touch!

I had my appt with Dr. Sawan and love him and the office staff.  I have a body lift 360 scheduled for October 28th in Edmond at the weight wise hospital...summit now I think.   Anyway, for those of you that have been down this road please tell me how long it took you to bounce back.  I am really active and don't want to have too much down time because I worry that I will start eating again.  He said he thought I could go back to work half days or light duty by week three.  I think Russell said that is what he did too.

Plastic surgery people please tell me your story!!!
