Topic: New and NEED Information
Hello everyone. I am new to OH and I need some information. I am nowhere close to WLS because my wonderful HealthChoice won't pay no matter how much I would benefit from surgery.
What I need right now is a panniculectomy - I have an extremely saggy tummy and major spinal issues that make this a medical necessity. I have been searching the internet for information on surgeons in the OKC area who perform this procedure but I am coming up empty.
I have found tons of surgeons who do the TT procedure but none that list panniculectomy as a procedure that they include. Has anyone had this procedure and, if so, do you know a good and kind plastic surgeon?
Thanks for your help!

Topic: RE: Almost 4 years out. Need jump start help.
Have you seen Dr.Broussard in a while? I am pre-op, but I know they do some kind of restart plan at Weight Wise to get you back on track. It is for people who are post op that are starting to have trouble with regain. Might be worth checking into ! Sorry that Im not more help. I am having VSG in May with Dr.WAlton. Good luck ! I know you can get back on track !!
