Well, the residents are already doctors and skilled surgeons.  It is not like I will be the first person they have ever cut into, they are just going into the field of plastics.  Plastic surgeons need to learn too!  They are under the guidance of a very skilled plastic surgeon who will help them through the process - they are not going to let you come out botched!!  (by the way - I get what you are saying - I have seen photos of people who had their RNY surgeon do their plastics and they come out looking like frankenstein - I feel like at least with the residents, their goal is to do as good as they can) The price savings compared to a regular plastic surgeon are huge and when it comes down to it, cost matters to me.

I have read about it and seen photos and have been impressed by the results people have gotten going through resident programs.  There are many, so when I get to that point I will be visiting Boston, Connecticut, and the Brown program in RI to see the costs.

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

This is a great site. If you can take a moment to check it out, you will find so much information there!

There's even a fun section to play a daily crossword puzzle and arcades!

If the Sunday chatroom time didn't interupt my football games, I'd check it out!

Who couldn't use the extra support, right?

Let us all know what you think of it!

Jules

Hey!

I've heard the RI Hospital has such a program.

I've considered it myself.

They may not have the experience of a seasoned surgeon but they do have to have certain qualifications to even get to perform surgery and they know the most up-to-date skills. And they are under a seasoned surgeons guidance during the whole process. Also, our seasoned surgeons had to start somewhere, right?

That's my take on the whole thing.

Jules

BTW....Rhody, you're hilarious!
