Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
Hello.....you will get lots and lots of different answers here with this subject. I had a LBL done almost 3 yrs ago. I paid out of pocket over $13,000. I had it done here in the Fort Worth area. I am NOT pleased with my results ( due to the surgeon not removing enough skin and not doing the procedure that I had researched for a year and wanted ). When the time comes for you to have PS done....make sure you use a doctor that you have seen and heard has great results from"WLS" patients. It is DIFFERENT with our results from "regular people".

Yes......I would Gina. If you want a good one go see Dr. Scott Kasden in Southlake. He is excellent. I should have ran for the hills when he refused to do the anchor cut with my LBL...I can grab excess skin everywhere and when I lean over a HUGE amount of skin comes forward. BTW...all I ever wanted was a FLAT TUMMY. Mine is just as round as round can be. Not happy at all. When anyone asks me what I think of him....he is a great person, good surgeon...just WAAAAAYYYYY too conservative when it comes to skin removal on a WLS patient. Ask Gaye....I am sure she will say the same thing to you. I know others feel this way as I do that has used him.

VIV-Dr. Kasden is already on my 'SHORT LIST' of PS surgeons-not that I'd ever have the financial resources anyway..but I never say "never", amd always try to keep my options open. Thank you for your honest input-I value your opinion.
