needing advice

Can any of u suggest a great plastic surgeon?  I needed a TT and back skin removed.  I would like to have someone do this thats done alot of surgerys on bariatric patients.  Im willing to go anywhere in the US.  Im not up to traveling outside the US.  Thanks for any help u can give me.

 

 

I would try the "find a surgeon" portion of this website and see who's close or within reach to you. Then, you should be able to fnd members that have used them and get their opinions.  I was fortunate and my bariatric surgeon did mine, but I would recommend this route.  Good Luck!

hmmm just for the record Im researching out surgeons so Im not stupid.  I have done what u have suggested first.  I just know for 2 yrs all I did was come to the Indiana board..and no where else.  So I know there are smart ppl that have lots of information to share that wouldnt be on that board.  So I was just asking around.  

I have receive tons of private messages with lots of info...so I'll be checking them out.  

Thank you to all that helped me out.

Good luck in your search. I'm glad there were others to offer up suggestions. I never meant to imply you were stupid or hadn't done any homework on this. There are plenty of people I've  encountered, though, who have not done anything and rely on others to do the work for them. I hope you find a great one and let us know how it all goes!

Thanks.  sorry if I was rude.  Im home sick and irritable.  I over reacted.  

No worries!  We all have moments! It takes more than that to offend me!  I am genuinely concerned and optimistic you will find a great surgeon.  Word of mouth seems to be my best source. There's also a website www.heathgrades.com where you can check out physicians and get opinions from others as well. I use it when I am sent to a strange doctor. Just makes me feel a little more comfortable with them.  Good luck, Mariah! It's all worth the work!

Hi Mariah:  I don't know how far you would consider traveling, but Dr David Janssen in Oshkosh, WI is absolutely wonderful.  I know people come from all over the country to see him.  I know two people who have come from California, and one from New York to have surgery by this physician.  I have had some surgery by him also.  Not only is he a wonderful surgeon, he is extremely kind and very easy to talk to.  He never makes you feel "hurried", and he is willing to answer all your questions.  His staff is also wonderful.  The follow up program is very organized.  I can't say enough good things about this physician.  He is truly a class act.  Good luck in your search.

I would suggest Dr. Doermann at www.ah.com.   He is listed in Milwaukee's top doctors which is a really prestigious award.  He works out of Community Memorial hospital in Menomonee Falls, WI which is a wonderful hospital.  Good luck, Daisy

Thank you for the helpful information Daisy.  Your the best
