Good for you guys! I'm so excited about my breast reduction! I should be a lot further with this, but I had my first surgeon screw things up for me! and I had to have a revision. But the first surgeon wouldn't do it so I had to find another one. But I'm just excited to have all that behind me and moving on! My Dr. said she could do it for me, however, after we were talking I think I need a lower body lift so I went to see Dr. Bonness! She's nice I like her.  Glad things are going well for you ladies!

     I did!  I did!  And I'm still here.  Mine has all been done in Marshfield at St. Joseph's.  My surgeon is Dr. Kathleen Meyer.  She's with Marshfield Clinic.  She did my breast reduction and panniculectomy.  And *when* I get them approved, she'll do my arms and thighs.

Hello! I'm not coming here to bash any Dr's. However, I went with Dr. Chua for a VBG..its a perment band and that was 7 yrs ago and I had major problems! I ended up having to search for another surgeon because when I went to him to inform him everything I ate I was throwing up and gaining weight back because only things that wouldn't get stuck were things I shouldn't be eatting he told me to basically work it out!  I found another surgeon Dr. Brenda Satchie at St. Lukes who had to do a revision and now my pouch is 3 cm small lwhen the average size is 5cm.  Just when you see him keep an open mind and you stay strong with what you want! I originally wanted the gastric bypass and he talked me out of it. And now I'm 1 yr post op and down 107 pounds!  And I'm not throwing up at all! I feel much better! Just wanted to give you heads up about Chua!

Who's the surgeons over there?

Absolutely not.  I would only go to a Bariatric Center of Excellence.
