Plasitcs in TJ, need opinions

I just got laid-off and i am thinking about taking advantage of this time off and getting a LBL. For cost reasons and lack of a job, i am thinking of going to Cosmed in TJ. I am going to keep my insurance and pay the COBRA fees, but my insurance wont cover plastics. I would love to talk to someone who went there and learn about their experience. Can i do it alone, or should i bring someone? I can bring my boyfriend, but if he takes off work he doesnt get paid, so i would like to limit his time there. Thanks.

I've heard wonderful things about Cosmed. We have a plastics board on OH you might want to check out if you haven't and repost this message: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/ As for alone... I went down for 9 days and had open RNY alone (had a private nurse visit for a few days) but I understand that plastics are more painful. I think I would (will) have someone with for those. ~Michelle

I have heard Dr. A. Quiroz is wonderful...not first hand, but I have heard good things. His number is 619-428-4803.
