Anyone with PS recommendation??

With one year fast approaching...I am starting to ponder the idea of plastic surgery. My breasts were never big even at 243 pounds I was just a B so you can only imagine now. And my thighs are just a wreck. Even though I exercise all the time and my muscle tone is excellent the skin covering them is starting to look like a sharpei! I plan to spend the summer in capri pants and tank tops! I am a pear thru and thru!! Anyway...I really don't even know where to start so I thought I would ask my fellow North Carolinians if they have any thoughts...I am willing to travel about an hour or so and I am in Greensboro. Thanks...Jen

You have an excellent resource right in greensboro expecially for thighs. Dr. Trusdale (sp?) he works out of moses cone. Toni Open DS 20 April 2004 Torsoplasty 9 Jan 2006 285/129/132

Thanks Toni Now that you mentioned him name I remember that a girl at work use to work part time for him. I knew if I came here I could find the help I needed!!!! Thanks again

I think breast augmentation is a very personal choice. I would say for most women it is just serving their vanity in the same way that men worry about going bald and wear toupeis(sp?) and have hair implants. I would say that it is a hard choice to make and you need to really think about it before you decide. Either way make sure you do it for YOU and not for what other people might think. It never ceases to amaze me how women act like it infuriates them if a man gets caught looking at their cleavage yet they all way to make their cleavage even more noticable? That just doesnt make sense to me. I think maybe the decision to have WLS falls into two catagories. There are those who do it to live and regain their health and there are those who do it to feel better about themselves. I am doing this 100% for my health. The rest is just icing on the cake so to speak. If my belly hangs down a lot after I have WLS I would consider having it removed. If I developed a large bald spot, I would just shave my head. I have never considered what others thought of me to be of any importance whatsoever.

Maybe some women have it done for vanity reasons but I disagree that most have it done for that reason there are other factors of why. but also wanted to thank you for the post, made me laugh, the first two paragraphs. G

Wow...I didn't mean to offend anyone!! It is of course a personal choice. I wasn't really asking if you thought I should have plastic surgery I was asking if anyone had any experience with plastic surgereons in the area.

I have heard that there is a good surgeon in Charlotte but sorry - I don't know his name. Good Luck However! And I agree you were not asking for our opinions just need a surgeon. Donna

I have scheduled with a great plastic surgeon in Greenville. Dr. Rezutti, I found him to be very professional and very supportive with WLS. He quoted a good price and answered ALL my questions (and I had alot!) I agree that PS is a personal choice, and I also believe that boobs is part of what makes me a woman and I have come this far baby.....I'm gonna have boobs and I am gonna be proud of them! Later and lots of love! Pam 247/140/137 (but I'm sure after my new boobs, I'll be right back to 140 haha)

Can I ask you what you are having done? ANd how much the cost is? Is INsurance covering any of it? I live in Jacksonville. And I KNOW what PS I want... but $$ is the issue. THANKS!!!

Sabrina, You have mail Pam
