Well, after going on 4 different consultations I have finally picked the best plastic surgeon for me. I am now scheduled for a lower body life and breast lift on January 7th...YIPPI, a year to the day of my lap band surgery....If someone had said to me a year ago, I would be having plastic surgery I would have said NO WAY, but yes, Im sooooo excited and can't wait...Im using Dr. Capella in Ramsey New Jersey, I found him to be the most experienced with this type of surgery. I found him through a new friend from this web-site( thanks so much Debbie)...He is also written up on the OH site...So, now the preperation and wait begins...Any suggestions about recovery and things I will need at home would be appreciated...Thanks...

Congrats Sharon -- Dr Joe did my lower body lift in January 2005 and although it was definately the hardest and most paintful of any surgery I've had  (and I've had lots), it also had the biggest payoff.  He also did my breast lift/augmentation, face, arm brachioplasty and medial thighplasty in subsequent surgeries in 2005.

In any case, tell Dr Joe I said hello.  Check out my profile for details, and if you want to pm me with any specific questions, feel free.

Hugs, Nannette

I also did a consult with Dr Rose's office - Dr Risen -- however, they weren't willing to work with insurance with me.  Dr Joe's office did, and I was able to get my LBL covered by insurance (Aetna) with appropriate documentation.  Only ended up costing me about $1,500 out of pocket for that procedure.  The other procedures I self-paid.  I also really liked Dr Joe much better and felt that his experience was better suited to my needs.
