Surgeon Referral - Chicago Burbs

Hello everyone!

I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon today that my primary care had referred me to. I would like to talk with at least one more and possibly two. One to two weeks ago, I clicked on the "find a surgeon" tab on this forum and signed up to get referrals for the Chicago market.  I haven't heard anything yet... I should probably be more patient... but...  :-)

So, my question is... can anyone here give me the name of a plastic surgeon in Chicago's western suburbs that can do a good job on a tummy tuck with lipo?

Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate the wisdom of this board... I have learned so much!

I am using the resident program at the Univ of Chicago. But, the attending on my case will be Dr. Lawrence Zachary, look him up...he is highly recommended. (Weiss Memorial)

I'd love to hear how you're doing after your surgery. I saw Dr. Zachary speak at the OH Conference last June and did read up on his reviews. You are right that he is highly regarded and seems to be the only guy recommended for people needed plastic surgery following WLS in the Chicago area.

I have left a message for Sheila in Dr Zachary's office. Do you know how much the charge would be for Dr Zachary (and hospital)  for an extended tummytuck with lipo? I have to self-pay so the bill is important to me.
