do you all pay cash for your procedures?  Some of you have had alot of work done, that would get very expensive.   And also the plastic surgeon that I think i am picking to do my surgery, I hope is good, cause I dont have any friends that have had ps so I cant get any referrals,  How did you all pick your plastic surgeon.   This dr has been doing surgery for 32 years and is very conservative.  He is board certified, i hope he is good lol.

I've paid cash for all of my procedures. You could ask your plastic surgeon to have some of his patients call you and that way you would have first hand information from some of his patients. You could also ask your weight loss surgeon for referrals. They normally are a very good resource.

Is there an OH support group near you? How about a support group through your WLS? Or maybe your WLS can recommend a PS? You should be able to get some word of mouth referrals from contacts in support groups.

Hi Wendy

I agree that you can get referrals from your weight loss doctors etc that's how I came across mine( hernia repair also) , and he is board certified also in San Francisco Ca. ( not to far from you) check out all your options my  PS  is willing to work with insurance and he does alot with no insurance also  just plain ole cash ( I will post pics  when done)
good luck

I'm paying cash for mine and got a referral from a fellow WLS patient.
