First consult

Went to my first consultation with a plastic surgeon today on the removal of my hanging belly... AKA pannes - I think I spelled it correctly.  

Glad I did it now.  Gives me some goals to work on. 

I dont remember which post I read, but someone said its never to early to start thinking about PS and getting the facts on it.  Can you imagine what life would be like if we didnt have this means of communicating with perfect strangers (who care) on such personal topics.

Congratulations on your weight loss. It never is too early to start thinking about plastic surgery after weight loss, but it is best reserved for patients who have been weight stable for 3-4 months, who are nutritionally optimized and have no medical contraindications.

Plastic surgeons that perform a lot of post-weight loss body contouring can be a great resource of information for patients. In addition to telling patients of the various procedures available to address their body concerns, they can help patients navigate the insurance issues and financial concerns with these procedures. I often find patients who are not ready for plastic surgery leave the consultation very excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for them.
