I am about 70% to goal and am looking for PS who are experienced in body lift procedures for massive weight loss. Some I have talked to aren't really experienced in LBL but think they can do it. Not really comfortable with that. I live in Oregon and no one seems to be rated that well. Would like to be on west coast if possible..Oregon, Washington, California or Arizona. Not comfortable about going out of country because my health insurance, if complications arise, would be void. Thnaks for any suggestions.

In California .... Dr. Agha and Dr. Katzen are very experienced in post massive WLS patients.

I have looked on Dr. Agha's website. I will have to contact his office for prices. I haven't heard of Dr. Katzen. I guess I was concerned when I found that he was a Los Angeles doc..figured the prices would be out of reach. Thanks for your reply.

I'm a very satisfied patient of Dr. Agha's. He's a fantastic surgeon and specializes in post-wieght loss patients. He's done a ton of body lifts and his work is excellent. Definintely have a consultation with him,

Did you have a consult after you had reached goal or before? What about virtual consultations? I am also concerned about costs. It seems that for a LBL, prices vary from $8000 to $22,000. That seems to be quite a range. I know I want someone really qualified but need to have other surgeries so I can't say that price is no object. Sorry for all the questions but am trying to find out as much info as possible so I can plan for the cost. Thanks for responding.

Check out www.asbps.org. (American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons)

There is a "find a surgeon" feature and you can search within various distances from your zipcode.

I checked on the ASBPS website and they listed only 3 plastic surgeons...Dr Mele and two others who weren't experienced in LBL so will keep looking. Thanks for your responses.

If you are going to have to travel for an LBL, you might want to check out Dr Sauceda. He has a board here on OH. Dr Sauceda .
His website is: Dr S website

I'm really happy with the results that I can see at 3 weeks out.

ETA to fix the links

I have been on his website and he has some great results. My only concern is that if there is a complication, my insurance (Anthem Blue Cross of California) wouldn't pay for any hospitalization out of country as a result of plastic surgery so that is why I am trying to find the best and yet most affordable in the states. How many surgeries did you have done at once? I would really like to have both the LBL & thigh lift at the same time.

Thanks for your info.
