I'm new to Katy, TX and looking to re-do a TT I had done almost 4 years ago.  Basically, my fascia is somehow stretched out again.  Not exactly sure why but it is.  I've seen 3 doctors in Houston that I like.  They are:

Dr. John Lomonaco
Dr. Paul Vitenas
Dr. C Bob Basu

All in Houston.  Does anyone know anything about any of the three.  Please post here or message me.  Any advice (either positive or negative) would help me.

Thanks!

 There are a lot of very happy patients that participate here of Dr. LoMonaco. If I were in your area that would be my choice. Hopefully some of his patients will be along to chime in. It's a bit slow here on the weekend so hang tight!

Thanks, Renee!  I'm looking forward to hearing from others.  As you know, it can be very difficult to choose a good surgeon, so hearing from other patients is so important to all of us.  I'm so happy to have access to this forum!

Hi Julie, I used Dr. LoMonaco for my LBL/BL last October and couldn't be happier.  I live in San Antonio and drove the 3 hours for his skills.  I have a couple of pics on my profile if you want to send me a friend request.

Hi Julie,
I didn't use any of the 3 listed. But I didi intrview and research 2 of them. DR. L and Dr. Basu.
They where both to expensive for mysself. I acyually went with DR. Jamal Bullocks at Baylor College. He has worked closely wit DR. L. I have before and after pictures on my profile.

Thanks for sharing your photos.  I am 1 month shy of a 1 yr post op of my first round of PS.  What did your last round include.  My first round included, a tummy tuck, aggressive lypo on inner and front thighs and knees with a buttock lift.  My second round plan is to have inner thigh lypo thigh lift, lypo on upper and lower back and a few touch ups.

Mshuny, I've got an appointment with Dr. Bullocks but it's not until the 29th.  I'm excited to see him. 

Laura, yes, Dr. L does incredible work!  I'm just trying to get a couple different opinions.  I sent you a friend request.  I'd love to see your pictures. 

I'm not the typical tummy tuck case.  I had a BL and LBL in June 07 and now my stomach "bulges" in my opinion.  I've uploaded a couple current pics.  Two doctors I've seen say I should get lipo on my abdomen, sides, and flanks and I will be happy with the results; although lipo only will not produce a flat tummy.  The other two doctors i've seen say I need a redo of my TT.  So, I'm really trying to get as much advice as possible.  Thanks, everyone!

Dr. LoMonaco did my lbl last June and I LOVE the results. I live south of Corpus Christi and it's a 4 hour one way drive to get to him, but it's so worth it. He is so very knowledgable about post bariatrics patients, and that was of utmost importance to me. If you want to see my pics in my profile, send me a friend request and the password is LoMonaco. I need to update with new pics, but it looks even better now because I don't have any more swelling and I have some muscle definition in my abs. He took about 7 lbs. of skin off of me.
