I'm super duper excited!!!
Congrats on your surgery! So happy that you are pleased with your results. I'm going to open this question to the board as well but I can ask you here. Was there a need to remove any of the extra skin?
I was a DD prior to surgery. Currently I still get DD bras and I'm able to fill them in with all of the boobage skin I have. I want to be a C cup because I want to be proportionate HOWEVER I already look like I have little to no cleavage when I have on my clothing. I don't know how that is going to work out and if I should ask for a C or D cup.

I'm so excited for you! The thought of plastics to finish off this journey is the best.
I got a consultation at Kaiser which i just could not afford. I was so happy to find Dr. Sauceda! He uses an epidural with twighlight sleep which allows him to operate longer. I had all of my surgery at the same time and I'm so happy that it was one surgery/recovery instead of four or five.
My surgery price included five nights in a clinic, then six nights in a hotel where he came to visit me daily. He also sent a nurse daily to bathe me and change my dressings. The care could not have been better. I felt really safe in Mexico.
Dr. Sauceda is doing consultations in Las vegas on June 1 and 2. He has a group here on OH if you'd like to come join us.

First let me say that you look great!! I'll have to look into Dr. Sauceda. I hope to have my arms and breast done within the next couple of months but would definitely like to have my lower body work done in one visit (once I lose more weight). It sounds like your received superb care, I really like that!

I went the route of a teaching hospital. The doctor that did my procedure had 15 years of surgical experience the last 7 strictly doing plastics. He had alot of experience with weight loss patients as I know of three other people in my local support group that used him. There was an attending doctor who is board certified supervising the procedure. I felt I was in great hands and had alot of attention.
I did have consults with some independent practices. They were all pricey the teaching hospital was a 1/4 of the price.
I went in with two priorities my Breasts and my stomach. The doctor told me that the LBL would be a better choice for me as it would give me the best result Vs. a Tummy Tuck alone. Two other doctors told me the same thing. His approach was a little different as he convinced me to change my priorities. I originally wanted to do the breast first. But he convinced me to do the LBL first as it would give me the best results and minimize the possibilities of a revision.
Five months ago I had the LBL and next month I'm going back for my breast. I'm very happy with the LBL and can't wait for the next step.
The hospital I went to is Nassau University Medical Center in NY.
