What do you think of my list of Drs.?
If you are open to another name, Dr Sauceda is fantastic and an artist on our mis-shapen bodies. You can click on Dr Sauceda in my siggy line and it'll take you over to our group here on OH. Dr S uses an epidural and twilight sedation, so no general. You wake up feeling refreshed, not groggy and sick. He also does multiple procedures at one time.

Hi,
I did combine the LBL, arm lift, and implants. Dr Capella uses a certain technique to minimize the thickness of the incision line. It's kind of freaky to look at when you first come out of surgery, but it heals beautifully. My arms have mostly faded to barely noticable lines. It's a little thicker on my inner thighs, but doesnt bother me at all.

I love love love Dr. LoMonaco. He is amazing and I am so happy with my results. I never thought that I would look anywhere near normal at the age of 46 after losing 200 pounds, but I look pretty damn good now

I have been to see Dr. Katzen and Dr. Agha. I really liked them both, but Dr. Katzen is who I chose to go with. He is wonderful, but very BUSY. Contact him soon if you want a consultation cause it can take awhile to get an appt with him, but he is worth the wait, trust me. I started this process in April, got approval in June....surgery in Sept. LONG PROCESS, but he did open his scedule on a Saturday so I didn't have to wait til October.
The other thing I loved about Dr. Katzen....he was the only dr that was willing to go to bat for me with my insurance company, and guess what??? He got it approved!!!! My Fleur De Lys tummy tuck is on Sept 8th. Woot Woot
You have compiled an awesome list of surgeons. I would pick at least 3 of them (I had 4) and go to meet with them. Getting naked is the worst part but I learned something new from each consultation so it was worth it.
Good Luck!!!!!! If you have any question feel free to message me. ;-)
