Met with a Surgeon Today!

Hello All,

Just want to share my experience (and excitement).  I met with Rachel Sullivan in Providence RI today for a consult on a lower body lift and a breast/arm lift. She was really great, she took the time to talk to me (before I had to get naked, which is always nice) and understand what my concerns are.  Then after I got naked, she did an exam.  She was very hands on, which I really appreciated, because she was able to really explain what she would be able to do and give me a little bit of an understanding of how it may look after.   I didn't feel like I was imposing on her or that she was rushing to get to the next patient. That made a BIG difference in my comfort level with her. 

Dr. Sullivan "gets" what it means to have lost 90lbs and to have excess skin that no matter what I do from an exercise perspective, I just can't get rid of.  She gave her opinion about what to do first (we are going LBL with some lipo of the inner thigh first) as a plan to address the areas of my concern. She explained what I could expect as far as scarring and possible complications.  All in all, I came away with a great first understanding of the process and a plan for going thru the rest of the steps.

I'm sure I will have more questions for her in the future as it sinks in, but we have a tentative date of June 5 planned for the LBL/inner thigh lipo and a follow up appointment with her to finalize the plans on May 7. 

Yay!

That is so exciting!!  Congratulations you deserve to be this happy after all your hard work!  I can't wait to be in your shoes!!
