I am just starting my research on plastics and I am looking for experiences (good and bad) with the practice of Drs. Goldberg and Krieger. For a long time, I thought that I would pass on plastic surgery, but now I am completely fixated on my "bat wings" and I would like to get them removed, if possible - time and finances are key issues. I am also nervous about having an ugly scar, so I know that it will be a balancing act. I figure getting all of the fact can't hurt and then I will make my decision.

I was set to have my turkey wattle removed, but Bill needed knee surgery so I put it off.

I hope you get all the info you need to make a good choice.

Thanks - as I lose more and more weight, I am starting to be really bothered by all of this hanging skin. I am not sure if I can afford it (yet), but I want to know all of my options. Yesterday, in pilates, my stomach was just flopping. I have like an apron which hangs down - it's annoying and humiliating.

Until the last 10/15 pounds I was OK, not happy just OK, with the skin.  Now it makes me look like my body is 20 years older.  My weight was in the thighs so if I don't wear compression garments, they just flop out to fill out what ever I wear.

I went to Disney last week and even though down 115 pounds my but still spills over both sides of the seat even though I have a good 12 inches left of the belt instead of needing and extender.
