I don't know if this is of interest to anyone, but when I was in the States a few weeks ago, I did three plastic surgery consults in Chicago.  I haven't made any firm decisions yet about who I'm going to go with.  But I'm hoping to have work done as soon as this October.

I've written about the experience here.

Will be waiting to see what you decide to do.  Are you going to Chicago just to have the surgery done?

I am.  I live in the Middle East and while I had my WLS done here, I wouldn't do plastics.  They do have plastic surgeons out here and I know a woman who had her breasts done and was very happy with the work.  But they don't really have experience with things like lower body lifts post-weight loss.  I want to see an expert for something like that.  Plus, all my family is in the Chicagoland area, so I'd have the greatest support there.

I'll keep you posted!

AHHH! Got it!  Are you considering any other countries?  Julia HasHerLifeNow had her's in Switzerland and it was the best looking results just two week out that I have seen to date.

She looks terrific!  I'd wanted to go home because I'd have support those first few weeks after surgery.  I'm single and while I'm rather self-sufficient, I'm guessing it might be nice to know there's someone nearby I can call on if I need anything.

Thank you so much!  I'm in the Chicago area and just starting to research, so you have given me a big jump on looking for surgeons and expectations.

I am in Chicago and my surgeon is AMAZING!!!! he has the BEST bedside manner and truly understands what you are telling him you want while still making sure it is medically sound.

 

Dr. Michael Howard out of Northshore Hospital.  PLEASE PLEASE check him out.  You will be SO glad you did.

Thanks for the tip.  I'd reached out to Dr. Howard's practice, but had trouble communicating with his office, so I moved on to other docs.  I'm really glad you've had a good experience with him.  I'll keep that in mind.
