Looking for Help
I had VSG two years ago and am now researching the next step; plastic surgery. Is there anyone out there knows anything (good or bad) about surgeons in or around Lubbock, TX? I need a complete over-haul, folks!! I'm 55, actually today - July 29th. I may be 55 in years, but I feel no older than 30 inside. I found the "old" Susie and have regained my life. I am THRILLED!!! However, I want more. I want a body that mirrors how I feel inside. I have a consultation next Friday with a local surgeon! I will appreciate any information that you can give and/or questions that I should ask on my first visit.
A coworker mentioned plastics in Columbia. Does anyone have info about that?

I used Dr. Ronald North years ago. I am not sure if he has much experience with bariatric patients, but he is awesome. A good friend of my moms used to cut hair there and they know all the best plastic surgeons (their clients love to talk about it and the hair stylists see the results).

If you are coming all the way to Texas, why are you not using LoMonaco? He is the best.

Laura,
I know Ron. He is married to a friend of mine. However, he's no longer practicing. He and his wife, Gayle, are living in Hawaii. They still have a home here in Lubbock, but have spent the last 3-4 years in Hawaii. They're loving it. But I bet I could call and ask him for his opinion, too.
Thanks!! And....nice to see you again.

Good for him!! I loved him as my surgeon. I lived in Odessa at the time I used him and no way was I using a surgeon there....lol.
I think you should definitely ask him who to use if you want to say close to home.
