Need Plastics recommendation for 200 lbs loss patient

Hi all,

I am 15 yrs post op bp/ds with the awesome Dr Dennis Smith in Atlanta (he is now in Florida). although I lost 200 lbs, I just never really thought about plastics. I lost almost half my hair with wls and was scared to be under anesthesia again for long time. Anyway, I got divorced a few yrs ago and much to my shock, I am actually dating again and I am starting to think I might want to feel better about how I look sleeveless or in shorts. I have a lot of hanging skin on my stomach, thighs, arms and really wanna do something about it now. I live in East TN, but I am willing travel anywhere in the country to get a great doctor with a lot of experience with post wls patients.

Thank you for any any all suggestions. :)

Real Self is a great resource.

Dr. LoMonaco in Houston was my surgeon. He is one of the best in the country and has a lot of experience with bariatric patients.

I didn't just want to look "better", I wanted to look "good". I am 51 years old and my stomach looks as good now as it did when I was in my 20's. I am so grateful for Dr. L and his expertise.

Good luck in your research!

Joseph Hunstad in the Charlotte (NC) area is supposedly very well-known for that, although I don't know anyone who's gone to him. You could check reviews, though. I've considered him since my brother lives in the area.
