Plastics in OKC or Tulsa

I had RNY in November 2017 and am down an amazing 190 pounds. It is time to start investigating skin removal. I have pretty much decided that a LBL is the way to go for me. Has anyone used a plastic surgeon in OKC or Tulsa? Can you share your experience with me and/or give me some recommendations. I don't want to go to Mexico -- have had 2 post op infections in the past and am afraid.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not from OK, so no surgeon recommendations, but just so you know, some plastic surgeons make you wait until you've been at a stable weight for 6-12 months. Reason being, many of us have a 10-20 lb bounce back after we hit our lowest weight, and gaining or losing more than 10 lbs after plastic surgery can affect your results. However, it's definitely not too early to start doing some consults so you'll know who to go with when the times comes!

I agree with Catwoman about waiting a few months to be stable. If you are willing to travel, I would suggest checking out good surgeons like Dr. Michaels in the DC area. He works with alot of folks from out of town and is a top surgeon.

As for going to Mexico, I know that it is cheaper and that it works for some folks. The problem is that if there are complications even weeks or months later, you are out of luck in getting support and follow up.

I know this is a bit late but in case you haven't had surgery yet... I had a tummy tuck with a posterior body lift (2003), and a breast lift and augmentation (2010) by Dr Brent Rubis in Tulsa. He is a certified plastic surgeon not just a GP that does cosmetic surgery. His prices are very reasonable, and he has always taken the time to explain things to me, to make sure we're both on the same page. I plan on getting my arms done, and when that time comes he'll be the first person I call.
