Dear Strawberry ,
I am almost 8 years post op . Dr. Kreiger did all of my plastics .
I had breat augmentation , breast lift , Butt lift and augmentation ( No implants he used my own skin ) 
I had my arms done by him , and he corrected some flaws on my tummy tuck , I had gotten into a car accident after my TT ... my WLS did my TT ... but I ended up with a serious infection , but Dr. Kreiger worked his majic .

I have a ton of pictures on my proflie . They are only available to people on my friends list . If you would like to see them , you can add me as a friend . I would be more than happy to share them with you  .

Dr. Krieger is my hero .. he saved my life . When I had my Butt Lift done , I bled out after surgery. The nurses where not paying close enough attention to my drains , as they where quickly filling up with blood . My best friend was there with me and she finally got his attention and he did blood work on me and my hematicrit was down to 4 .. I had to go back in for emergency surgery to stop the bleeding . . this is a rare complication , but it can happen . He waisted no time and after 4 units of blood , I was as good as new . He knows what he is doing , as he specializes in Bariatric patients . He knows our skin has changed since the weight loss and he has special proceedures that he does that most other PS do not use . I was blessed to have him .
If I can answer any questions for you feel free to email me  .

Thanks ,
Natalie

I attended this event in Baltimore last year and I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to get to meet up with some of my WLS friends and learn how to make these great dishes. It was so much fun and was such a help to discuss with others how they are handling the holidays. Cause we all know that holidays are STUFFED with food right? 
 

This year the event is in two locations: Baltimore and Pittsburgh. I’m going to the Pittsburgh one (even though I live in MD, I’m busy the weekend of the 29^th but I still want to go!). The tickets are cheapest right now at the advance rate, but there’s only three more days to get that rate for the Baltimore event ****il Oct. 8). For the Pittsburgh one the advance rate ends the 15^th. You can check out the details at www.bariatricfoodie.com.

 

The author of Bariatric Foodie is a member of OH, her screen name is Cleopatra_Nik in case anyone wants to PM her for information. You can see what she’s about on Bariatric Foodie. There are lots of recipes there for us post-ops along with other cool stuff. I really like her blog and what she does for the WLS community so I wanted to spread the word about this event. From talking to her, I can tell she really cares about us feeling good about the holidays AND  that she wants to bring these events to more places if there is a demand. Let’s show her there is!

 

Also, I wanted to make sure folks knew about this great event and have the opportunity to buy when the tickets are cheapest!
