plastic surgery ?

Lynda, I understand your apprehension. I too, like the last post was more nervous about ps than wls. In the wls I was gonna die if I didn't get it and quite frankly that was okay by me. With the ps I was thin, having fun and didn't want to leave. I even told my surgeon I didn't want to die. Let's face it, your knocked out a lot longer than when you had wls and that scared me. But....all in all, I'd do it again. I've done the ps and then 5 months later some revisions to the ps. Pretty much satisified with the results (especially looking at the before pictures!! OMG) Besides, the drugs are great!! I had my arms done the same time as the extended (big time) tt Good luck....you'll be fine ----- no worries

Thanks Suz--I'm looking forward to the drugs.

Here is some good info Florida Board of Medicine Department of Health 4052 Bald Cypress Way, BIN #C03 Tallahassee, FL 32399-3253 (850) 245-4131/ Fax850) 488-9325 Florida - Check Credentials http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/mqaservices/ I found this under this link http://www.boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon.com/state_medical_examiners.html I used the one for GA its good info I also got info from my WLS surgeon of the GA link as well. The link should take you to the GOV site for the state of FL.. Hope this helps... NAT

Thanks Nat for taking the time to post this. I think I may have found the problem. I think it is his father, not him. I did find something earlier about the father and am waiting for the other link to come back up (under repair) to confirm.

If you have a local service like "ask a nurse" or know a nurse ask them where you would go to check out a plastic surgeon. As a last resort I'd call his office and ask them where I could look up any complaints against him. You don't need to give your name, just say you are considering using him but would like to check the site for complaints.

Thanks Pat. He is on the other side of Florida from me--so none of this is local. I did call their office and there are apparently no complaints against him.

Dear Lynda, Boy it's been a long time, email me your number again, we have so much to talk about, and this time we have to meet. I flew to Pitttsburgh last mo. to meet Dr. Hurwitz for my Total Body Lift--$51,000. big ones, but it will be so worth it!! Maybe you have seen him on the Discovery Channel. Which Doc on the east coast are you going to, I've done a lot of homework. I picked Hurwitz because he is the pioneer for this procedure, and because of my heart, I have to get it done all at once. Anyway, I'll call you asap. Margaret in Cape Coral.
