Question:
Not a question but a statement

Those of you living in the Austin Texas (and surrounding areas) and considering plastic surgery, please read. I am 8 days post op of abdominoplasty. I am doing very well and my plastic surgeon did a stupendous job. His name is Dr. Troy Thompson. the Thompson Plastic Surgery Center in Round Rock Texas. I highly recommend him and his staff. I have had no complications and am extremely happy. Those of you considering this procedure feel free to email me, I am happy to share. Sadly when I posted my questions I got few responses. Body sculpting surgery is a very intense and invasive procedure. Not to be taken lightly. I do not regret it and I know in a few months I will be one happy lady. Still dealing with the drains and binders and off and on pain, but would do it all over again. Praise be to God, and to all of you out there that contribute so much to this site.

Deborah, Congratulations to you on all of your successes and thanks for the positive note. It's good to see someone happy with their results and willing to share. I'm a long way away from plastic surgery, but I will get there. I live in Jacksonville, Florida and will be looking closer to home. Sorry you received few responses, I answer as many as I can. The very best of luck to you, Dawn Vickers, RN, BLC, CLC

Hi I just wanted to ask you how much weight you lost before you had plastic surgery and then how much you weighed after your surgery. I have lost 221 pounds in almost 19 months and have alot of loose skin all over. My doctor who did my gastric bypass surgery told me not to consider any plastic surgery until 2 years had past. I have deterioting disc disease in my back just recently (6 weeks ago)had second spinal fusion. All this skin is pulling on my back and I am hoping that my orthopedic doc will help me out with this for insurance. My question is how expensive is it and what all did you have done. Also what is the recovery period and how do you find out about the plastic surgery. Thanks for your help and congratulations on your surgery. I look forward to hearing from you. Treva Deck
