Did you use Dr. LoMonaco?

Hi!

I am currently trying to decide between 2 surgeons for "the works". One of the potential surgeons is Dr. LoMonaco of  Houston, Tx.  I have had my virtual consult and quote for the work and Dr. L has answered my first (long) list of questions. He seems like a super guy. Excellent patient skills and very complete in his explanations of the procedures and plan of attack. I have read alot about him on this board and on RealSelf.com.  He seems very skilled and his before/after photos on his website are amazing.

If you used Dr. Lomanaco, would you please be willing to share any experiences, thoughts or photos? To be quite honest, his quote is more than double the non US surgeon and I am trying to balance the pros and cons when considering the substantial cost increase.

Thanks in advance for help you can provide. OH is the absolute best resource I have  found  and it has helped me tremendously in deciding on my WLS and getting thru it successfully.

I heartily recommend Dr. Lo to anyone who asks. If I can help you with any questions, please let me know.

Shelly,

What is a ballpark figure for Dr. Lo and a LBL? I was thinking of going to Mexico, but when u look at Dr. Lo's photos, well there is little comparison...

It's such a big decision for me, to use my savings in this way, but on the other hand, I'm so unhappy with how I look...

You look terrific, BTW.

Thanks,

Sara

 Thanks Shellymor!  It was your positive reviews of Dr. L that got me looking at him to begin with!!

I used him too and am very happy.  I am 7 months post op LBL/BL and there will be more to follow...eventually.  I have a couple of pics on my profile if you want to friend me.
