You look awesome! I just met Dr. Chasen this past Friday for my initial consultation with him,and I am hoping to have the DS at the beginning of the summer (I'm a teacher, so I want to wait til school's out for summer). Thanks for posting your results. I hope to do the same a year from now!

Doing pretty well.  Thanks for your warm wishes!  Keep up the good work.  You are on your way to being a poster child for the DS.

Topic: RE: Looking for a plastic surgeon
I agree about consulting with your surgeon.  However, often their referrals are limited to doctors who are on staff at the same hospitals where they practice.

I love my breast reconstruction surgeon, Joseph Woods, who is Chief of Plastic Surgery at Piedmont and also practices at DeKalb Medical Center.  Very competent and respected in many circles as the best out there.

Topic: RE: Dr. Scott

Thanks, he is who I have chosen to do my VSG.  I just didn't see alot of people who used him on this forum.   I was a little curious and just wanted to be careful.
