I am a lot older than you and had never worn a bikini in my life. Found out I love them. Still shy to wear them in public.

I didn't end up visiting him because I liked Dr. Katzen so much, but maybe look at Dr. David Stoker in Marina del Rey. And I saw Dr. Carmina Cardenas at the OH conference and thought she seemed very sharp. She's in Tijuana and therefore may be less expensive.

I think people getting insurance to pay for any of their post weight-loss plastic surgery has become extremely rare, like winning the lotto rare. If you have rashes and skin infections and have that well-documented by your doctors, sometimes insurance will cover a portion of the surgery but that's dependent on your insurance company and not the plastic surgeon.

I don't get rashes or infections, so I'm on my own paying cash.

Thank you! He is one of the best for sure. However, very expensive and not sure if he will use insurance of not for some of it? May I ask if you are able to use insurance or are compete cash pay?

I had a TT in December and have a little hang - puffy belly above the belly button. I also dreamed of a perfectly flat stomach. However, when I stand sideways and look in the mirror - it is flat so I think I'm being super critical. Also my daughter says I'm crazy haha. When I see the PS he is thrilled with the results - and is on the "Best of Boston" and "top doctors" lists so - again, I think I'm super critical - and also turning 57 this week. I don't know why I would expect the stomach of a 20 year old under any cir****tances. hahaha

Topic: RE: Day 10 post op LBL - long post

The lowest output I had so far in one day was 35cc which got me excited because my PS said he likes it to be around 30-50cc for a few days straight before they remove it. The day after it was 35cc it went up to 110 the next day. Today I emptied it at 7am and it was 35cc then had to empty it at 4:30 and it was 55cc and right now it's about 20cc but I won't empty it until tmr at 7. It's going down and the colour has changed - went from fruit punch colour to dark now (almost brownish tint). I texted my care coordinator a pic and she said it's normal. My drain has been a real pain - figuratively speaking though because there hasn't been any pain with it so that's good.
