I expected to gain as well but I think because I had a lot of fat and skin they removed that's why I'm down? It was 9lbs of fat/skin. I did go up to 151lbs (still down from my surgery day weight) but am at 148 now.

Once the drain is out you will feel so much better.
I am amazed you had lost weight the day after surgery. Even though they remove skin, between IV fluids and swelling most people gain.

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.
