Welcome!

I don't know anything about her other than she did a body lift on a blogger I follow, but her name is Dr. Donna Tepper in Detroit. The blogger is at runsforcookies.com. She has a lot of posts and pictures on there from her surgery.

Congrats you look WONDERFUL!

Mine is scheduled for next week (along with breast list/augmentation) - I can only hope I am up as quickly as you are.

You look fantastic - especially only 2-3 days post-op. This is my dream - alas finances don't permit & insurance doesn't cover. Hope you're recovery continues to go smoothly?

Topic: Plastic Surgeon referral needed in Michigan for skin removal

Hello,

This is my first post on this site. I have lost 120 lbs and need to lose 30 more. I have talked to a couple of plastic surgeons regarding skin removal surgery on my abdomin. How do you know if they are good or reputable? I don't have any friends who have had skin removal surgery, so I am worried about trusting just anyone. We have all seen the horror stories.

Any recommendations are appreciated. I live near Farmington Hills, Michigan.

Thank you,

Unscented maxi pads are so much cheaper than gauze so if you like to save money, stock up on these. I got mine from the dollar store. I did not use the sticky side, my binder just kept them in place. Also I cut a slit in them to place around my drains to prevent leakage on my binder.
