Question:
I am in Columbus Ohio area

I am searching for individuals who have had a tummy tuck and or breast lifts since their wls. I am interested in seeing before and after pictures and hearing your experience. I had my surgery 10/26/01 and am ready to move forward with plastic surgery. Any information you may be willing to share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Laua    — Laura A.

While I can't personally make any PS recommendations, since my WLS was just 10/6/03, I can recommend the Support Group at Mt. Carmel. It meets the first Monday of the month at Mt. Carmel West Nursing school. Over the past 6 months, there have been two different plastic surgeons lecture on potential procedues. There are also several people that are scheduled for similiar procedures. I would attend a meeting and ask your question there. The January meeting is being rescheduled. I think it is going to be the second Monday due to the holidays. If you're interested, email me and I can confirm the date.

I had a full abdominoplasty last year and my tummy looks great!!! I had my surgery done by Dr. Robert Heck. He has also done liposuction on my upper arms, then he did a modified brachioplasty on my upper arms. In May, he will be doing an inner thigh lift. I would HIGHLY recommend him. If you go to see him, ask to see all of my pictures. If you have any questions, e-mail me.
