Answer 2

Hi - I just had a tummy tuck and hip liposuction surgery done last Tuesday, so I was once in your shoes. I live in Connecticut, and I can tell you of a GREAT doctor here, but if you are no where near here I would recommend just surfing the Internet by typing in "(Whatever state you are in) Plastic Surgeons." I think it is really important to do it locally...don't go off to India or something! Maybe even call a local hospital or surgi-center and ask for names of doctor's that use their facilities. (My doctors has an office, but does her surgeries at a hospital or medical center that is fully staffed.) My doctor was also able to share MANY pictures of her former patients (before and after photos) which I thought was good.

You sound (to me) like you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck because of your dramatic weight loss. I had twins 3 years ago, and my stomach was just stretched beyond repair, so ALL of my doctor's agreed that the only way I would be able to get rid of my "pouch" was a tummy tuck....diet and exercise would never fix the loss of elasticity. Find at least 2 local doctor's and start getting information specific to YOU.

Hope this helps! And here is my doctor's website in CT....just in case you are near here! http://www.deborahpanmd.com

GOOD LUCK!
