sophey99Oct 19, 2017

Hello. I got the gastric sleeve done 2 years ago. I lost over 60 lbs and I almost feel great. With all the weight lost my butt is gone and my stomach is saggy. My doctor that performed the surgery says i am fine and just need tone up. But honestly I don't think that's is even going to work. I would like to know if another dr can perform like a brazilian butt lift with my insurance?
