Met Dr. Fisher in person finally!
He is as thoughtful in person as he is on the phone and was very giving of his time. He stayed almost 1.5 hours after the office typically closes to accommodate me and my 1+ million questions. Post Massive plastics is both a specialty and a passion for him and it really shows. What is most impressive is how ego-less he is in discussing his own results and openly discussing the results of other doctors. I have interviewed a total of four doctors to do my post massive plastics, and I believe he is the best balance of skill, safety, and results (and he is also a very fair price point I may add....). I also like his "approach" to the staging of the surgeries. It makes sense to me. My legs will be the biggest challenge as I have the most laxity in this area - we are "de-bulking" the thighs and the calves. I am deferring skin removal on calves as a considered 3rd stage. Lets see.
Any of you post-massive folks (100+ lbs lost) who are considering plastics, I do urge you to only consider docs with specialties in this area. Our problems are far more extensive than run of the mill tummy tucks and breast augs. My thighs have to almost completely be "rebuilt." Really my whole body has to be "rebuilt" for that matter. I have so much laxity from 200+ lb weight loss. I go for 1st stage surgeries December 27th. So cannot wait! Updates to my planned surgeries:
Stage 1:
• LBL (Which includes; Abdominoplasty, lateral thigh lift, mons reduction and lift, butt lift and auto augmentation, auto augmentation of the hips, high volume suctioning of the thighs)
• Lower leg/ankle liposuction
• Extended arm lift. Which removes lateral breast tissue and the upper back rolls.
Stage 2:
• Thigh lift, with suctioning as appropriate ("L" incision to meet up with my LBL incision)
• Breast lift/augmentation (silicone gel implants).
• Lower & Upper lid Blepharoplasty
Stage 3:
• Skin excision from calves? (maybe....)

I am interested to see Dr. Fisher's work and will continue to follow your journey. As for your advice to other MWL patients that they should seek a surgeon very experienced in body contouring after massive weight loss, nothing could be truer!!! This is critical.

I am very proud of you...i know how hard it is to lose the weight and work so hard to be left with a non-responsive skin issue...you are looking great, I can see those sexy curves trying to break out of there!...make sure to post pics, i am very interested in you and your results...Phase 1 is right around the corner and before you know it the scars will be healed and fading and there will be nothing left on that hot bod but a few scars to show the journey!!

Hi there, welcome!
Wow, your date will be here before you know it, are you excited? If you don't mind sharing, how did you lose all of your weight? Did you have WLS to help, or was it purely diet/exercise?
Wow, well you've obviously worked very hard to get to where you are, congratulations!
If you feel like writing a review of your Sleeve Gastrectomy, we'd love to hear about it. I know you didn't get significant results from it, but people like to hear about all journeys, it helps give a realistic expectation when considering any type of procedure.
I just had my VSG 13 days ago, so I'm very early into it, but all the stories I've read from people before me have been super helpful.
Thanks for sharing. I think one of my big concerns was that I would have the surgery and still eat like I did before, but hopefully that won't happen. There's a lot of mental preparation that goes into this! I just keep telling myself, "you put yourself through the surgery, don't mess it up now"! :-)
Thank you! :-)
Yes, I'm looking forward to choosing foods because they look and sound delicious, not because you get huge portions! I've always loved to cook and I don't think that will change, but I'll cook different, WLS friendly foods now.
