I was wondering if anyone has gone out of the US for Plastic Surgery?
I am planning on going to San Jose, Costa Rica for my plastics since I have been denied for my reconstruction to breasts, thighs, abdomen and all this hanging skin is discusting! I have worked long and hard to lose the weight and exercise after the GBS, and I have lost 130 lbs, and the Ins. Co. is not going to stop me from doing this. So I am scheduled for PS on May 10th at the Rosenstock/Lieberman Surgery Clinic. I will be getting an extended abdominoplasty with tightening of the muscles, lipo to abdomen, hips and outer and inner thighs, also a mons lift, and inner thigh lift, and a breast lift and implants put in. I am so excited to get this all done.
I have looked long and hard for all the info, and have studied so much for all the ins and outs, and the pros and cons. I feel very comfortable with my decision, and I have talked to at least 60-80 others that have gone there and I have seen their results and the doctors there are wonderful.
If anyone has gone to Costa Rica please let me know how you did, I am really needing to know.
Thanks for listening and for all your help.

I would be interested in knowing also......in the safety, the results, the cost, etc. I am not likely to get anything covered......but I hate the flabby look. It makes me still feel fat no matter what size I wear.
