Tricky, I am in Shreveport. I used Dr Jones who 10 years ago was the only doctor doing the RNY and he still only does the open. There are now several doctors here that offer the lap version.

I also started at about your weight (245) and went to 140 for a long time. I have only lost the additional weight in the last year since being diagnosed hypothyroid. I did not have a lot of loose skin but there was the usual pooch of tummy and saggy breasts. Insurance didn't cover anything for me.

Marty, of all the plastic surgery procedures the breast lift is by far my favorite. I didn't lose any of my size but now they are back where they belong! Start saving your pennies!
