See the pictures
I think what I would do is definitely ask to see the before and afters of people they've done plastix on in the past. My PS had never worked with WLS patients before but a good PS is a good PS... I saw lots of before and afters; one in particular was of a woman who had lost a great deal of weight but not through the tool of WLS. Also, check on-line about their reputation. I saw one PS who seemed 'okay' until I did a check of him on-line... his overall rating was 2.4 out of 5, and many comments like 'lousy follow up', etc.
Good luck with your appointment and let us know how it goes!
Hugs,
Kimberly
