I just had my 1 yr surgical anniversary appt with my GBP surgeon gave me three names and descriptions:

Dr. Scott Barttelbort ("The Humanist"), http://www.drbsandiego.com/
Dr Munish Batra ("The Technician"), http://www.coastalplasticsurgeons.com/dr-munish-batra/
Dr. Diana Breister-Ghosh (Good female surgeon) http://www.plasticsurgeryisforme.com/

Looking at the websites, Dr. Batra seems to have a ton of experience with WLS patients and procedures.
Here's a great article he wrote: http://www.coastalplasticsurgeons.co...d-approach.pdf

You look amazing. I only hope I look that good!

Talking My tummy has been tucked.

I had my tummy tuck on Thursday 08/27 and everything went fine. I actually feel great though I can't stand up completely straight yet. I was going to take 2 weeks off to recuperate but I'm soooo bored that I'm actually going to return next week on Tuesday and work 4 hrs a day for that week.

I get my drains out tomorrow so I should be able to post some pictures then. I think the results are pretty good from what I can see thought. I can't wait to see what it will look like in 6 months once all the swelling goes down.

If anyone is looking for a good, reasonably price cosmetic surgeon in San Diego, I highly recomment Dr. Sarosy.

Hi. I was just wondering how the pain was for you? I would love to get a tummy tuck next summer. Ur surgeon seems very reasonably priced and he also has an office here in Temecula. I can't wait to see your pictures and hear more about your experience both pre-op and post op. Thanks for sharing..

How are you doing now? Everything healing alright? So, if I can be a bit nosy, how much did it end up costing you? I'm in the process of saving up so that one day I can get some plastics too.
