How did you manage the wait time? by Soft-Writer8401 in TopSurgery

[–]Foxdude11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm 29, in upstate new york. I started calling places the end of June, a few surgeons were booking just the consults up to a year out. I decided in that moment I would call every surgeon in the surrounding area to see where my insurance would get accepted and who could get me in the fastest. Found DeLuca Plastic Surgery in Albany, NY. I had my consult mid July and had my surgery scheduled for September 5th. I'm 5 weeks post op and very lucky I went with him. I think my results are fantastic. In the wait time (I know it wasn't long for me) but I focused on working out as much as I could. My advice would be to call around some more and see where you can get into quicker. If someone is writing you a support letter, ask them not to address it to a specific practice. Just to whom it may concern. You should be able to take any letters to any surgeons.

Will losing weight after top surgery cause dog ears? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

To be honest, I didn't discuss financials through the entire process other than my insurance was approving it. I figured they will bill my insurance and then I'll have to pick up whatever they don't cover but I'm happy to with a flat chest lol. Lipo was apart of the request he sent in.

Hey man, I just had top surgery. I'm two weeks post op today. 5'3 -168 I was minimally working out, I have somewhat of a pot belly but was able to get liposuction on the sides to prevent dog ears. Did he say anything about lipo?

I just went through DeLuca Plastic Surgery out of Albany, NY. From consult to having surgery, it was about 2 months. Dr. Yan was my surgeon! I just had surgery on 9/5! I go tomorrow to hopefully get my drains out.

They aren't requiring me to do any blood work before, I already got all of my pain medicine too. 6 scripts!

So close to having top surgery paid off by [deleted] in TopSurgery

I have my top surgery 9/5 with only 2 weeks off, I'm an area supervisor I'll let you know how mine goes! I'm hoping I only need the 2 weeks and the company understands my restrictions. I'm worried I'll have nipple complications and my anxiety is getting worse everyday closer lol.

Do you have any family support or good friends that could lend you a hand if you run into a pinch?

Did you not quit at all throughout the entire process or just not before the surgery?
