T.,
I share your problem. I have been working with dr angobaldo in Plano and he is amazing. I have a clinically professional relationship with him so I chose him but have yet to have my surgery. First my insurance denied the procedure, so I was saving up the money when my job changed insurance, then the new insurance approved the procedure but with stipulations so when I went back to him I had lost weight and went from a ddd to a dd and the if he had removed all insurance wanted I would have nothing left in his opinion. So we appealed to the insurance once again and now we are waiting to hear back. For me this process has been going on for almost a year now but I'm in no rush because as I'm losing weight they are not getting smaller now just 'lower' :)
to answer your questions, I have not had the procedure but am looking forward to it despite all the ppl telling me horror stories of the scars they now have and how they got fat so they came back. U should do what u feel is best. I love dr a bedside manner, honesty and work ethic so I chose him. I cannot give u a price because I have a professional discount from him but be prepared to pay the surgeon, the hospital or surgical center and anesthesiologist. Good luck and keep me updated on your progress, please.
