Default Need recommendations on Louisiana Plastic surgeons...

Hey everyone! I am not sure if this is the place on the forum for this but I wasn't sure where else to post. I am planning on getting surgery to get rid of some of my extra skin in about 6 months. I need input on what plastic surgeon to go to in Louisiana. Does anyone have any experience with surgeons in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge/ Lafayette areas. I am in need of recommendations. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

This is just a thought, and please know I'm not trying to be a preachy know-it-all, but have you considered waiting longer? Maybe you could get to your goal weight and reward yourself after you have maintained that weight for a year. Trust me, a lot of things change in a year (or more). Skin does bounce back, and besides surgery the best treatment for loose skin is remaining at the SAME weight for a long period of time. I would highly recommend giving your body some time to adjust...and live maintaince for a good while before going under the knife.

Just speaking from experience... Congrats on your awesome weightloss!
