Question:
How does a person get on your show. I volunteer totally. I am 43 years old and a baratric surgery paiteient who has lost a total of 142 pounds so far. I have went from a size 24W to a size 6 and 4's. I am very happy with my sucess.
I work out and I'm getting toned??? Tone with excess skin. It's a little strange on my arms and tummy. My skin is so loose with one-sided muscle tone. Kids look at my arms and stare. point and often touch, saying,"What is that???"
I need to have my arms done along with a much needed tummy tuck. I work out and sad to say but maybe true that the remaining sag is not going away. My required surgeries are reconstructive in nature. I am willing to have sugery filmed and story used. I have won my battle with my weight and would like to share my story. I cannot afford sugery at this time and would like my story told in exchange for my procedures. Please help me someone out there. I am a hard working woman with a family to raise and surgery is a luxury expense I cannot put in my budget at this time. But I am willing to be used for the greater good. Please note I had an emergency c-section with a vertical incision with damaged by abdominal wall which cannot be repaired with normal exercise.

You anyone help me?????

Please respond at nagee101@yahoo.com

I can help!

I would like to know how to get on your show myself. I am in need of liposuction or liposculpture in the worst way. My body is divided in 2 sizes. A size 8 where my waist ends and a size 20 where my hips begin. Not only does it drive me insane trying to find clothes that don't allow me to put two arms in the waist, but my thigh joints are getting scared from trying to find underwear to fit my hips and waist and my thighs rub together causing rashes or my pants to get worn. Excercise is no help and it's totally depressing. I really need help.
I hope someone responds-Junkmail1270@yahoo.com Frown

I am 40 years old, mother of two. they are already 20 and 15 years old. I have started anew life with a new husband un fortunetly I can't have no more children and my body is a desaster. I would like to have breast implants and a body reshaping to feel better about myself. Every time I look into the mirror I hate myself because I feel that my life is going to a waste. Iam forty years old and here I am looking horrible and there is nothing I can do since I have tried lots fo things but i just gain weight back. I have lost some and in some parts my body is saggy. This is just making me get so depressed, you have no clue what it is to see your friends and family looking good being able to fit into nice clothes and I am in constant strugle to find some thing that would fit and also that will hide my boy. If by any chance In this program I can be used to show others how the surgery goes I volenteer my body. Confused

The only reason i would go on the show is because these are experienced and trusted surgeons of the general public, they know the pros and cons and are willing to reject willing participants if they see they are not fit for surgery. I would definately go on the show for rhinoplasty, i have a nice ski slope bridge but the tip of my nose is wide with large nostrils and im afraid i would pick the wrong surgeon for this type of surgery, plus im highly considering breast implants, to a small c cup. Im researching this issue presently. If anyone figures out how to volunteer or audition regardless of price, please a give post those of us curious. thanks

I have emailed Discovery Health to find out how to become a candidate for the show. It looks pretty hopeless, but here is their response:


The majority of our programming is produced externally by independent
production companies. They are responsible for selecting the
participants on our programs. At this time, the production company for
Plastic Surgery: Before and After is not taking applications. Some of
these production companies do not have the resources to respond to the
many inquiries they receive about their programs.

Please visit discovery.com and check out the fansites as our website is
updated continually and the production company might take applications
at a later date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I am a single, never married young woman who has gone from a size 28 to a size 8/10. I also am a registered nurse hoping to get back to clinical nursing.I have multiple sclerosis and have to take coumadin to prevent blood clots due to having had a inferior vena cava filter placed in 1999. I was in a wheelchair for over three years. I have loose flesh on every part of my body except my calfs. My breasts sag and are deflated as well.I am in desperate need of plastic surgery to rid myself of the excess flesh and get my breasts back and have normal looking ones for once in my life. I have exercised and toned my body as much as it will allow me to do. When I say I have no money I really mean it. I am desperate to have a normal looking body for once in my life. If I had the money I'm not sure if I can have the surgery due to the clotting issue. I have had other surgeries and had to come off the coumadin for it and I need to find out if it is possible to undergo plastic surgery safely. I hide my body underneath my clothes. I am told I am pretty and when I am well hid under my clothes I can see it. I cry when I look at my stretched out skin and know that I have done this to myself. As a nurse I have helped others to hopefully feel better but am unable to help myself feel better about me. I come from a background of having survived severe physical and emothional abuse and went from being pulled out of school in the fourth grade to teaching myself, passing the GED and getting my BSN. I found out I had Multiple Sclerosis when I couldn't move my legs and went from working as a nurse to sitting in a wheelchair. I have worked very hard the past two years to get out of the wheelchair, lose weight, and now use a walker. I hope to get to where I can walk without an assistive devise. I would be more thankful than most could imagine if I could find a way to get plastic surgery and be able to look at myself and feel really good about what I see without having to cover up my body. Life has not been easy but I keep trying to make it better. I hope there is someone out there who can help me in my plight. I need an expert opinion about safely having the needed surgeries and also how to pay for them. I know a lot of people are asking to be used on the program in exchange for the surgery. I would ask the same. I would be glad to have my complicated medical story told in exchange for the needed surgeries. dorothybsnrn@aol.com

Hello, I am a 22 year old female who is a full time college student and mother. I try to balnace my time between work, school, and spending time with my daughter. I guess some may say you are too young to want surgery but some may not understand my situation. All my life i have been the skinny girl with no shape. Even after my daughter i went back to being skinny, no breast or curves. I hate it. Even though i think im pretty I dont feel completly like a woman. I feel like I am missing out on what many other females have. I have been riduculed by people, family, and friends about by boobs. I hate them. I wish i could get a boob job. i thought about it alot and i wish i could get it done. my problem is i dont have any money. At this point I would do anything to get that sugery done even if it means saving up to my last penny. I hate the way i look. I cant take it anymore. I dont feel as pretty as i should. Can someone tell me or give suggestions on what i can do to get on a show or something? IM IN DESPERATE NEED FOR A CHANGE!!! Frown

I would't mind being on the show if I could get the surgery pro bono. The surgeon would be Dr. daniel becker from sewall ,New Jersey. He is a revision Rhinoplasty specialist and he also is a facial reconstructive surgeon. He is rated "Top Doc" in rhinoplasty by philadelphia Magazine. He is also involved with instrument companies in the design of the becker/toriumi rhinoplasty instrument set in his surgeries. If I knew what i was to supposed to know about plastic surgery in the past, I would have saved alot of pain and suffering. Also, this Dr. Becker is talented and committed rhinoplasty surgeon with a keen insight into facial surgical technique. He has good judgment,soft bedside manner which is very important in a doctor which portrays a human quality of caring and science together.
Thank You for your attention,
Anne Endrey

Hey guys, I 2 would love to be on the show! I have actually called Discovery and they told me the same thing! Is this considered the fansite for plastic surgery before and after? The person I spoke to had no information on the show or how to pull it up on the site.

Hello ! I'm here and I would like to get on the show too !!! How does one get there ?
I'm a 42 years old mom from africa having trouble with my tummy, my breast and my "very large and flat nose:
- I went through three C-sections for my three children back in my african country; unfortunately after those C-sections I got a lob-sided belly with hanging loose skin on one side. The only way to correct or straighten my tommy is plastic surgery.
-I never feel comfortable with my face but I still live with it because I can't afford paying for plastic surgery.
-My big dream is to have big breasts ..
I really need your help! Please......
