First surgery booked

[Mrssimpson]

So excited! On April 24 I get my tummy tuck and arms done. My inner thighs will wait 6 to 9 months.

I'm nervous. Excited.

I in reviewed 3 medical offices and ironically chose the most expensive one. So unlike me

I feel so comfy with this practice and the medical team.

I am scared about the recovery and pain. Nervous about what the results will look like

The drs each agree that I have very little fat left and that my body under this excess skin is going to amaze me.

I will post before and after pics

Any recovery tips?

Is this something covered by insurance, or are you on your own? After having a "self-pay" sleeve, this will be quite expensive, but definitely something I will consider. Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery and fantastic outcome!

Awesome! I had a tummy tuck over 20 yrs ago. Its rough going for about 10 days or so but the results are worth it:-)

Thank you for posting. I anticipate having the tummy tuck muscles tightened 1st quarter of 2015. I can already tell I will need other surgeries and very little will be covered by insurance. Perhaps I should start holding bake sales now to cover the cost?

Good luck to you....I know you've been waiting for this. My arms look worse than yours and I'm only 4 months postop! I better start saving too.

I need to self pay. I will get about 1500 from insurance company possibly as they cover the panis (know spelled wrong). I wmt out of network so smaller amount reimbursed

I was so torn but after my consult I got a letter that stock options I had forgotten about vested. It was almost cost of the tummy tuck so it seemed like fate. Didn't even remember those 150 shares of stock and the price since had doubled since the 2010 grant.

Good luck is all I can say just had the body lift done 2 weeks ago.

That sounds a bit cautionary. Please explain.

[christine53]

No No , I was just saying good luck, just please take it easy after words. I didn't and am paying dearly for it. You will do great

Good luck! I am excited at the prospect of getting that point in the future.
