highland 168 Posted May 20, 2012 I was a self pay. $15500.00 thus far. I did end up staying overnight in the hopital because the surgery ended up taking 6 hours!!! My sister works in the surgical practice so my ps went above and beyond to give me the best result. I ended up agreeing to a vertical incision so he could shape my upper abdomen as well and tighten the muscles there as well as the lower. I'm only 30 hours post op and can see an awesome reslt. Wow! I'm speechless!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
