Body Sculpting or No?

That price sounds reasonable to me. I got a quote from Dr. Bello in Mexico for a friend and he also quoted around 6-7K.

Mini... I would have a TT done NOW, this minute ..lol!

I don't think it is vain, but a good end to an incredible weight loss journey, the icing on the cake if you excuse the pun!!

I like icing! B)

I think that is a very reasonable price for a full TT. I had one almost 4 years ago when I was heavier and though I had a great result I wish I had done the surgery then the TT. I need to have a revision to the sides of my TT due to a common occurrence called "dog ears" where the side each incision sort of pooches out so I am going for a consult next month to have those corrected and have my tummy lipo'd with it. I was waiting this long to have them fixed just for the fact that I knew I wanted to lose more weight at that time and I figured I could do the Lipo and the revision at the same time. So I should have those done within the next eight weeks. YAY me.

I say go for the TT it is a total shape changing surgery. Clothing just fits so well after and they should tighten those tummy muscles and if you have had children that is especially helpful. My tummy is solid as a rock!

:) good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
