adcrag1 15 Posted October 1, 2013 I am happy for you. Care to share what you had done. Considering Tummy Tuck, money is the major factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kijohns3 106 Posted October 1, 2013 I had a tt with liposuction and a breast augmentation. I paid a about 15,500 for all. I know I could have gone to Mexico for probably 1/2 the cost, but I could not bring myself or my family to do it. I took the lack of follow up into major consideration. Also I have 3 young children that I could not leave my husband stuck with for a week to 10 days. I am very happy and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 1, 2013 Well you can't miss me. I'll be the only big and tall bald guy there. But not so big anymore. He has come and gone already this morning but he did give me his cell. My wife works at BCM and he came highly recommended. I can see why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 1, 2013 She works in UME. Cayla Teal. She asked me what area you're in because she knows a couple of Kim Johnsons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HoosierGirl 780 Posted October 2, 2013 KIJOHNS3 - thanks for all the info....I am pursuing the exact same surgery you had! I've gotten one quote in Indiana of $18,500 for tummy, Lipo and breast aug! Seemed high to me so you posting the price you paid was helpful. Quoted a $8,900 in MX for lower body lift with BA.....but having a hard time staying away for 10+ days for recovery! Hope you are feeling well.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 2, 2013 Did you get your final drain out today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kijohns3 106 Posted October 2, 2013 No, tomorrow. I am so ready! Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kijohns3 106 Posted October 3, 2013 Yay!!! The last drain is out!!! It is so much easier to go to the bathroom and I have my pocket back. It is hard to believe that my surgery was less than 2 weeks ago! I feel so good. I look good too! I went to target and tried on some clothes. It is going to be hard not to buy clothes now! EVERY thing looks good! I am now a size 8! I started at a size 24 and 297 in May of last year. Now I am 164 5'8 and a size 8. Was a size 10 before my tt. He says I will be smaller still because of the swelling. I don't think I will be a 6 though.
