Reconstructive Surgery Bummer



Recommended Posts

Jus did tt and breast lift- discount of $2,000 if done together- surgeon 8,050 and anatheiologist (sp) 1300. so 9350 and that covers everything from consult (fee taken off surgery price) and all after care, gurdles. wraps, 2 night stay at his surgical center operating apartment ( I live 130 miles from office)

Yes, its a lot of money and I am fortunate husband gave me great Christmas gift of cash to pay for surgery. I would have done the financing of surgeries that is available, I will look for that info if anyone wants it is only for medical surgeries financing.

I suggest to cover all basics, some dr.s charge for gurdles and wraps extra and after care too. I believe it is expected that you get prices and compare that is why they give 6 month quotes!

good luck!

Well I went to the Dr this morning. I really liked him a lot. He took a lot of time to talk to me and answer all my questions. It was great until we got to the price. After all is said and done it will cost about $8,000. OH MY GOSH! They are having to remove a lot of excess skin and give me a lift so that is why it is more. I am going to work my but off to come up with the money. I hope to have it done in March on Spring Break. That way my son is out of school and it will be easier. He also said I should wait until my 3 year old is bigger to have mystomach done because the recovery is hard and I will have to take it easy for a long time. So I am putting off thinking about that for now.

      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.
