I had a Tummy Tuck this past February. It was no cup of tea. For a month I pretty much had the movement of an 80 year old woman. However after 8 weeks I was perfect. I loved the results! I went down a few sizes in jeans and I'm not embarrassed about my stomach anymore! I'm looking into doing more cosmetic procedures soon.

If you don't mind me asking, was it just a tummy tuck or was it a lower body lift? And how much did it cost?

I'm pretty sure I'll want a lower body lift after : )

I went back to take a good look at your tummy. My tummy looks the same as yours except I have lots of stretch marks on my stomach.

I want it' date=' I'm just not sure when.[/quote']

I suggest waiting til after you have children cuz you are so young. Unless Dr says Ok and you want to pay twice. Good luck with whatever you decide. I'm def going to have one as soon as my Dr says it's ok. However, I've had my children, twins.

What????? How much do they usually cost? Wow. I've always wanted a boob job. When I take my bra off I get road rash. Maybe a doctor will want a charity case. Dr dre!!! Lol my goodness I should be on stage!

Some insurances will give you a lift due to rashes and neg impact on functioning or living, etc....... The same for arm, thigh lift and tummy....

I'm not worried about when I have kids. I go to the gym and I eat right, I just can't get rid of my stomach from my surgery. I'm 18, kids are no where in sight in my future. I'm tired of not being totally confident because of my stomach.

Sweetie I bet a mini tuck is all u may need.... Go and get a few consults and research drs And their offices on bbb as well as the with the American medical boards to verify their specialty is plastics, as some docs don't have it as a specialty. I had a Tummy Tuck after my nine year old was 4 and though I had a baby with my second hubby 3 years later my stomach went back flat because the muscle connections were done right.

It will work out but get that research on comparables and verify they have rights at a good hospital which lends to their standing....

Good luck and God bless!

I'm so looking forward to 2014 to get everything done. I got a letter that "wish not to say from who" My plans not go as plan for next year. Damn it!!! Getting a loan for $50,000 when I don't even have a job is not easy. I estimated this amount by the sections I wish to get done.

Carecredit is used by many plastic surgeons and dr offices. If u can get a line of credit to them u can pay on it as u would a car.... It may be easier. U may or may not end up needing a co-signer..... I see the signs whenever I go to a doc's office and when I was last in my plastic surgeons office....

Better than care credit is Chase Health Advantage they provide total cost financing plus fixed interest rate.

I just saw they did away with that program. They are no longer accepting any applications.

      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.
