I had consults with Dr Ross and Dr M at liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Naperville and both were great. I've not had my TT or breast lift/aug yet but am planning on having Dr M do mine in December.

I too need a hip to hip TT. For the extended TT Dr Ross quoted $8,000 and Dr M quoted $8,300. Both quotes include all fees, anesthesia, and compression garments.

Yes. It's the liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute. They have a Naperville location which is where I went cause it's closer to me but I think they also have Oakbrook and Chicago locations. Dr Ross and Dr Al M.

Dr Ross performs his more extensive surgeries at the Chicago location, there they have an in house surgical center and a hotel across the street where they have you stay overnight for observation.

      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.
