Hello everyone. I went Monday for a consult for a Tummy Tuck. Well I will be going to more doctors. The quote was 14,000. I was very upset and down on myself. But friends told me don't stop at the first dr. So will be calling others :)

Try Dr. Joseph Capella in Ramsey, NJ if you can get here. I've read on various plastic surgery review forums that he charges $20,000 for an entire body lift, and I think much less for just a Tummy Tuck. Plus he's pretty much the top doctor in the country for post-bariatric body contouring so you'll get good results. :)

That seems kinda high to me. I had an extended Tummy Tuck, he did my flanks as well, breast lift with implants and brachioplasty... All for $18,220. I live in Virginia and I know prices vary by regions but my surgeon was one of the best in the area who also specializes in weight loss reconstruction. I would get other consults before I committed to that price.

Yes,It is a good idea to take a second or maybe even a third opinion.You might just be able to get the quotes for the surgery that you are looking for.It is always better to go into the surgery with a positive and sure mind,it is only then will you be able to know who is the best surgeon for you in all respects.

That's very high. I have a breast lift and augmentation, full Tummy Tuck, and Lipo on my thighs, lower back, and flanks scheduled for next month and it cost 20K for one of the top doctors in FL. Keep looking- you will absolutely find something more realistic. My TT price alone was about 12K before adding in the discounts for multiple surgeries.

Ladies, if you are happy with your plastic surgeon why not state his/her name so others might go to them for a consult? It seems to me that it would be very helpful.

Here is what I paid all inclusive for my surgeries in 2013:

Tummy Tuck $7k

Convert TT to LBL, extended arm lift, breast lift, inner thigh lift $18,000

Dr. Joseph F. Capella, Capella Plastic Surgery, Ramsey NJ

Facial plastic surgery $14,800

Face lift, neck lift, smas to tear troughs, chin implant, lip lift, upper eye lid lift, cut the muscle between my eye brows, filler

Dr. Catherine Winslow, Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery, Carmel IN

      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.
