Anyone had a Tummy Tuck? Can you tell me how much you paid?

I'm getting increasingly upset about my stomach area and want to get a tummy tuck. I'm not sure how much money I need to save for one. I'm single and dating and it's nerve wracking to think a man might react badly.

:(

I'm in MA. My TT is costing me $5k.

I'm also having a panni at the same time. That would run $6k, but it is being submitted to insurance and I'm in the waiting on approval stage. That $6k includes a night in the hospital.

So it's really $11k for the upper and lower abdomen, the skin removal, muscle tightening, and new belly button.

Hi, I too have wondered about the plastic surgery part. Although I don't have a surgery date, I'm still doing the required 6 month clearance. I don't see my surgeon again till February 2016. With my surgeon, when I started this journey, has set a pre surgery weight of 250. At the time I was 264. I'm already at 254, and doing well. I have Avmed and am in Florida. I'm 43 and am looking forward to this wonderful tool to help me get healthy and stay that way. I wasn't sure if insurance covered the Tummy Tuck and all the other areas that will need tightened. That's great if it does! I sure hope mine does. Yes, I'm a newbie and wanted to say hello, this is my first post. I have enjoyed reading all the experiences and hope to continue this journey with you all. Best wishes in whatever part of this journey you are at. ????????????

My TT alone was about $7k I think (I had multiple procedures done so I would have to check to be sure). That was Skin removal and muscle tightening. I shopped around an got seven quotes and they all circled around that same amount.

Not to sound stalker ish but I think I might recognize your location from the background of a few of your pics and I wonder if you and I live in the same neck of the woods. If so I'd love to recommend my plastic surgeon and I'd happily share the info from the others I met with. PM me and I will tell you where I live and see if I am right!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
