I’ll come bk after I get my quote from the PS on the 26th. 😳🤑
How did everyone pay for it? Did you save all of it? And pay cash?Take a personal loan out at the bank? Care credit?

I paid for it -- but I used some inheritance money I got when my dad passed. Some people take out home equity loans or loans from their 401(k)s (although I wouldn't recommend the latter unless you're desperate) - or like you said, personal loans.

I totally agree on the 401k. I would Never touch it either.

The panniculectomy portion of my procedures (Breast Lift, Arm Lift, Tummy Tuck) was covered by insurance, as was the hospital stay and all meds, the rest was covered by my bank account.

I wouldn’t recommend this. I went to the casino with $100 and hit a 20k jackpot. Told my husband Ok I’m doing it! I never win like that. If I double my money I leave. Or if I lose my $100
I leave. Lol.

So excited for you!! Wish mine wa behind me as well! Still finishing consults. The soonest this surgeon can get me in is Feb

Did you do only an aug to the breast or a lift as well?

I’ll be having a TT, breast lift w aug

I didn’t need a lift I just got the augmentation. 345cc. Today is day 3. I’m feeling pretty darn good. Still sore. My doctor is 2 hours away. Closest option I have. Mine was drainless. I came home
Immedietly after. I will go back at one week. I work for a doctor and know a general Surgeon fairly well so I knew I could call on them if I needed.

My husband has always been kinda funny about me wanting to get my breast done (even before weight lost weight gain weight loss etc). He always said I feel like anytime a man buys a woman boobs someone else ends up getting them in the end. Which hurts. I’ve almost always worked. But I worked because I enjoyed it. We used anything I made just to blow and have fun. So when I won. I said welp I guess I can pay for it all myself. He is a great husband. He just is weird about some things. He has cute dimples so it just melts me and all is ok 😂

Get lots of quotes. The price differences are crazy. The doctor I would have never let touch me was the most !!!!

If you are willing to travel, check out Miami too! Even the most expensive PS in Miami is cheaper than the lowest priced PS in my home state.




I'm paying $11K for a Circumferential TT (aka LBL), BR/BL/BA w/ Lipo to flanks and upper abdomen. I've heard that the price for those procedures just went up $17K, but even that is way cheaper than my local surgeons, and in my opinion my local surgeons aren't as good at tummy tucks.


I was curious on yours. Does your cost cover post op care too? If not how long are you staying and do they help you find care. I think you may have posted on another thread. Miami might be where I go next year to get my backside lifted. I haven’t found anyone’s work here that’s anything like some of the doctors there.

      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.
