Back from 1st PS consult.

[anonemouse 1]

I really like this doctor. She's had quite a few WLS patients, so I feel very comfortable with her. She's pretty pricey, though. Of course, I may just think that because I don't have any real reference point, lol. :thumbup: Anyway, I got several different quotes, depending on what I decide to do. They range from $12,710 for just a Tummy Tuck and breast lift to $21,160 :smile2: for a tummy tuck, breast lift, BA w/ silicone implants, and Lipo to back, hips, and flanks. It's about in the middle of that range for just the TT, BL, and lipo.

*sigh* I dunno. I need to go on at least one more consult (have three others scheduled) before I make up my mind. I do like this one, though. She's very direct, but she seems very easy to talk to. Her staff is very nice, too.

I'm glad it went well Lauren. Were those the sorts of prices you were expecting? What procedures are you thinking about having? I mean I guess the whole she-bang would be ideal, but will you be happy with the BL, Lipo and TT?

I think getting another perspective/opinion/price to think about it a good option. I have my first consult next week. I've not made an appointment for a second one, but I know I have to eventually just to have covered all my bases.

Honestly, I've not really been sure of what to expect, price-wise. I'm going to at least have a TT and BL, and possibly a BA if I lose a lot of volume in the next few months. I'd LOVE to have the rest of it and get it over with in one whack, but price is a major consideration since I'll be financing the surgery. If I absolutely love one of the other surgeons, though, I'll add lipo and/or a BA, if the price is right. But if I do go with this surgeon, I'm pretty sure I'll be just doing the TT and BL.

actually the price for everything i do not find bad at all. I honestly was expecting to pay that for my TT and BA . I found out that in San Antonio runs about $9,000-12,000 depending on where you go

So i think the prices are reasonable.Are you considering the silicone ?

I was thinking about those too ? Im still 50 lbs from that but I research already LOL

Unless my breasts lose major volume between now and a couple of weeks before surgery (I'm probably going to schedule it for mid-May), I doubt I'll get implants. Right now, I've got 40D's, so I don't need to go any larger, and they should still pretty big when I get them lifted (again, unless they lose a lot of volume). If I do wind up with implants, though, it'll just depend on whether or not I've got plenty of breast tissue. If I still have quite a bit, I'll probably go with saline. If I don't, I'll go with silicone (more natural looking when you don't have a lot of breast tissue).

Lauren, I forgot to ask you, did the Doc say anything about getting pregnant after a TT? DH and I have firmly decided we don't want kids, but I need placate my Mum with some news that its still ok afterwards. She seems to think "I'll come around". Whatever.

Honestly, I didn't think to ask her. She knew that I don't have kids, though, and didn't say anything about it being a problem.
