First Plastic Surgeon Visit!



Recommended Posts

Wow. Talk about mortifying. I had to stand there in the buck with nothing but these tiny bikini underwear they provide you, and get photographed! Sagging boobies, hanging belly, arms flapping in the wind - that took ALOT!

And what did i learn at the end of the day?? I shouldve stayed Fat because i cant afford all this surgery LOLOL

Just kidding of course. I got a consultation on a little extra neck fat, sagging deflated boobies, massive arm flab hanging and a WILD unruly stomach that is all sorts of wrinkled.

THe great news was...he said there is NO fat in my stomache or arms...that im hollowed out!! Yay. I was hoping it was just skin and not more I needed to lose. It was kind of gratifying :ohmy: My BMI was right where it should be. I was thrilled.

It turns out I will not have any surger before my wedding (July). Im so glad he was honest and straightforward and ssaid hell no missy, cutting it too close!

Anyway, I liked him, I got priced and overviews and tons of photos, so eventually, after the wedding, ill go back to him. But check out these prices!!!!!!!!!

Location: Bergen County, NJ

Doctor Quality: Top US Plastic Surgeon

Overall Cost (procedure, anastesia, facility, taxes)

Neck Lip 4,000

Arms 10,000

Tummy 20,000

Boobs: Said I should wait till after children, so didnt quote me.

WOW! I need a better job people!!!!

Just to compare my PS was $11,500 for extended Tummy Tuck. $10k for breast augmentation and lift and $86000 for thigh lift. Very important that you shop around. Good luck.

LOL. $86000 for the thigh lift. For that much money, they ought to carry them for you too. At least you know we are paying attention.... ;o)

The truth be told I have no idea what my surgeon charges. He was very adament about getting the insurance to cover everything and he has never even brought up the cost. But the first surgeon I saw said the Tummy Tuck was 10k and he didnt' want to talk insurance at all. I'm kinda anxious to see what the insurance is paying when its done.

      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.
