Well, I went yesterday for my second consultation...I added some things that I want done. I initially wanted a Tummy Tuck and inner thigh tuck. I'm going to have a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. I'm scheduled for April 14. The total for everything, including hospital stay, fees, implants, everything is just about $19,000. I will be paying for everything myself but I know it's so worth it. It also includes all follow-up visits forever!!! Good luck (and wish me luck).

Yes Good Luck! You're already beautiful this is just going to be the icing on the cake!

Let us know how it goes! I'm halfway to goal. I have 260lbs to lose, I've lost 130. I need to have my pannus removed and I understand the insurance will pay for that. However, they won't pay for a Tummy Tuck. I wonder how difficult it would be to travel for my plastics.

I just had my first consultation and was quoted $9450 for an extended TT.

I'm looking at having my inner thighs and breasts done as well. I might combine one of those procedures with my TT if I can swing it. $$

Waiting to see if insurance will cover part of my TT. *fingers crossed*

I am also looking to get a lower body lift and some new girls. I am hoping to find it cheaper than my lapband cost me $18,500. I have two teenage daughters that start college this year uggh.. I don't want to wait 5 years for them to get my plastics done but as their mom I just can't see paying another almost twenty grand when that can go toward college. If I can find it for around 10 grand I think i can swing it! Does anyone know if the lower body lift includes a mons lift?

Mum of two boys.. good luck girl! You are gorgeous and you will be batting the men away!!!! congrats!

OK...my loan was direct deposited this morning. It's all getting real now. I'm getting nervous but so very excited. My friend is getting a lower body lift next week and it does include a mons lift. I didn't ask my surgeon about that but I will call his assist today and ask. I can't believe that it's less than two months away. Since I have the money in the bank I can get it done anytime now but I need to save leave at work. YIKES...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
