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...

      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.
