WORTH IT$4,800

3 months Post-op & standing strong! I feel that i am sexier, free & happy! This experience has opened up new opportunities for me to explore life in a different way. Since September, I have traveled more, I have smiled more, I have laughed more...I have enjoyed more! I used to feel totally uncomfortable when I'd put on my socks, shoes or even shave my legs but now I can flex everything with ease! (A great feeling in itself) I have been motivated to get out & walk because there's nothing jiggling! (I am not ashamed of what my body had turned into...it has been improved) Three month photos soon!

Fantastic pictures & a fantastic body. I agree with you. After my surgery I realise that I will never have an hourglass figure, I am not made that shape but I am so happy nor to have the dangly, jiggly tummy. I feel 10 times better than before in myself.

Well done again! Looking forward to new photos!!!!!!

No they do not have a website...It is Columbus Plastic Surgery in Columbus, GA. Thank you for the compliment & I pray that any decisions that you make to enhance your mind & body will bless you continuously. You take care...

Of course I do not mind! That price included lip & tummy tuck...I was a solid 16 before hand & I can now fit a 14 & my 16's fit around my hips but big in the tummy area. I haven't been able to wear 14's in jeans or dresses until now!

I had Surgery 4 weeks ago and I am doing great!!!...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I am a 44 year old lady and our bodies are similar in weight and size and you look wonderful! Amazing actually and I have been wanting a TT for almost 10 years. Can you tell me how you felt the day of and day after your surgery I am about 2 hours away from Columbus and I am considering seeing your Doctor soon. I want this procedure more than anything I have ever wanted. Also does he finance or have a plan? Any information you can give would be appreciated.

Hello Linda, I am 33 years old and I can tell you that throughout the years after childbirth, I was not 100% secure of my body or even comfortable with my size. i didn't dwell on it on a daily basis but I felt like I was always trying to hides something from "someone." I felt that I would neve have any type of cosmetic surgery for any reason in this lifetime. I mean, I was totally against it. As I stated in my initial post, I consulted with the Doctor 5 years ago. I think I just wanted to see what they would say. At that time, I was 225lbs. This time around, I was 263...wow...the weight just kept coming and I could only get off 5lbs @ a time. I just oray for a 190 lb day. I had been skinny all my life and never want to be like that again but I want to be fit & fine!!! This was not my solution to the weight loss struggle, it was my solution to look better with the weight I have. Linda, I promise you, I not only look better, I feel better even in my early healing stages. The day of surgery, I felt like I was going to my own funeral. I was not excited @ all. I knew I was taking a risk but I felt that with my health being up to par, that I had a better chance coming out on the "positive" end. The day after my surgery, I felt fine. I was reminding myself that..."I DID IT." I didn't focus on any uncomfortable state or pain because i had ocnquered my fear & I knew then that all I had to do was "heal." I did not ask if they offered any type of finance or plan, I asked the cost after my assessment and how soon could I get it done. I consulted on Sept. 9th & had surgery on Sept 17th!!! Linda, if there is anything else you would like to know, feel free to contact me @ any time. I go to my follow-up on the 28th and I know that it will be a successful visit for my Doc to see how well I am doing!!! Take care of yourself.

I read your last post and I want you to know it hit home. So now with the help of God I am going to finance this myself. As a single parent of two I am always running and doing things for other people. I deserve this for me. Now I just need to figure out when to do it, since the holiday season is approaching.

I love your energy and positive outlook on life.

I am so happy for you...I didn't tell anyone about my venture until the day I consulted and set the appointment for the following week. All these years when I would talk about it, my boyfriend would say..."You don't need that...just do some sit-ups" I would tell him that my stomach wasn't going anywhere...he said..EXERCISE... needless to say, it never worked!!! Amazingly, when I came out of surgery, he took care of me SO WELL...& he is just as happy with the results as I am...BOY IS HE HAPPY.. You will not regret it, I can't see any way possible that you would regret it...You have a community here....full of support...JUST DO IT...
