I has my consulation yesterday I have to say every thing went well to me. I asked all the question could think of I was alttle nervous. Overrall I was pleased with Dr. Persing and Dr.Chang. Dr. Chang would like for me to lose 15- to 20 pounds. I could still have the surgery if I don't lose the weight. I am going to try to lose some the weight. The cost is 7,474.65 it's worth because I am going for it. Now I am on my weight lose journey.

hey! im new to this site, but i also want a tummy tuck and a breast reduction. I just had a baby last march and this new stomach is not for me! lol we have very similar body types, going off on your before pictures. I was just wondering if you think the breast reduction is something that should be down before the Tummy tuck? or is the order you choose just as good. I've been debating as to which one i want to get first. im most uncomfy with my stomach so maybe i should fix that first. Also, what was your final cost for the surgery? and how long did the procedure take?

sexy12 29 Mar 2013

I am not sure yet i don't see the Dr until April 23, 2013.

sexy12 29 Mar 2013

What size do want to go to? I think i want to go down to a small d cup

toomuchtummyforme 29 Mar 2013

Good luck to you. I got approved for a reduction as well but all of the doctors say the 575g insurance is requiring they remove will make me too small. So I am paying for it out of pocket so I only have to give up 300g on each side. I heard some only require the removal of 250g. How many do you have to reduce?
