I have consultation appointments set with Dr. Siciliano and Dr. Swank in Hickory, NC. I am very seriously considering (in order of importance to me) a tummy tuck, lipo under my chin and my neck, lipo of my back and the back of my hips, and a brazillian butt lift. I'm not sure what procedures will be within my budget. Has anyone had any experiences getting these procedures done with the two doctors I mentioned, or any other doctors in the Asheville, Hickory, Charlotte, NC areas? This is my 40th birthday gift to myself, but I have never been under anesthesia and am scared to death. Any information or opinions would be greatly appreciated : )

Hi ladies! I have crossed over into realself addict territory! I love reading everyone's stories and seeing the pics, they are so inspiring. I'm almost 40, and my one and only child is 10. I decided about a year ago that I'm giving myself a 40th birthday gift - the body I never had. I've been overweight all my life. My lowest adult weight was 170, size 10/12, from the ages of about 31-34. Afterthat I gained about 20 lbs/year until I hit 220, where my weight has hovered for the past few years. About 3 months ago, I was 226, but have been working on it and was 211 this morning. I was overweight when I got pregnant, and only gained 20 lbs, but as usual, all the weight all in my belly. I'm not sure exactly what procedures I will be having (i.e. in my budget), but the ones I will be having consults for are tummy tuck, back, hip, upper arm, and chin/neck lipo, and fat transfer to buttocks and breasts. I am planning on consulting with at least three PS, and have appts for next Monday and the Monday after that with the first two. I am hoping to have my surgery in April 2014. If anyone has a doctor they loved in western NC, I would love to hear about them! Good luck to you all!
