Tired of my Stomach in my Lap – Full Lipo TT Asap!! Shooting for 7/5/11 - Gretna, LA

I had a consult for a TT on March 3, 2011. I have some female issues and plan to have a TT when those issues are addressed. I have a few concerns, I am 45 years old with no kids and about 280lbs, I am 5'9. My doctor says since my weight has been the same for a few years and I have no other medical issues that I can have a TT without losing any weight, but if I did, it would be great.
After reading some of the reviews, I am getting scared. I've wanted this for some time and plan to have a TT with Full lipo on July 5, 2011. Am I doing the right thing at my age? I am being told by a friend to love myself. I do love myself, but I want to improve "me". I am I wrong for wanting to improve my physical appearance or is my friend so called hatin on me? She's almost talking me out of it. I have done my background check on my doctor and his record is spotless, no complaints, no lawsuits. He came highly recommended and I've seen and love his work. Please I need some insight and help.

Is $11,000.00 too much. The insurance will pay...

For this same exact reason I told no one about my procedure because I didn't want anyone talking me out of it or giving me their negatice opinions. Your friend is just hatin because if she knows that you really desire this then she would be supportive even if she disagrees with you doing it.
I know its a really scary decision, but if you are in good health and want to do it. then Do It.. I myself did not loose any weight and I was not at an ideal weight but I also knew that I have no time to get to the weight I wanted to be and I just wanted the flab to be gone...
So do it.. YOu have to be selfish sometimes.
I have read that if you're heavier, your chances for complications are somewhat elevated. If you're not planning on losing a lot of weight after the tummy tuck (and possibly undoing what's been done), I think that higher risk of complications would be the only con.
As far as your friend goes, she doesn't have to live in your body, you do! I would say to limit your conversations with her and/or ask her to drop her "agenda" when she communicates with you. She needs to be supportive.
You can love yourself and still get something on your body fixed.
As far as age goes, I've seen tons of women in their fifties getting a tummy tuck, so, as long as you're healthy, I wouldn't worry about that.
Please let us know what you decide! Sending you very much virtual support.
Hi Ms Cee and welcome to RealSelf!
I am glad you joined in on our group:) First of all you are not too old, you do deserve this and if you are healthy go for it.
I am not sure what your ideal weight is listed as; but the closer you are to your ideal weight the better results you will have. Plus it lowers any surgical complications. Sounds like you are on the right track and have a little time before your procedure.
Be cautious in who you tell because you will find there are many haters out there. They will try to smack you down and make you feel guilty. You shouldn't feel guilty at all because you deserve this. Stick with the positive people and that will help you through this process.
If you have any questions just log on . You will find that all of the women on here are very supportive and share many good tips. We will make you laugh and feel good about what you are doing.
Keep posting!!
You're surely not to old, I'm 50 and my surgery is April 11th. I have people always telling I'm small even my husband I don't think I am. I'm 133lb but I guess with this big belly I can't get pass it. Well some of my friends I've shown my stomach and all they would say is oh or I wish my stomach was that size. But if they were this size they probably feel like me. I know we are our worst critics but that's how I feel. I also say as long as my husband don't have a problem with my tt who cares what the rest think I know I don't . If I wasn't married I really would care less what they think you're the one that have to see your tummy all the time not them. Girl do yo thang.
