Hi Nik I just had a consultation with Lenox Hill on October 8th, if you want a earlier consultation just call and ask to be put on the list for cancellations. The receptionist called me on Thursday and told me that she had a cancellation for Oct. 8th. I enjoyed the consultation the resident was very knowledgeable and the staff was friendly.
October 12, 2012

@evavelez Glad to that you were able to be seen today at Lenox. I had a consult there as well in October but I was quoted more than $3500, can you provide me with the break down cost for your procedure? Also, does that price include lipo?
December 7, 2012
omg thats great!!! im soooooo happy for you..3500 is great what kind of questions did you ask her and how long will she be at lenox hill bc i think after three mos they leave..i hope i get the same doctor as you...i want my tummy tuck done in feb too i would say like the middle of feb....im not going to lie im super nervous! but i want this so bad i think about it every day smh im just happy we are doing this together so i feel alot better :)
December 7, 2012
@micstayce right now she just quoted me for tt with out lipo she said she dont think I need lipo if I lose the 10lbs now if I dont lose the weight by jan 24th I might need the lipo the price covers the anesthesia n tt. She said she will give me the break down on jan... how much did they quote you? N what are you getting done?
December 7, 2012
Im super nervous as well but we have to make this happen so we could look great :) are u planning on staying over night in the hospital or going home the same day? Im thinking on doing it on the 3rd week of feb. Im glad we doing it together as well :)
December 7, 2012
okay now i understand why its 3500 my ass is going to need lipo and i want my boobs done..lol
December 7, 2012
You had mention you thinking of implants sre you planning of getting it done in feb as well now that scares me more becuz my boobs are always hurting lol but im sure it would look great on you :)

Hi @evavelez Quote breakdown: tt is 800.00 lipo (full) is $1000 hospital fee is $1600 NY surcharge is $328.00 and anesthesiologist fee is $1200 with a grand total of $4877.42. Now the $4800 is not bad but when you add the $1200 hospital fee and photo fee $160.00 that is why takes me over my current affordable price.
December 7, 2012
yes im thinking about it .. if she give me a good price than i will do both i just cant wait im tired of talking about it im tired of stalking this website i just want it over with my friends that i did tell think im crazy n just do the lipo.. oh did they take cash or money order?
December 7, 2012
hey micstayce damn girl that is alot maybe because of the full lipo? and 1200 is alot for a over night stay at the hospital but if it worth it than go for it. i want my boobs done too but if it to much imma just get the tummy tuck...
User Avatar
December 7, 2012
@nik 1705 LOL, I understand. I am obessed with this website :). Stalking....lol (funny).I believe they accept both also cashier check.
December 7, 2012
@Micstayce that is a lot. I shouldve asked if we have an option to go home the same day or is it recommended for us to spend the night. I have a friend that got the tt done n she went home the same day. She didnt have her surgery in lenox hill tho. Im gonna try to upload my before pictures later on today.
December 7, 2012
Nik I think I need lipo as well lol.. she said I dont need it but I think I do im gonna try to upload pics later so you could c.

No I prefer to stay escpecially since I will coming from Maryland. I will be getting my surgery done at NYEE. I will also upload pics this evening.
December 8, 2012
How much is NYEE charging for overnight stay?
User Avatar
December 9, 2012
@evavelez You have two options: 1st overnight hospital fee is $1000 and 2nd is a hotel with nurse (you have to find and book your own hotel within the area of the hospital and a nurse will be provided for you (for a fee but not sure what that fee is))
December 7, 2012
Im staying over night im a big ass baby when it comes to pain did she you can stay or go home bc yes 3500 it great but is that without the stay ?
December 8, 2012
She said she will give me the breakdown next visit im sure the over night stay is not included in the 3500.. knowing me im a baby as well when it comes to pain I say ill come home then change my mind n stay over night lol

December 8, 2012
@evavlez the overnight is required at Lennox....I love the idea but why does the stay have to cost so much
December 7, 2012

How did everything go with the consult?

December 8, 2012

You can do it girl!!!   It's best to drop the weight before surgery so that you have better results.  Trust me..I have been there!
