Hello, I am a 25 yr old mother of two amazing kids...

WORTH IT$11,000

Hello, I am a 25 yr old mother of two amazing kids (6&3). My story is pretty much the same as everyone else. Except I have been chunky pretty much all my teen/adult life until about a year ago. I decided to start phentermine and have successfully lost 30 lbs , starting at 180. I'm about 5'2 so still heavier than what I should be, but much better than where I began. So losing this weight has transformed my stomach from bad to worse. For some reason I thought losing the weight would improve my stomach, but it did the complete opposite. I found this site and it really made my gears move a lot faster in researching and deciding if this procedure is for me. I went for a consultation about a month ago and was recommended a full TT with lipo of the flanks, lower and upper back along with fat transfer to the butt since I am pretty flat. I was quoted 13k including garments, anesthesia administered by an actual md vs. a nurse, post op lymphatic massages. So after a few weeks of thinking it over and wondering if all this money was worth it, my husband and I decided to do it. I went today and made my deposit and booked my date. I don't feel excited yet, so lets see how these next two months go. I look forward to any tips, advice on these two procedures and how much everyone has spent. I feel like 13k is pricey. Thanks !
