Have Consult 10/22/12 - Florida

So I had a consult with my local PS here in Tallahassee today, Dr. Kirbo. He has a great bedside manner and took a lot of time with me to explain everything and answer all my questions. He said I would def see some results with lipo alone, but he recommend the TT if I wanted a flat stomach. He said he could lipo my arms, my chin and my back in addition to the TT. I am looking at about $3,000 grand more than I had originally thought, but I will work that out. I am nervous about the scar and all the extra pain/recovery time that will come with doing a TT vs. lipo, but .... I think it will give me the results I want. That said, I am going to keep my consult appt with the PS in Orlando on the 22nd and see what he recommends. Once I talk to him and decide what I want to do, I will prob schedule it for sometime in January. Def don't want to be down and out during the holidays. And I still have to figure out how to tell my mother I am doing this. I might be 33 years old, but she is still not going to be happy! :)

Sorry about all the typos on the last post - I did it on my iPhone & the autocorrect took on a life of its own!! I desperetly want to fix the typo's, but it won't let me. I really am more literate than the last post would lead you to believe. :)

Well I am amazed by how much info is on this sight. It's invaluable. That said I'm a little overwhelmed. Funny, I came here thinking I knew what I wanted & now I'm so confused. I'm 5'5 & 33. I weigh about 180. I had my child 12 years ago & got my body back afterwards, but bad eating habits and age have taken its toll. I came in to this convinced I knew e dry thing and would be doing smart lipo. I REALLY wanted to avoid going under if at all possible. After doing some reasrch on here I decided the doctor I used was prob more important then the type of lipo I did ... I decided I liked Dr. Soto. But he's in Orlando & I'm in Tallahassee. He does the Vaser which our local PS (who I like a lot) doesn't do. So I made my consult appt with Dr. Soto in Orlando for 10/22/12. But as I keep doing research I fear I might hae to do a TT to get the results I want. I want my stomach/flank area done, my arms, my chin, & my bra roll. My thighs could use some, but I am less bothered by them. So I'm thinking will Vaser lipo give me the results I want? I'm only planning on doing this once - I'd hater to go Vaser only to realize I should ave gotten the TT. But oh he recovery tieme and drais, etc. that go with a TT - I'm freaked out. Thankfully, I'm more vain then scared so ... I'll mee win Dr. Soto in Orlando & see what e recommends. If he says TT - I'll prob do it here in Tallahassee with Dr. Kirbo.

I'd love your thoughts, suggestions, stories. Anything tht might help me get some more insight to help make this decision.
