Ugh

Okay so I had my first consult. The doctor explained the procedure told me that he would try his best to use the same scar as my c-section. He does do lipo but only on flank/hip area and said I might still have a little extra fat after tuck since the bulge above my belly isn't getting lipo, so I might have to go back which I wasn't thrilled about. He seemed nice but very old school. His price for the tummy tuck was over $7000, $3000 of the was the surgery center and anesthesia. My appt was at 1:00 and he didn't see me till 2:15. Not sure if them running late or not. I asked about lovenox to prevent blood clots, he said that he wasn't against using them but didnt feel comfortable prescribing he would want me to go see a hemotolgist to get there opinion. ( I have no history and no risk factors except the surgery) so it would only be for preventative measures. So I kinda felt weird about that. I did ask him about possibly getting larger implants total cost was over $14,000.. He seemed expensive. My fiend just had a mini tuck, lipo of flanks and silicone implants and her total was $9100 and she looks great. I seeing her surgeon in August..hope that goes better

Okay ladies my consultation is coming up soon and of course I seem to be nervous. My friend had a mini tuck and breat augmentation with the PS i'm seeing on August 6th, She has nothing but good things to say about him and Ive seen his work and she looks great. What impressed me even more was last week she was having this weird pain in her back, she wrote him an email within 30 minutes he wrote her back and they tried to call her on her cell phone (we work in a hospital so she wasnt getting reception). So she wrote him and gave him our work number and within 10 minutes he called her at work..while he was on vacation in California. That to me shows a lot about what kind of doctor he is.

There seems to be so many things running through my head, I'm taking off three weeks from work, and I should have help those whole three days. After that i plan on returning to work but my big concern is getting my 1 year old in and out of the car. I know he will be able to walk on his own by then (he's almost 7 months now) but on the days that my husband works (he's a firefighter so he works 24hrs) how I'm gonna get kids in the car to drop my oldest to school. My 3 year old can get in and out so it will only be my 1 year old that will be the issue.

Has anyone else have an issue with there inlaws knowing what there doing? They help out with the kids while there at work but I really dont want to sound selfish that I spent 7000.00 when we have three kids to put through college..Any advice??
