So I finally got my approval letter for a line of credit today in the mail. I'm so excited and relieved because there is no way I would have been able to start this new journey. I'm a little nervous about the consultation next week just because I am so self conscious about the way my stomach looks. Does anyone have any tips or advice for me? I would love to hear everyone's experience meeting with their PS for the first time and what happened at the tummy tuck consult :) Thanks

Welcome to RealSelf.

Go into the consult with your list of questions written down.  You will forget things once you arrive. Don't be nervous just relax and know that this is your information gathering session.  Also please make sure that you are going for at least 3 consults before making your final decision.

I'm so happy I went to my consult today. I was nervous at first but when I walked in to the office and met the staff all of my nerves were put to rest. Even the PS that I met with was great, he took the time to answer all of my questions a concerns that I had. He knew exactly what I wanted without even mentioning it first. I really like this PS and I know that they say to meet with a few first but I don't think I want to after meeting him and being so comfortable with him. What do you guys think?

I'm so excited! I paid my deposit and set my surgery date for my tummy tuck with lipo for October 12th! I can't believe I'm going to finally get rid of this extra skin and stretch marks from having two wonderful 9lb babies 12 months and 6 days apart. It has been 6 years since I had my kids and I feel that they are old enough to make this process a little easier for me. I can't wait until this day comes :)

Difficult Decision - Houston, TX

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be one of those people that would ever have a Facelift. But, after years of not wearing sunscreen and smoking for over 20 years, my face was showing serious signs of abuse. My mind was made up when a very special lady in her late seventies at church said one of...

Where to start? I have three beautiful girls ranging in ages 28, 22, 15 years. Yes, I did say years. It has taken me this long to get the nerve to have surgery to get my sexy back. Although, if you were to ask my hubby he would say I never lost it. I am just over 5'3 and weigh about 135. I had breast reductio...

*Updated* My TT Journey plus BBL/Addtl lipo

I am 47 years old, married and have two daughters, ages 16 and 12. For quite a while now I have contemplated having a tummy tuck and I have finally worked up the nerve to start this journey.
