WORTH IT$3,120
I have been wanting a tummy tuck since i was 18 after my first child. I gained 69 pounds with each pregnancy and my second child was breach. The stretch marks and saggy belly I really dont care to live with forever so i decided to get the procedure done by a resident at my local hospital because thats what i can afford at this time and they are supervised by a surgeon. I just paid for the procedure yesterday after lots of second guessing but im going thru with it 21 days to go!

Best of luck to you... I am sure you asked the resident lots of questions (how many has he/she done before, where the incision will be and where on each side will it stop will it stop, etc.) will the surgeon be in the room while procedure is happening? I truly believe that it's not about how much the procedure costs but the skill of the performer. Thanks for posting the before pics ... again, good luck to you.

A resident seem like a great idea. My twins were born with a resident dr and he did a great job with incision for my csection. What hospital U going to. I think I will look into it for myself.
