I've been every size between 0 and 14...currently about a size 8, 5'0" tall 132 lbs (hit the gym hard the past couple weeks and lost 4lbs / 1.5 inches off the tummy ...wooohooo!!)....and no matter what size I am, I still have a protruding, wrinkly looking belly....even more wrinkly when I lose weight. I've looked into having procedures done in the past, but not nearly as intently as I have these past couple of weeks. This is the first time I've actually gone as far as to have a consultation....which was a bit confusing (and the reason why I have a review for liposuction) but I'll explain in a bit. So my goal is to have a "Smooth, Flat Hourglass Tummy"....that's its official name!! I have a friend who is really supportive (she's having SmartLipo done soon and she's probably the reason I've gone so far this time....she motivated me instead of hating on the idea of it...I love that....let me do whatever I see fit to make my body look the way I'd like it to...I mean I am the one who has to walk around in it for my entire life!!!) Besides her, I've told my beau....he's somewhat supportive! He feels like I can exercise and eat right (which I've been more consistent with doing over the past couple weeks) and it'll go away. I'll show him...once I lose some inches and the flab is still there, he'll see. All in all he says whatever makes me happy so he'll get with the program in time. I'm thinking I'll have a tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks and bra roll. I am exercising to lose some weight pre-op because I want the best results ever!! I want to wear whatever I'd like to wear without needing Spanx or holding my stomach in for dear life! To wear a bikini without a coverup is my biggest dream!!! hahaha

Congratulations on your decision! I think that this procedure will look awesome on you based on your body type! When is the big date?

I'm thinking not until late February - early March...and thank you...I'm focusing on getting my body to optimal pre-op condition so I can have the best results and hopefully an easier recovery. We shall see. I've got a couple more consultations scheduled this week and next...once I figure out who I'll go with I'll hopefully schedule a date.

I feel exactly the same way! Lipo is not an option, it will only leave loose skin that's how I came to my decision on having a TT done). I recently moved from ATL to Louisiana and the cost for TT increases dramatically! My cost is 900 dollars more than yours for Dr. Cochran, did you need muscle repair? Our tummies are nearly identical lol I am a gym bunny, I'm boxing and kickboxing 5 days a week. It feels like you are telling my story.

You moved to Louisiana?! That's where I'm from!!!! Metairie...right outside New Orleans...what part?

I am having muscle repair...when did you get your quote? I feel like the prices change depending on the season. When will you be going in? I've got 43 days! February 29....it's cool to have someone to follow with the same body type...glad to connect.

Actually I'm from Amite,Louisiana. The military brought me to Georgia for almost 10 years. I now reside in Slidell. I just got my quote a week ago, I was planning on scheduling in April, but I've been shopping around to find a affordable price with great results. Dr Cochran is the most affordable by far but the drive home is what I'm worried about.

So I've decided to go with Dr. Thomas A. Cochran. I had three consultations and he met both my most important requirements: 1. He does a great job and 2. At a great price. I'm shooting for February and I don't know if I can live with this anxiety for that long, but I'm sure time will fly.
