I will be securing my date after I return from vacation in April. I'm planning for a March 2014 surgery date and I have selected Dr. Davoudi as my PS. I'm so excited and patience is truly a virtue in this case. I have chosen to wait because I plan to pay for my surgery without financing and it will be better for my schedule as well.

Thank you so much. That is sweet and it eases my mind. I'm so excited and hate that I have to wait. If I had the money saved today I'd do it in a heartbeat. Next march can't get here soon enough!!!

I was lucky that my Mother gifted me some money to pay for my TT and the PS office had a cancellation so I'm getting in real soon after making the decision which is great. Maybe by waiting you will be very prepared and ready for the surgery in every way.

Ok ladies I need your thoughts. I have been addicted to this site since I found it. I've had my consultation, have selected my PS and decided that I would begin making payments towards my procedure when I returned from vacation. Well tomorrow is that day and although I'm excited because I can't think about anything but a TT I am second guessing myself now. I'm the person that buys something for myself and end up taking it back. always deciding that I didn't really need it. And then there's the fact of having 4 children and feeling a sense of guilt for even thinking about spending that type of $ on myself. Have any of you struggled with those thoughts and how have you dealt with it. I'm saving to pay cash and have estimated that I will have it paid by the end of this year. In my mind if I were able to finance it I wouldn't feel so horrible. Just venting and hoping to gain some insight and advice. Thanks!!

I finally paid my deposit and scheduled my date. 12/5. And the countdown begins. My husband isn't supportive at all but I am committed and ready.

My Hubby also isn't very supportive (but he'll get over it bcuz this is for me!) He's having Insecurity issues and thats understandable...I've been insecure also. Thats why I'm making a change :) I'll also be paying cash which I feel will make me appreciate my New body more because of the sacrifice I've made to make this happen. I'm very secure with choosing Dr. Davoudi and I'll try my best to keep U informed as on my journey! I wish U the Best chic! Just keep saving that paper and stay positive!! Soon You'll be on the Flat Side!

We have very similar situations. My hubby mentioned insecurity and concern for any additional attention. That isn't a concern for me. I just want to be comfy with myself and I know that this is something I am 100% sure I want to do.

Since you are scheduled for the end of the year, how far in advanced do you think I should I get a consultation from Dr. Davoudi? I would like to have my tummy tuck procedure done by March of 2014 ..

I was originally planning for March 2014 but worked out my savings plan to have it in December. I'd say go ahead and get your consult out of the way at least by Sep and pay your deposit if you decide to go with dr. Davoudi.

I am so very sorry to hear that your husband isn't being supportive, but please don't let that discourage you. It sounds like you are always so selfless in your giving and it is okay to want this for yourself. You're planning and saving for it in a very responsible way, and this is a change that will really affect and improve your self-esteem. I'm sure he's complaining now, but when it's done I'm sure he'll love your new slim shape (even if he has to admit it begrudgingly). This is exactly why I kept thanking my boyfriend, friends, and family for their support throughout the process because I know there are people out there who don't have everyone behind them 100%. So that's where we come in (your tummy tuck sisters here! ^_^). I've said, for so many years now, that this is the one "selfish" thing I have wanted, and in my opinion that is more than okay. We have sacrificed our bodies to have our wonderful little angels and I don't think it is too much to ask to want it to be repaired. =) I will be rooting for you as each month passes and you get closer and closer to your surgery day!

Wildflower. Thank you so much!! I really needed this encouragement. I'm so excited and impatient on most days. I can't stay off of this site. I love knowing that so many other women feel like I do ( my tummy tuck sisters :) and knowing that I'm not being selfish but making a decision for ME... Doing something for me!!
