37 YO Mother of 2, BA/BL TT/MR (Mommy Makeover) - London, GB travelling to Belgium

I'm currently researching prices and companies/surgeons for a breast augmentation and tummy tuck. I'm leaning towards the Belvedere Clinic in Kent as it's not in Central London (hate going into town, I live in South East London) even though it's a longer car journey. The surgeons seem to have great reputations and I would like a consultation with Dan Marsh but I can't find many reviews on him. Has anyone had surgery performed by him? I know Mr Ghali and Mr Joffily are also surgeons under Belvedere but Mr Marsh's experience and stats seems better suited to me as I want under muscle implants and possibly a lift as well as a moderate tummy tuck.

I'm very thorough with research and after looking into Transform, My Breast, MYA etc I keep going back to look at Belvedere. I trust my instincts so have sent an email for a consultation request so who knows, I may change my mind after I've been there!

I'm apprehensive for many reasons but the main one is that I suffer from Fibromyalgia and after complications during lung surgery in 2014 which almost killed me and an extremely long recovery, I've never been the same so going under the knife, by choice, isn't filling me with happy thoughts. Mr Marsh seems to have a sympathetic demeanor from what I've found online and with my medical history I really need someone who will take all of of it into consideration and be gentle with me.

I don't know ladies, I've got so many emotions running through me, but this is something that I've wanted for over 10 years and I'm now finally financially able to do so, I'm excited at the prospect of not hiding my body from my husband and to not look at my body in disgust every single day. Yet, I've already been to hell and back from surgery that was to save my life and the prospect of going through that again just to look better, just fills me with doubt.

Are there any Fibromyalgia sufferers here that have had cosmetic surgery?

Anyone had any contact with Dan Marsh?

If anyone can help me out, I'd be ever so grateful.

If I was braver, I would document my journey on YouTube as the ladies that have already done so have been a huge help to me and it would be nice to give back, but it's just a bit too personal for me to share that way.

Kudos to all who have taken the leap and had their bodies put the way they want it to be, you are all inspiration for me.

I've spoken to the manager at Belvedere Clinic and she has recommended that I go for surgery with a company that is within an actual hospital due to the medication I'm on and so that overnight care would be possible.

So now I'm looking into BMI Healthcare and Transform. So far they seem quite expensive but I don't think I have much choice. I've considered going to Belgium, but post op care is a huge concern. I could stay in Belgium for a week so that I could attend the first post op appointment but what then?

I've read so many stories where ladies have said their post op appointments were a waste of time because all that happened is that they get told everything is fine which took less than 5 mins and had pics taking for the after shots!

Decisions, decisions :-(

Done some research and have decided to try Dr Oelbrandt in Belgium. His reviews are really good and the fact that consultation and followup appointments are with him in London takes a weight off my mind. I have sent an email to his assistant explaining my Fibromyalgia and that I would like breast augmentation and mini tummy tuck so fingers crossed they will accept me for a consultation.
