WORTH IT$18,300
After reading hundreds of reviews on this site, and researching surgeons in my area, i decided to go for it. I had my consultation today at the boston center. Filled out some paperwork and was in for the consultation within minutes. They were all so helpful and as soon as i met my doctor I knew it would be a good fit. He was experienced, knowledgable, kind, and did not try to persuade me into other procedures. he actually complimented my body and reminded me to hold realistic expectations. But also got me so excited by mentioning there will be quite a big difference, especially in my hips.... yahoo!!!!!!
As for scheduling and payment, his assistant Megan was SO NICE and HELPFUL! She was so warm and kind. I hit it off with her immediately. Her and the doctor informed me that the total cost of my procedure would be $8,392. It was over my 5,000 dollar budget, but the cost covers everything I want done and it just feels so right.
As we probably all are, I was so anxious to schedule it for as soon as possible!!! He does procedures mondays and wednesdays, and upon me begging for a nearby date, was able to fit me in THE NEXT DAY!!!!! I figured I need at least a week to prepare so I couldnt take it, but they had one available for 6 days from now (next monday.) I am SO excited.

Today I went and filled my 2 perscriptions: 1 antibiotic and 1 pain medication. I bought bandaids and antibacterial wipes.
Ill update and add pics the night before my surgery (sunday)!
Talk to you soon [RS bleep]

No. Isn't tuck for lose skin? I haven't got any, just a pooch on my lower abdomen. I'll save the tuck till I have children!

a couple updates....

so far I paid $5,000 but still have $3,392 to pay before surgery (I have to have it paid by this friday in order to secure my monday surgery.) I am waiting for my credit card to come in the mail and it might not be here by friday....which means the procedure will have to be pushed back until (hopefully) wednesday, which isnt too bad.... im just so ready!!!

im not telling ANYONE im having this surgery (besides one of my friends who is my escort back home after surg). Meaning my roommate and boyfriend wont know.... they just wont be seeing much of me for about a week! lol! I just dont want to be judged...these are areas that have been affecting my life negatively for so long (since 5th grade) and wont budge no matter how much i excercise and lose weight! I am planning to tell bf and family (wont see family til around thanksgiving so thats good) that i just joined a gym and am working out and eating good. its my body, my money, my decision, and i dont feel i need to let these people know. But thats just me. Im sure my boyfriend will notice a HUUUGE difference when i dont have the love handles, fat rolls, and linebacker arms... but i'm sure i can attribute it to excercise and i dont think he'll pry.

ANYWAY.....now tht i got that off my chest.... i emailed my doc today to ask how much it will cost to add my jawline/double chin to the list of areas i want done. he wants me to stop in tomorrow or friday. I love how easy he makes it. My face is one area that has gone through a drastic difference even when im up 5 pounds my face will balloon. I want him to remove this fat so it will be gone for good! (I plan on a major lifestyle change after surg. exercise, and eating right!) it makes such a huge difference on me when my face isnt so chubby and you can see my jawline. I want my defined jawline back! I miss it!!!

I will update once i go consult with doc about cost of adding jawline to the mix....... i'll have everything paid off and will have made a decision regarding adding this area or not.

Look forward to keeping you guys updated!!! I just wish i knew exactly when my procedure is!!! Grrrr credit card needs to come faster !

One more thing!

RSMember4997
I forgot to mention! Along with this surgery i intend to improve other areas of myself as well. ive been struggling with crippling low self esteem my whole life and it has gotten bad lately. Therapy, antidepressants, meditation, prayer, all work only to a certain degree. Im taking the rest in to my own hands FINALLY! and improving the areas of my(exterior)self (and interior but thats another blog for another site.....lol!) that I have always been self conscious about.

As I mentioned before, once Ive recovered enough from the surgery, I am going to begin eating clean and excercising daily. I hope to slim my legs on my own through hard work! :)
I also will be making an appointment to get a japanese straightening treatment done to my hair shortly after my surgery. ive totally fried my hair by trying to straighten it with an iron everyday since 6th grade! I just want to get out of the shower and let it dry naturally. So worth it!
I'm going to get eyelash extensions and continue to get them filled. I love the look and this is something ive wanted for a long long time. i found places to get them done for cheap :) Most celebrities have lash extensions, too.
Lastly....start wearing my retainer to bed and straighten out these teeth again! they arent crooked but they tend to shift if i go without my retainer for a while. I purchased crest white strips and want to get them crisp white once i have my new body.

i believe after all these finishing touches i will be so satisfied. I am doing this for ME! and ONLY me! i cant wait to feel sexy again for the first time in YEARS!!!!!

Please no hate, no judgement. This is the only place I can let these thoughts and plans out, so just nice comments only :]]
