Okay, this is totally out of the norm for me. I am a private person and I don't like to share my business (like so many others). This decision is very scary and exciting for me. After reading and researching soo many reviews, I decided that I would share my experience, like many other TT patients have. Who knows, something I say might help another person step out on faith and make a life changing decision.

I have a tummy tuck and upper and lower eye lid surgery scheduled for Oct -17th. Exciting and scary at the same time. Feel guilty about taking the money out of my IRA account. I hope it will be all worth it.

Don't feel guilty but don't go broke in the process, lol. I did the same thing but I still have plenty of cushion. This was a long time coming and I'm finally ready to do something for me. I've been a great wife, mother and grandmother. And I have my families full support!

Slight change in the plans...

Sherry1024
Several days have gone by with some new changes. I received a call from my doctor telling me that he wished to do my surgery at the Hospital instead of his new surgical center. This is because I have incisional mesh from a C-section and incisional endometriosis. I can't complain because he was extremely thorough in his physical assessment. He even asked to see the surgical notes from my old surgeries. No other plastic surgeon took the time to really question me and my husband. On the other hand, doing the surgery at the hospital increases the cost significantly. I'm hopping it's all worth it in the end. I would rather be safe than sorry. I'm so looking forward to a new version of me ! I'm 5'6 at 163lbs down from 175lbs. Hoping to get down to 157lbs by surgery date.

I am hoping to loose more weight too. I'm 5'4 and 148. I was told at the Clinic where the procedure is being done that they want a BMI to be no more than 25%.

Yep. My doctor told me the more wight off the better the results. So I'm trying to get it in over the next 6 weeks. It's hard because I love food and wine. But I will do what's necessary because I want to be in the best health going into the procedure.

Sorry I just saw this message nikkky! My Dr practices out of St Elizabeth's but the hospital increased the pricing. So now he performs His surgeries at the Boston Center.
