Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Started a new review/story

I just never seem to have time to sit and write an update, but I really want to track this next phase of my journey. I think it is important for me to be able to look back on, but also for anyone that might read it and gain some insight. I know that I have been helped my many of the stories I have read here.

So, I posted last that I have my surgery booked... and it is just so hard to believe that it is just around the corner! Everything is in place, and now I just have to wait... oh, and pack.

After much research, I decided to go to Colombia to have my surgeries, with Dr. Alex Campbell and Dr. Dr. Carolina Restrepo at http://premiumcareplasticsurgery.com

I will be getting an extended tummy tuck/body lift, inner thigh lift, and BOOBS! also know as a breast argumentation. I just like saying BOOBS! I will be there for about 14 days, and then home for a few weeks before I go back to work.

future updates will be on my new review....

ack

I was typing a rather long post about surgery... and it is GONE!
:-P~~~~

ok, well, I will try again another day because I am TIRED tonight.
( was really excited last night and didn't sleep)

Long story short... 03/01

I AM HAVING MY SURGERY

Finally moving forward on sink removal

insurance wont pay for removing the excess skin, and trying to save $20,000 feels next to impossible.

So I have made the decision to go out of country. It looks like it is between Dominican Republic, and Colombia. It is amazing that I am looking at being able to do this within the next 3 months. OMG! I will do more updates soon as I gather information.

Oh... the cost... for a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur de lis in the DC area $20,000 - includes hospital, anesthesiologist, and surgery...

my quotes so far... including the above, and my plate ticket, 2 weeks in a recovery house, meals, nursing, meds, lymphatic massages... $7500

Dr. Veninga and his entire staff are amazing. From my 1st appointment they were very caring. He sat down with me and talked with me for almost an hour during the consult. He made sure he answered everything, and gave me a lot of details and options. I can honestly say that they saved my life. He also did my gallbladder surgery because I knew I would be in good hands.
