I plan on getting a tummy tuck in mid-spring of this year. For many years, I've debated with myself and finally come to the conclusion that I'd rather get one now, even if I may lose weight later in life and have to do it again, than stay this way. So far, I have had consults with 2 plastic surgeons. Dr. Campanile of Denver and Dr. Raskin of Colorado Springs. Below are my thoughts.

I'm sorry you had a bad consult with him.

It's ok. I schedule my tt tomorrow with Dr. C in Denver. I just feel that he had more experience with tummy tucks and he also has incredible results.

I'm also in Colorado! Ask doing my research on docs. Haven't fully gone the whole of even setting up an appointment.

I've decided to go with Dr. Campanile. My surgery date is next week. I'm excited. I did end up seeing 3 for consults. Dr. Smith was very compassionate and I do feel he was capable. But I like Dr. Cs method better. As far as price, Dr. C is more expensive but price isn't the major factor. My procedure is over 12k. I did get a little discount for paying in cash.

My fat body, 5 mos later

Dr. Raskin would recommend me to a gastric bypass doctor, not a plastic surgeon because I was too fat. I went in for a tummy tuck in March with Dr. Campanile is Denver. 5 months out and I'm very pleased. Dr. C was incredible. Below are the pictures. Please note, I still have residual swelling which will continue to go down.
