WORTH IT$7,000
I am so excited! I chose June 30 because of summer break. I can't expect to walk the little ones to school right after surgery.
This surgery is something I've wanted for about 11 years now. I was 19 when I had my first daughter and gained 60 lbs. that never came off fully. The next two were 20lb. gains that were almost all baby and water weight. I've been 190-200lbs. for a long time now and I'm 4'11". I have PCOS and once the weight's on it's tough to get off. I'm not trying to make excuses either. I like cake! PCOS just makes it a bit harder.
I chose Dr. Herve Gentile for my surgery. I like his conservative style on his before and after pictures. I think he can best understand me when I ask for my new body.
I'll get some photos up hopefully today.
Good luck everyone!

Hi there!! I hear ya about the PCOS weight struggle! I also have PCOS and I'm in the process of trying to get down to 200 before I schedule my tummy tuck consult. I've got 14 lbs to go :) Best of luck with your procedure! Can't wait for updates!!

Hi Ajh, PCOS sucks!!! The weight comes on like nothing but you have to work your butt off for it to get back down. I'm a bit discouraged right now. I went for a second opinion and was told I need a crap ton of Lipo plus an extended tummy tuck to look "normal." I'm afraid I'm gonna end up paying tons of money and not being happy. I'm ready to just say forget it and not have the surgery. UGH!

Oh no!! That's very frustrating! I haven't scheduled my consult yet. Trying to lose another 13 pounds but it isn't coming off very easily :( I'm hoping I don't hear the same thing! I've got quite a bit of abdominal fat that I just can't lose along with the saggy skin. I posted pics in a thread on here so I can keep track of my progress. Maybe you can lose a little extra weight and not have to have so much lipo. I'm pretty sure I will have to have an extended tummy tuck too because of my muscle repair that I need. Have to wait to find out :(

We have similar stats but I am 5' 3" and I have been stuck for years, I am in pretty good shape and active. I often have to buy my jeans to accommodate my belly. It saddens me. I hope for a day where I am flat and confident :) all the best to you!
