I been stalking this website day in and day for about a month. I am so torn between doctors and procedures. Breast Reduction, tummy tuck, liposuction after affects ... IDK. Good reviews, bad reviews, customer services, cost, time, pain, meds and scared as hell. Oh my, Anxiety! Anyone else have similar issues.

Do you mind me asking the total price, and your height and weight? Your results are fantastic.

Hi Tick and Juicy, Thank you. Dr. O did a phenomenal job! I went to my dermatologist and she saw the scar and was asking me questions about him. She said he did a great job as well. I can't wait for the final results. I paid $7300. His prices go up and down. I think I saw $5900 on the website a few weeks ago. I am 5'7 225...

MrsMommyMakeover, well you look amazing! I'm so jealous I'm 5 foot but weigh 200lbs. I need to lose a lot of weight before they will consider me. Another obstacle is the funds. I've dreamed of having a nice tummy smaller breasts and some hips for as long as I could remember, but it is just too expensive for me. One day I will have my dream body, but until then I will live through you all. :-)

I needed to loose weight too. I was up to 250. I lost 25 pounds and I think my build helped slip through the cracks. Most of my weight is in my thighs (Thunder thighs). Just start walking. I would walking 3 1/2 miles every Saturday & Sunday(way to busy during the week). I started eating more veggies and watching my calorie intake and carbs. I also incorporated ginger and lemon blend 30 minutes before each. This will help you lose weight fast. Go on you tube and search ginger and lemon detox.

Money,
They have several ways to pay. I booked my surgery 6 months in advance and made paymen's toward when I got paid. Financing is another option. Or you can put money away. This is a big investment and well worth it. Save your money! I don't regret a penny spent.

I feel the same way :) Funds are an issue, and so is the weight! Ugh... For now we'll be their cheerleaders. But our time is coming! :)

I'm up in limbo, my husband don't want me to do. Unfortunately, I'm not doing it for him. Am I wrong for not entertaining him? Once I put something in my head to do, no one can change my mind. Not even him! He don't like the scar; I don't either. But, I can't have it all. I'm sure when it is all said and done he will understand. At least I hope so.

I can't imagine being in your position; support is so important. If you choose to follow through worth YOUR dreams, who will care for you during recovery?

I do hope you find some resolution.

Nervous As Hell

I'm back it's been a while. So, I'm nervous as hell my surgery is in less than a month and I am getting scared. Really thinking about pushing my date back. I'm sooooo ready for a flat stomach and perky breast. But also so nervous.

Meanwhile looking for some advice on things I should start preparing for... Suggestions are needed.
