$5,500

I'm 43, 5'1, and weigh 140 lbs. I'm getting the BBL and TT. I carry most of my weight in my mid section. I can't wear the shirts and dresses that I like. I decided since I needed a change. I want the hour glass shape and a nice butt. I'm a single parent of a 16, 18, and 23 year old. I figured since I've worked this hard raising them and giving them what they needed, it's time for me to get mine.

I will pay my deposit in late February and schedule at a later date. The deposit will hold my spot for a year. My price includes everything but airfare and a passport. Three nights in the hospital and 5 nights at the resort. I'm taking this also as a mini vacation. I have been reading the posts on here and I'm very excited for everyone. I want to wish everyone he best on whatever procedure they choose and Good Luck.

Lovely, when are you having your surgery done? I got quotes from Thailand for $3700 without air fare. But I was afraid to go out of the US just in case anything happen, then I would be SOL. So I have decided to take my chances in the US. Do you have any before pictures? I will be posting mines shortly in my page.

And when are you getting yours done. Yes, I have before pics. I will post them too. I would like to stick in the US because if I go outside, there's no one to go with me. I would take my chances either way.

I will be getting mines done on February 16, 2012. Some days, I am scared as hell and want to call it off, but then some days I am excited and feel like I wanted to go now. All my fat is in my mid section, and once this is gone, I will probably wear a size 10. I have to buy bigger jeans to fit the waiste, so once that waiste is gone, then I guess I can wear my normal size.

Yeah, I hold everything in my mid section, it's just pitful. Your date is right around the corner. I'm excited for you and being nervous is normal i'm sure.

No smileykam, I am getting mine done in Miami. I am scheduled for February 16, 2012. I got my lab results back yesterday and everything is okay. My doctor is Dr. Salama in Miami

I haven't decided yet. Then this morning I was given another quote from Salama. Either doc I choose I will pay my deposit in February. Who is the doc in Thailand and what are you getting done? That's a great price.

Sorry, I don't know what happened to my update above. Anyway, I'm still searching. I received another quote from Salama at the Miami office for $6800. I'm still waiting on two more quotes from Costa Rica and Columbia. I also received one from Dr. Rufino Ruiz M.D. for $5200. So I'm still debating.

So what is pre op? Is that the lab work or no? Or registration? I will still need to buy garments, lab work, and hotel....if I pick him.

The pre-op is like the consultation, they can change for that, but most doctor's doing plastic surgery dont charge for it as in incentive to their patient. You can get your own garment, I choose to get another one at makemeheal.com for 59.00. I believe theirs is for 120.00. Some people tell me that they offer them pick up at the airport. I am renting my own car so I can get around, you know eating, visiting friends etc.
