Hey RealSelf world. So just started reasearching this whole plastic surgey world about 8 months ago and I've gotten really serious about 5 weeks ago. I've been consistently gaining weight over the past year. I've never really gotten back to my pre pregnancy size and my oldest will be 15 in october. I have 9year old twins. That pregnancy really stretched my stomach out of proportion. I said to myself if I didnt have another child by age 35 then operation tummy tuck would comence. I went in for a consult witha NY PS and was told I'd need muscle repair along with the TT. I was quoted $6100. Way more than i want to spend. That's why I am now researching surgey out of the states. I am currently 5'10 and 275. I want to lose at least 50-60 pounds before surgery. I really like Dr. Almonte's work. I have gotten quotes and consults via email/whatsapp from several other doctors. Its so hard to choose they all do great work. Any tips on weightloss, and any surgery realated topics... I am all ears! Thanks for taking time to read this post!

I was going to Robles initially, but her recent patient's death scared me a lil. I know it happens, but it still scared me enough to switch doctors

So it's official. I am definitely gonna have my surgery Dr. Almonte. In my opinion her tummy tuck incisions are flawless. The TT is most important to me.

Got my hemo levels back today and they are 13.1 w/o building them. I want to be at 15 before surgery.

How are you all coming along with your journeys?!
