Unexpectedly Starting Over with New PS for New Body and More Confidence
ORIGINAL POST
So I figured I would start over with a new review...
WORTH IT$6,812
So I figured I would start over with a new review as originally I was scheduled for August 16, 2017 with Dr. Cochran of Columbus GA. Dr. C unexpectedly passed away. Many of us were left wondering what to do after this happened. I realized that it was back to the drawing board for me with my research. I initially considered using Dr. Pagadala who is located in the same office that Dr. C worked out of however I just didn't feel that he was right for me. My hunt lead me to a few reviews and comments regarding the name Dr. Song. I had never heard of him but started to look into any info that I could find. I found that I did like what I saw and decided to give his office a call. Everyone was so nice and sympathetic to the situation of losing my original PS. They offered to have me to email them my photos , details regarding my weight, height, etc and also info regarding the procedures that I was interested in. I received a response the very next day that Dr. Song would be happy to do my surgery. The cost was a little higher than what I would've paid with Dr. C however I was pretty comfortable with my decision after the reviews, long phone calls and tons of questions that were answered for me by his office. I paid the required deposit immediately over the phone and set up my pre op consultation. I was lucky enough to snag a surgery date that opened up for Aug 3.

5 days pre
Just a few more days till Flat Tummy Time
Sooooo I cant believe that I'm down to the less than a week mark.
I met with Dr Song 2 days ago and it was great.
He didn't hesitate in telling me what he felt about my decision and the results I would receive. I loved the honesty. I also loved that he took me step by step through the process. So now with less than a week left. I have to put my Amazon Prime to work and order supplies. I also need to start looking for a faja. I plan to have one ready so that as soon as those drains are removed I will be wearing that thing faithfully. I'm having TT, MR, and Lipo in abdomen, flanks and inner thighs. Any recommendations for a good Faja is appreciated. Oh and I was psyched that Ive lost 6 pounds in about a week. Not sure how much in the last couple of months. OMG can I get down about 5 more before this surgery. We will see.

Hello! I will be meeting Dr. Song for a consultation Aug 4. I sent my pictures in and paid a deposit, but I still wanted to meet him face to face. Dr. Cochran was my original PS also. I had some concerns about my quote for other wok I would like done that seemed extremely high so I wanted to meet him and talk face to face hoping there was some error in why adding inner thigh lipo would cost an extra over $2,000. But, I had looked at Dr. Song before and may have mentioned him to you. I can't wait to see your results.

Great, he is very nice and so was his staff. I will tell you that they provided me with a full breakdown of my cost. I was able to see what Dr Song actually charges, the cost of the surgical room and anesthesiologist, the per hour rate, etc. I'm sure they will provide you with that as well. Hopefully it can clarify any cost and let's hope that the 2000 increase was incorrect lol. Mine was definitely higher than Dr C's prices but I've noticed that most places in Atlanta are. Keep me posted as to how it goes.

Yes I hope so and if not I will have to focus my workouts on that area. I'm excited though. The MR and TT are what's needed most. I figured they could break the cost down better face to face and also with Dr. Song seeing my physical body it would be better. I'm excited for you though! I will be following you :-)

Mine was $750 ... not sure if it's a standard deposit. I need to start another review

omg...10 hour countdown
I can't believe that I only have about 10 hours till I'll enter Dr Songs office to head to the flat side. I feel like I still have a ton of things to do. I purchased an electric recliner, I've picked up my prescriptions, moved one of Tv trays up to my room next to my recliner, fixed a little caddy to hold my things. I even found one of my moms old button down house coats ( as she calls them) that she left once when visiting me; a old maxi dress to wear home after surgery. Omg..im still not prepared. I'm so thirsty but guess what, no water or anything after midnight lol.
