it is done - Jacksonville, FL

I recently joined this site after my husband sent me many postings about those who are having surgery, waiting for surgery and or trying to decide on surgery. I have thought about having abdominoplasty for a little over 2 years and had a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon in town and he asked that I lose 20lbs or so and he would deliver me a 7 lb baby, lol.

After speak with my family, my mother and father were uncertained of me having the procedure and wanted me to workout and see if that helped with the weight. As the youngest child, you always do as your parents ask, so I got a personal trainer and trained 3 days a week in hour sessions, lost about 13 lbs and things started to go wrong in my personal life, so I fell off the wagon and put on approximately 28 lbs. Now I'm trying to get back on track starting workout out again with a new trainer 2 days a week and I have lost 10lbs since January of this year.

I wanted to surprise my husband for when he returns from Afghanistan on April 30th 2013 with a somewhat smaller me, abdomen at least so I recently had a consultation with surgeon in town for Smart Lipo and was quoted a price of 4900.00 for upper/lower back, abdomen and flanks. Of course I needed to lose 15 lbs for this doctor.

After researching online and my husband taking over he realized that it could possibly be cheaper for me to have a butt lift and the lipo and it would be worth the money. The surgeons in Jacksonville and surrounding area prices are off the chart and roughly starting at $8000.00 and everything is extra, lol. Time has surely slipped away from me and at this time, I am discouraged with trying to have anything done. Many of the offices are scheduled so far away for surgery that I am not pleased. I guess it's my own pressure that is making me want to proceed before the end of the month. Not sure if you are in good health why you need to wait so long when your mind is already made up.

Has anyone had BBL done with Miami Wellness Center? Any input anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.
