41 Years Old, 3 Kids, Want to Go from Flab to Fab! TT and Vaser Lipo- Germantown, TN

Hello RS Ladies! I am new to this site. I have been reading reviews and I thought, let me go ahead and get into it. I have 3 kids ages 21, 17, and 2. I know , I know, it's a huge gap, but these things happen. I have been going to consultations trying to find out what procedure is best for me. I am a comfortable size 8, but after my third baby, my belly is flabby. After I have been mistaken for being pregnant too many times, I felt it was time to do something. Working out and diet does not get rid of a flabby belly. My first consultation was with a doctor that does Aqualipo. I was actually advised that I would make a better tummy tuck candidate because of loose skin. But if I rather have Aqualipo, total cost $6,200. I went to a doctor that does Smart Lipo. He said he could make me not look pregnant, but I would have an overhang of loose skin. But if I rather have Smart Lipo, total cost $4,200. O.K. now I am convinced that I need to have a tummy tuck. After reviewing the brave ladies who have gone through it, I am so scared, but I want to go from flab to fab and I know what to expect. The satisfaction outweighs my being scared. I had a consultation with Dr. Joe Hernandez who does what they call a Combituck. It is done in office under local anesthesia and they sedate you with the drug used for colonoscopies. Is that Propofol? Anyway it is supposed to less painful and a shorter recovery period. Before and after photos look great. Total cost $9,000. Then, I went to see Dr. Ronald Johnson who has excellent reviews on this site. He was very thorough and he has been doing these surgeries for years. He does his at a surgery center under general anesthesia. Before and after photos look great too. Total cost $8,580. Now, I am left with a decision to make. Who will I choose to do my surgery? Both doctors seem to really care and want to help me reach my goal. Who would you choose?

This is what my stomach look likes now. I am so ready to get this taken care of. I still can't decide who I want to do my surgery. Decisions, decisions...

Well, I did it. I decided to go with Dr. Ronald Johnson. I love the ladies in his office and he was very thorough at the consultation. I feel more comfortable with him because he will do my TT in a surgery center and not in his office with local anesthesia. I think this is safer and he has been practicing for years. His work looks amazing and he has great reviews on RS. So, I am schedule for July 6. The countdown begins...
