Tired of my Stomach in my Lap – Full Lipo TT Asap!! Shooting for 7/5/11 - Gretna, LA

I was scheduled for a TT and Full Lipo last year, but an unscheduled surgery caused me to push my surgery back. My PC wants to do Dual Laser Lipo of the Lower/Upper Abdomen, Flanks, Low Back and Wings first. Four to Six months later he will do my TT. I am overweight with no medical issues (I had to have a hysterectomy last year, but am healthy other wise. He suggested I lose 20lbs before surgery. Is this normal? I really trust him because is has been my GYN for years and has been a PC as for 30 years.

Is $11,000.00 too much. The insurance will pay for operating room and anesthesia. I am paying or the Full TT w/muscle repair and lipo of flanks. I have had two consults and they were within $1,000.00 of each other.

I had a consult for a TT on March 3, 2011. I have some female issues and plan to have a TT when those issues are addressed. I have a few concerns, I am 45 years old with no kids and about 280lbs, I am 5'9. My doctor says since my weight has been the same for a few years and I have no other medical issues that I can have a TT without losing any weight, but if I did, it would be great. After reading some of the reviews, I am getting scared. I've wanted this for some time and plan to have a TT with Full lipo on July 5, 2011. Am I doing the right thing at my age? I am being told by a friend to love myself. I do love myself, but I want to improve "me". I am I wrong for wanting to improve my physical appearance or is my friend so called hatin on me? She's almost talking me out of it. I have done my background check on my doctor and his record is spotless, no complaints, no lawsuits. He came highly recommended and I've seen and love his work. Please I need some insight and help.
