WORTH IT$13,600
I am clear I will need multiple procedures. The confusion for me is where to start first. My first consultation was 12/18 and for an extended abdominoplasty with lipo to abdomen and waist along with brachioplasty is $13,800. After talking to other PS offices it appears that combo is excessive. I have 2 more consultations next week. My target date is May 1st this year. My kids feel I should get the brachioplasty and BA first since my batwings really bother me.

Good Morning - I worry about multiple procedures done at once too and shocking my body, compromising blood supply etc. It seems fairly typical for women to do abdominoplasty and breast work (reduction, lift, augmentation) at the same time and come up a-ok. I try to keep that in mind as I deliberate with myself.
I'm scheduled for TT and BL (breast lift) on 2/16 but am really trying to decide if I might want to do the breasts later since they don't bother me as much as the belly. See - your kids might be onto something!
My concern is whether it's better to go under one time and get it all done or if there will be better healing facilitated by fewer procedures at any one time.
Looking forward to hearing more from you and, congratulations on your weight loss!!

April 2015 Circumferential Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck
Kymkym65January 27, 2015
I went to see Dr. Jeffrey Schreiber today and he made me feel at ease and since he does his procedures at a hospital my family and best friend are more supportive and was comfortable with him today also. Due to losing over one hundred pounds, I am loose skin and no lipo is required for my circumferential tummy tuck.
I will need 2 weeks off work and my projected date is April 5th 2015.
I will post my before pictures as soon as I can.

Circumferential Tummy Tuck/belt lipectomyLBL...Confused
Kymkym65March 3, 2015
I am going back for a second consultation to confirm that we are on the same page with my expectations/results. I am confused as it relates to the differences circumferential tummy tuck, lower body lift, belt lipectomy. After checking on all 3 it appears each PS has a different take on it. Are they one in the same? PS is supposed to be a rite of passage so to speak, but it's one headache after another. How come you go to 2 or so consultations and each one tell you something totally different. My 3rd consultation is 3/30 and I can only imagine what he will say.
Congrats on that weight loss! Are you considering getting a tummy tuck, breast work, and lipo done at the same time? That's pretty common, but of course, health comes into play and maybe your doctor doesn't think it's a good idea for you personally?
I hope you'll keep us posted on how this all goes for you. You're going to look amazing!
