TT, Lipo waist, flanks, back

So after a good deal of weight loss with the Lapband back in 2009 I could never figure out why I still didn't have the shape I wanted. I only recently realized it was more excess skin than fat. I stalked the hell out of this site and decided I could do a mommy makeover. Breast lift with a tummy tuck and some lipo is just what I needed.

I originally wanted to go to the DR because the results those girls were getting for those prices was crazy. But i got freaked out by the idea of going out of the country and I've decided on Vanity despite all the stories because of their good prices and surgeons.

So I was in contact with Yanleys as my surgical coordinator for about 3 days before she disappeared. Then Margret called me as my new coordinator and she's been great so far. I was quoted $7,000 for TT, BL, and back lipo with McAdoo. I wanted him because I heard he worked on girls with higher BMI's and although I dont even know what my BMI is because I haven't stepped on a scale in ages I wanted to be on the safe side and go with him.

Everything was looking up and I was hoping to get my procedure done in early June. Only thing I wanted to discuss before I put down a deposit was the back lipo. I had a consultation with a local plastic surgeon here in Tucson and he suggested a back lift instead of back lipo. I just wanted to see what McAdoo thought about that from my pictures. I sent an email. Didnt hear anything back till today when Margret called to inform me that McAdoo has decided not to do Tummy Tucks right now.

Wtf? McAdoo isn't doing tummy tucks?

Something about he's focusing on breasts and butts I guess?

So she wanted permission to show my pics to the other doctors and switch surgeons. I said yes of course but I'm kinda upset. I've been drooling over his work and now I can't even get him :(
I need to find a scale and see how much weight I'm going to have to lose.

I don't know which doc to go with now

Dr O reviewed my photos and says I'm a good candidate for the procedure but recommends I lose 15 more lbs to get ideal results. I reached a plateau in my weight loss like a year ago which is why I decided now would be a good time to go with the surgery.
I kinda think its weird that they want patients to lose weight for surgery like this. I understand the risks when you weigh more but I've had 3 consultations in Tucson and Phoenix and none of them said I needed to lose weight for a mommy makeover.
plus if you lose weight just for the surgery wouldnt you gain it back afterwards when you go back to your normal diet? Id rather get the results I get when I'm eating and exercisingwith my normal diet.

But fine... if I have to lose the weight to get the surgery I'll do it. I need to buy a scale.
I haven't locked in a date yet but any recommendations to lose weight quickly since im trying to get surgery asap

Also I've been reading girls taking vitamin E for healing so I'll start that so as I set my date.

Any other recommendations? Help losing weight?

Having problems putting down a deposit for vanity Dr O. Chase Bank was requiring authorization which is taking some time since I did it on the weekend.
This gave me more time to browse the doctors in the DR with their prices.
still terrified of going out of the country but those results look so damn good :( Now I want to get quotes from Almante, Baez, maybe Yily. Any other good DR docs that can do TT and good liposculpture on us thick girls? And breast lifts? I rarely see good reviews on breasts from there.
