Hello everyone ! As is today November 1st I'm still in the beginning stages of finding out which doctor I'm going with . I'm a little further along in the research department. ???? The game plan ? Well, I would ideally like to lose at least 70 pounds before surgery . I'm down from 258.12 to 236 . A little about myself ... I have 7 children (wait for it ....) under 5 ! Two sets of twins and I'm ready to reclaim my body .

Wow, welcome to the real self world. I thought I was the only person in the modern world who had 7 kids. I have quite a bit more space between mine than you but I would have loved to have a set of twins. I'm over it now though! I will be having a tummy tuck with lipo on December 8th. I'm 5"6 and weigh about the same as you ( although you look a lot smaller than me). Best wishes on your journey.

So , today was my second consultation with Mr.Klein in Concord . I am completely blown a away not in a good way either ! First let me trace my steps and begin by saying that he first time around with this man he was great ! Fully of life , pleasant and ; well it seemed as if he pulled out all the stops . This time not so much . I was instructed to come back because I wanted to know why he didn't quote the tummy tuck and the breast implants together . In nice words my bmi way too high for him to do those two procedures together . Only problem is he didn't explain that in nice words or the first time around . He also added in the fact that I needed a lift as well . Which I specifically asked him the first time . Toward the end of the consultation I managed to remind him through this huge lump in my throat that I was on the way to losing 70 pounds and that was my main goal before surgery . I guess his not guy act wore off and he wasn't so pressed on the 5600 for just implants alone at that time . Business must be coming in better in comparison to my last visit . I wish you guys could have been there ! Words can't describe how rude he was . I asked him why was told to come in if they knew that and it was standard procedure he then beat around to bush to tell me that I was basically lying . This may seem a little all over the place I'm just extremely emotionally . I guess it could have been worst if I'd actually went through with it and he was this rude during post op care

I'm sorry you experienced. Well at least you know in advance what kind of doctor he really is.

When someone shows you who they really are, believe them!! Don't be too down, you must continue your search. Best wishes, your doctor is out there somewhere!
