My goal is to have a very flat tummy that I haven't seen since high school and before kids. No matter how much I lose or workout I can't get rid of all the gross flab in my stomach. I want to look in the mirror and not be disgusted with what I see. I want a chance to build a six pack of abs. I want a flat tummy that is attractive.

We hear you! Your tummy looks familiar to many of us (except for the tatoos :) Good luck on your journey.

Pretty Certain that my doctor will be Dr. Mel Ortega

Pretty certain that I will be going with Dr. Ortega, from what I have seen on here and on their website, I feel very confident that he will be able to give me the results I want with my tummy tuck. I had gotten a lower price from Dr. Hasan, but after reading reviews and discovering that he is not even certified to do plastic surgery, I would be a fool to choose him. I am 99% certain my doctor will be Ortega, just wanted to see about pricing from a doctor here in Georgia to make it a little easier on me. I am so ready to pay my deposit, book my date and pay my balance. I have no fear of the pain, I am sure it will be kind of bad, but after a complete vaginal hysterectomy and 4 horrible rotator cuff surgeries, I believe I can handle anything. I just keep seeing all the beautiful reconstructed tummy's and think any pain is worth it if I can look like that. Pain is temporary, but Pride is forever. Looking forward to getting this show on the road.

Best wishes in your journey--you sound very determined! I would go with PS who is qualified and certified--don't mess around with that! Best wishes! I'm 40 yrs old and and 1 month post op. So happy with results! Having a flat tummy instead of that apron is great!

Getting Impatient!! It is only because of reviews that I wait for my quote!!!

bribriglio
I must say I am a little frustrated, partly in myself and partly with the doctor's office. Myself because I should have just taken the time and drove to Columbus for a consultation that certainly would have taken place by now and the doctor office for it being a little over a week since I sent pictures, but still have no quote. Poor Vicki is probably wishing they would disconnect my phone because I have called almost daily. Normally I am such an impatient person that I would have gotten angry and just went elsewhere, I guess maturity really does come with age. Instead I have just continually reminded myself that he is a very busy man and that he certainly wants to help everyone, I just have to wait my turn. I am just DEAD set that HE is the ONLY one I want to do my surgery. I have seen his reviews and his work and the biggest ADVANTAGE for me is that he is only an hour and a half from my home. I am keeping fingers crossed that I get a call from Gail today the surgery coordinator with my price. Funny thing is unless it is some insane amount I am ready to pay almost half of the cost today. I just want to get this ball rolling, I am so anxious to get this over.

Hi!!! Did you ever get scheduled? I'm feeling like you did in this post at the moment. I'm scheduled to go to DR for my TT but I'm hoping he is comparable in price.
April 14, 2015
I believe he would be comparable in price, if you are speaking of Dr. Cochran, I received a lower quote from Miami, but the difference to me would have been the 1600 for a recovery stay and having to be away from home for 10 days. I paid a little more I think in the end, but to me it was well worth it. I have seen lots of results from Dr Cochran and felt confident with him, plus he is not far from where I live which was a benefit. I guess it depends on what you desire, be careful if you go out of states with who you choose. Good luck, I think you would be more than pleased with Dr Cochran if you are thinking of using him.
