$8,000
So I was unable to make my first consult with Dr. Pellegrino. I got a call from my kids camp and had to go there. At least my kids are ok!! But not all is bad I did get an estimated cost and procedures from Dr. Ortega. I will get a BA and TT. Cost would be $6700. That price is for cash or cc. $8000 if a lift is needed. If financing, it would be about 15% more. So at least I have an approximate cost. Now I can decide the best way to pay for this and any other items I may need. I also have to send better pics of my chest so they can tell if a lift is needed. OK that's all I have right now. So it's off to try and see if I can make it possible! ! To everyone getting ready to go in, good luck and sending you prayers. To everyone recovering I hope you heal fast and in the least amount of pain possible and your results are amazing! !

My relationship with my husband played into my decision to have a mommy makeover. In our case, he was very excited at the idea - almost too excited, and I put the brakes on it for awhile because I didn't want to be pressured into it, and his enthusiasm made me feel even more self-conscious about my body. This was about 3 years ago, and I finally had the surgery last week. I'd suggest you keep talking, involve him in decisions, and do everything you can to make it a partnership decision. Even though this was done "to me", I feel like it was something we have tackled together. You are early in the process, so I'd really suggest taking this time to bring him around - you will need him in your corner when you are recovering! Good luck to you!!

Thank you. He doesn't see the need for it. I understand that he feels that way but I don't feel that way! He is an amazing husband but I just wish he understood why I want it. I just want to feel good about myself again. I want to look in the mirror and like my body. I think he has seen to many movies about women getting work and leaving their men! I find it completely funny. I'm madly in love with my husband and he knows it. I think it's just an excuse. I really appreciate your advice and will definitely try to include him in it!! Thanks again

That is hard. Too bad we couldn't mesh our husbands attitudes! The good news is that he clearly knows he has a gem in you and wants to hold on to you! I bet, over time, he will at least come to accept, even if he can't understand. Heck, show him RS and all of us out here choosing to do this for OURSELVES. I get the feeling a few of my friends think I'm doing this to put forth an image, or to change how I appear to others. Or they think I'm judging them as "harshly" as they think I'm judging myself, but it really is totally about my self-image. The line I kept saying to myself was that I just felt too young to look so old! I will hope that when he gets to enjoy the results (and I bet you'll have fantastic results), he will finally believe you! ;-)

Thank you!! Seriously if we could combine their personalities. I'm so glad your husband understood you wanted to better yourself and make yourself confident. I don't think men understand how it feels to have your body change so much after kids. I only want to be best mom and wife I can. I truly think if I get my sx done I will then be more confident and secure! I think that's a big one is security. I'm hoping if he sees all of the wonderful stories and women like you who are supportive and have successfully had the surgeries with amazing results, he'll start to understand where I'm coming from. Thank you for your support and talking with me!!

Thanks I'll definitely keep that in mind!! I can't wait to be able to show them off!!! I don't want to look at these tired girls anymore!! Time for a double shot of espresso in each.

First consult with Dr. Christopher Pellegrino

So I'm heading to my first consult today.. should I be nervous, because I am!! I want to make sure I ask the right questions and get the most info possible. If you guys have any questions that you were so glad you asked please share them with me! I definitely could use the help! I know the important questions like are they board certified, anesthesiologist qualified, the operating room. Also does the doc have privileges at the hospital! It's the things you wished you had asked before the surgery but only found out after. Thanks rs
