Flat Belly Dreams - New York, NY

So far I have 1 consult down with 4 to go. Appointments for Dr. Schumer, Dr. Yager, Dr. Roland, and Dr. Sadeh. Have a tentative date of July with NYEE, most likely won't wait that long. Want my body well before the summer. Can't seem to get enough of this site. TT the last thing I think of when I go to bed and the 1st when I get up. Smh I know I'm obsessed but what can I say you all understand my plight.

A little bit about myself. I am a very young 50. Wife and mother of 2. A daughter 27 and a son 24. I am a Registered Nurse and work in a high level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Luv my babies! As a kid I was extremely thin and I'm tall, 5'9. When I am out with my kids, no one believes I'm their mom. Anywho. I've been obsessing over this site since I stumbled upon in my quest to research body treatments available to me. I currently weigh 187lbs. Down from 200 after the holidays. I've been battling the bulge for about 5 years. About 6 years ago successfully slimmed down to a svelte 178lbs. Ahh sookey sookey did I look great! Fit into a size 10/12 and was smokin :) But lo and behold my peri menopausal depression kicked in and unlike many who can't eat when depressed, thats all I seemed to want to do. Have never been more than 210 though. So over the last couple of years I have endeavored to refine my eating habits and those of my family. Buying organic, grass fed, no antibiotic foods. Once I got my nutri bullet it was on and poppin! Who would've thunk that I'd be drinking green smoothies. Well drink them I have and those smoothies have done wonders for me.
While I do have a tummy, I can mange to bring it down when I cut my carbs. I am currently drinking 2-3 smoothies a day and having 1 midday meal.
At first I thought I would just do lipo, but after reading my sisters' journals here on RS, I know I can and will get a tummy tuck with lipo. Hoping I can afford Doc Schulmans' smooth tuck so that I can get back to work ASAP.
Husband's on board, so is my daughter. Not telling my son, he'd never co-sign that [RS bleep]. He'd be like, "just go to the gym and work out, yada, yada, yada".
I have always had a somewhat large derriere, so no BBL for me although I will require some contouring. Will upload pics soon. As an aside, I currently work full time at 1 hospital and part time at another to save for this sx. I am also in school my last semester will be done in May. On top of all that, my husband recently opened a business which I am the co-owner of and often must be on site to assist. This leaves me absolutely NO time to go to the gym. I do however own a jawbone UP band which monitors my daily activity, steps, calories burned and sleep patterns. (don't really sleep well). Try to get in at least 10K steps a day.
I am one who enjoys her TV shows. Scandal, Grey's Anatomy,Modern Family, Bones,The Following. I have absolutely not watched ANY TV in the last 2 weeks since stumbling upon this panacea of cosmetic sx. Talk about obsessed! I work a 12 hour day a literally get home at 9PM, shower and get my laptop out, NO TV. Every chance I get at work, I'm on my phone getting updates from RS and reading my sisters' blogs. Just can't wait to peel off these layers and reveal the real me!

So, I had my consult with Dr. Sadeh 3/29. Felt good vibes the moment I stepped into his offices. From the greeting I received from the receptionist and assistant to my introduction to Dr. S, it was all good. Dr. Sadeh was unpretentious, down to earth, and sincere. His gaze captivated me, I love people that give me eye contact and can maintain it, never breaking it and still managing to be non-threatening. In my opinion, he's quite handsome :) I really felt the urge to book on the spot, but I promised myself and my husband that I would consult several Dr.s before making my decision. If you have read my previous posts, you know that I plan on seeing at least 3 more NYC PS. I only chose physicians based on the highest number and best reviews as well as educational background, board certification, awards, recognition. Back to Dr. Sadeh, he is so humble, genuine, and credible. He in no way came across as a used car salesman. I am a Registered Nurse and he explained to me exactly what his modified TT entailed. He showed me before and after photos of previous patients, performed a physical examination, and took photos of me as well. You know what, as bad as you think you look, when you see a pic of yourself, you realize that you look MUCH worse than you thought! FML! Anywho, Dr. S does not charge for consult as many PS on RS. I do however have to pay a fee for Schafer ($200)
