Out with Old and In with the New - New York, NY

So I've been wanting a Tummy Tuck since after my daughter was born in September 2007 but I always thought I would not be able to afford a $10, 000 Tummy Tuck. One day as I was doing more intensive research I came across Real Self and been a memeber since November 29, 2011. As I was reading reviews I came across mayra2011 review and read that she had it done for $4, 600 and how close Jacobi Hospital was. My mind was set and said This Is It!, I'm saving up the money for many Tummy Tuck.
As time went by I kept visiting Real Self and started reading more near by reviews and came across Lesley2005 review and saw that she got it done at Lenox Hill Hospital which was more convenient for me to travel to and it sounded more reassuring to know that Lenox Hill Hospital keeps you over night. Unlike Jacobi Hospital that sends you home the same day and the price wasn't much of a deal breaker.

So my time has come and filled with so many emotions. I've already scheduled my physical appointment with my primary doctor for January 25th and scheduled a consultation appointment at Lenox Hill for February 4th. So I figured that I'll schedule my physical prior to the consultation so that I can have the doctor fill out the form Lenox Hill requires your doctor to fill out. That way I can get things running a little faster with the process so I can get my Tummy Tuck done ASAP.
Ok, so I'm going to try and make the following details as simple as possible so you can have a better picture.

YAY, I'M SO EXCITED! :-)
My phone isn't giving me the option to download picures. Gotta find some where else to do it. Pics coming soon.

Ok, I know I wrote that I was going to update after my consultation but all I do is think about getting my Tummy Tuck every minute of the day and I'm constantly browsing reviews. So what the hec. Lol I can't freakin make up my mind if I want to get muscle repair with the Tummy Tuck. I know I have about an inch of separation but I ...........ugh, I'm scared that I still may be in pain even 5 years from now because of the stitched muscles. I've came across horror stories of woman complaining about having pain years later and regretting getting it done and wished for the old belly back. I dont want that for me and dont want to be in pain for the rest of my life. I even whimped out a few times but then when I look in the mirror I really want this one eyed monster gone. I even consoled my self thinking well if I don't get the muscle repair I can deal with the bulge as long as I don't have hanging skin over my paints. I was almost sure I was 100% against the muscle repair but now I'm like I want the full package and want to look flat and get my money's worth. Ugh, I just don't know.

So it's been a while since I last posted because I wasn't sure if I wanted the TT anymore plus other things that we're going on in my life. I missed my TT consultation on February 4 and thought that was that. A few days ago I was thinking it over and regret missing that consultation that took 3 1/2 months to get. So I called back a few days ago to reschedule and was lucky enough to be put I. Sooner that expected. So now my consultation is Monday February 25th and I'm definitely not missing this one. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time because I know the surgery gets booked pretty fast there after. So I know this could be happening any time in march.
