Patiently Waiting
Im a little pissed right now. I have been patiently waiting for Johns Hopkins Resident Program list to open up since March 2013 since I was told to call back in June. I called today they the receptionist told me that the list is closed and will not open up until next year. So pissed.....I guess I am back to my original plan of going to NY to get my surgery performed...SAD FACE!!!

Update on my tt journey - Well as you probably read by now I didn't go thru with my tt that was scheduled in January.
However, I decided to again start my research. I went for a consult at University of Maryland and I was quoted $8271.00. Yes, this quote is from a teaching hospital! That price is ridiculous! And, I was not comfortable with the resident.
So, I made a appt at Mt. Sinai for a consult on April 26th. I am still weighing the decision to go because of the high consult fee ($300), which is not deducted from the final price of the tt ( I guess I ned to reach out to some of the other RS ladies who had their tt performed there). And, then I have to decide when to get it done because I am a student and my classs will be ending the first week of May but I wanted to get a summer job and I have two vacations scheduled for this summer. So, it's either don't get a job or cancel one of my vacations. I was hopefully thinking I could get the surgery done the late part of May. But, not sure if my body will be healed enough for me to vacation for the 4th of July.
Or, if I will even want Mt. Sinai to perform my tt or if I am qualified to get it done there (They may tell me that I need to loose weight). I'm still a work in progress.

I just called Dr. Xipoleas's office and was told that he is no longer accepting consultations for tt or lipo. He will be leaving NYEE in May. I was told to call back in June when a new resident is assigned. I am so disappointed and sad. When I had the chance to get the surgery I should have gotten it. Now I am back to the researching and waiting game. I guess I will call Lennox Hill. If I get the surgery performed there my vacation money (due to the $2000 difference from NYEE's price) will be used and I need that vacation. I am even considering Mt. Sinai Hospital even with their 300.00 consult fee. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about Harlem Hospital or Jacobi Hospital?

Just saw your update...that sucks:( I'm surprised they didn't take you since you were already a patient. I wonder if you got in touch with the doctor directly... Do you have his email or direct phone #? You already had the consult. Maybe he can squeeze you in if you tell him how much you liked/ trusted him. Might be worth a try. Good luck either way. Keep us all posted on what happens.

Yes, I have his email address. That's a good idea maybe I should ask him directly? Thanks for the idea @zabette.

I have a consultation at Jacobi medical 4/23 its a $195 consultation fee that's deducted from the $4,600 leaving the balance $4,405 balance( she said the fee over the phone ) I also have a consultation 5/20 with Harlem hospital consultation is $395 not deducted from the fee .they would not share a fee over the phone BUT Im not going to keep the Harlem hospital consultation can't afford to pay the consultation fee if its not being used towards the surgery .

@aboyn3girlz I also have a consultation scheduled for this month on the 26th at Mt. Sinai. I am undecided if I should go or not $300 is a lot of money to be wasting on a consultation that may not go in your favor. I am scared that they may tell me to loose weight or something else. Please keep me posted on your consult visits. Also, do some research on RS because I have read that many girls have had tt done there and may can tell you the cost. Good Luck!

OMG, just read your story. I am so sorry you had to go through that! It really makes me mad that your family, friends, and even husband were not supportive in the end. UGH!! Follow your dream of having a flat tummy. Good luck!

Hey @NewTummy2013 I am much better now and I told my husband to get over it. I can understand his worries because I will be traveling to another state to get the procedure done. But, he knows his wife. I am determined to do what I want to do. I just wish I had that attitude back in January, lol. I am still researching. I am scheduled for a consultation at Mt. Sinai on April 26th. I am just undecided when to get the surgery done because I have a few vacations scheduled for this summer. I just learned that I am not telling anyone what I am planning until the day before or after.
