Tummy Tuck 18 months after Gastric Bypass

I've lost about 90 pounds in the last 18 months and can't wait to get this sagging skin off!
My plastic surgeon indicated the procedure will take 2.5 hours. He is just two years out of medical school and comes highly recommended. Because he's a "newby" the cost including the $600 anestgologist (sp) and $1437 hospital fees is $4600!!!

I'm told I won't need a special chair or bed. I will let you know about that.

I was given firming lotion and cream to have minimal scarring According to a price sheet he sells these creams for nearly $200

It is less than 4 hours til I report to the hospital. I want to go now and move forward.

I'm told the lipo is extremely painful. We are having Christmas here with our two grown children. I've already purchased the food and I've made and frozen enough food for two weeks ! My husband and children are happy for me. Ive told just 1 other person besides them and that is my trainer.

Oh my surgeon said if I get dog ears he can repair in the office at no charge - same with the drain tube if there is complications it, too can be fixed in his office.
That was good to know because of course,insurance doesn't cover a TT
