First Consult W/ Gabay & Gattlieb Phila

Ok, so I am looking into getting a tt, lipo, & maybe a breast lift. My weight is 150pds & I am 5"7. I have 3 beautiful daughters, but have a loose belly that looks worst the thinner I am. After my last daughter I find it hard to lose anymore weight. I seem to be stuck at this 150pd point. I don't look over weight at all, but without clothes I don't feel confident. even though my husband loves me the way I am i need this for myself. I scheduled an appt. with Gattlieb and Gabay for the beginning of July. I am super nervous about choosing the right doc that is in close proximity to my house. Any suggestions on any other good PS's.

Ok, so I have my consult tonight with gattlieb. I am a little nervous about exposing my nakedness to a stranger..lol. I would def say that I might feel ore comfortable with a woman, but his consult is free so its worth his opinion. Since I've joined i been reading so many reviews & I have to say that Laura Cardenas has been a top runner for me. I never thought I would have the guts to do surgery at all, yet alone in a different country. Her patients seem so satisfied with her care and concern it makes think I wouldn't be that bad. So, i'm going to see gattlieb tonight get his quote & opinion and also get 1 from Cardenas. I think I'm gonna wait to upload pics since i'm not planning to have my surgery until June 2014. I would love to have it sooner but it would not be possible financially or for my lifestyle.

Last night I met with Gattlieb & he quoted me 7,000 for a tummy tuck and lipo to the abdomen,flanks, & back. I also inquired about a breast lift and he said he would do both for 12,000. The breast lift itself would be 6,500, but with doing them both I would save 1,500. My first impression of the office was neutral. There was a short wait time maybe 10 min. Gattlieb seemed confident in his ability to deliver, but i feel cardenas will give me a more womanly shape. I thought the before & after pics looked great, but the shape was more boxy. I also sent my pics to Cardenas & i'm waiting for a quote from her. I'm sure it will be much lower that 12,000 & I would be able to stay 3 weeks at the recovery house. I have a concern about my girls seeing me like that with the drains and all. That can be scary for an adult let alone a child.
