Does anyone else feel crazy for wanting to do this?
$12,500
I've been debating over this surgery for YEARS. Sometimes I am 100% yes, and other times I think "You're crazy for wanting to cut up your body just to fit into what society thinks is beautiful."
But, in the end, I can't get over the fact that I do not like my body. Has anyone else felt this way?

Is it really worth the $ and risk?
C'mon, I am really contemplating spending $13,000 and practically cutting my body in 1/2 to remove some FAT??!! Is it really worth it? Or should I just be happy with the chubby curves my children have me? (Coming from a girl who has never had surgery, never broke a bone, not even had stitches... This is freaking intense & seems borderline psychotic to put yourself thru all of that. Maybe I'm just having a freak out moment?)

Eek, I keep having all the same thoughts. But I am going to go for it. I'm going to dr reuben in slc, but I've also heard good things about dr bindrup in draper.

I hope everything turns out perfectly! I'll be watching to see your results. I don't know who to go to for a consult. I'm still back & forth about the whole thing. Thanks for your comment.

It's worth every last cent and every bit of discomfort for a few weeks, and guess what... you can wear whatever you want without trying to suck it in. There are no negatives from my perspective :-)

You and I are about the same height and weight... and I'm extremely happy with my decision. Everybody's different, but two weeks seems to be ok for most people to return to a desk job... now here's the un-sugar-coated version :) ... I was a good 4 weeks before I could stand straight... not sure if he took lots of my belly or if the muscle repair was to blame... either way, the end result is awesome. I haven't posted recent pics, but I will soon so that you can see. I wish I'd have done this surgery years ago... it really is worth it. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

How long of a recovery should I REALLY expect?
Seriously, I can't imagine taking off more than 2 weeks of work; but a lot of you are saying your recovery was much longer. Give it to me straight... How long before you were able to return to work at a desk job?

From what I hear, you can return to a desk job after 2 weeks, but it's tiring all the same. I will let you know as I go in on the 15th of May and I have a desk job that I will have to return to about a week after my surgery. I'm lucky enough to work at home, but I'll post in my review how sitting at my desk goes.

I am 10 days post op from BL/BA/TT and I went to Dr. J. Dayne Petersen in SLC/Murray area. So far totally happy with the results and he was very competitively priced (that was just a plus, not a deciding factor, I have friends who have amazing results from him which is a big reason why I chose him), and I absolutely adore him and his entire office. I trust him completely and would definitely go back to him if I needed any other work done. I'd recommend him in a second to anyone. I am paranoid and an over thinker and over planner and I would have a million questions for both he and his staff...and they never rushed me or blew me off...always took ample time to take care of anything I needed. Worth checking out!
