Tummy Tuck / Liposuction

I'm 45, mother of twins and I've been thick around the waist my whole life. When I try to lose weight I do lose little around my waist and back but I also lose in my butt, legs, arms, neck, face....basically everywhere else gets skinny and I still have a large waist. I had twins 10 1/2 years ago which didn't help my body situation. I've basically been the same weigh for 20 years, 8 lbs lower and about 7 lbs higher. I only gained 25 lbs with my pregnancy. I've wanted to have a trim waist my whole life and now it's my time!!! I went to my consultation with Dr Pitcher today and I was pleased with him and his price. I scheduled surgery for Jan 3rd and I'm excited but terrified. Mostly worried about the pain, recovery and having the stamina to get back to work a couple weeks after the procedure. Wish me luck!!

I've been unbelievably nervous and anxious. I sent this wish pic to my plastic surgeon. I've attached it here. I asked if the doctor could call and talk to me about the results I'm hoping to get. I tried to find someone with similar body structure as me (i.e. no waist). The patient care coordinator gave it to him last week and she told me today he's going to call by the end of the day Thursday. I didn't want to waste his time by taking up and appointment but rather felt a simple picture and brief conversation would be good enough. My husband's impression of our initial consultation was that I would have similar results but I think my nerves are getting the best of me. My surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow. I would think if he looked at the picture of what I'm expecting and if he wasn't on the same sheet of music then he would have called right away and given me a different price for more time in the OR. As you all know, this is a lot of money to spend to not get the results you want. Keep your fingers crossed!!
