$11,000
Hi ladies. So it's been a while since my last post and I am still wanting to go ahead with the procedure. I just have some questions for those of you who have done it already or are scheduled to... How did you go about paying for it? I feel like I've seen sooo many women on this site have multiple surgeries and I wonder how can anyone afford it? I have pretty good credit soI think I will be approved for a loan but would just like to know how you all did it or maybe you have some insight to where I should go that gives good plans and rates for elective surgery. Btw I am looking to have the bbl and TT. Hope everyone is doing well!

Great that you are going ahead with surgery!  You will be so happy!  I had lipo & TT & used some tax return money & put the rest on Care Credit.  I was able to get 0% financing if I paid it off within a year.  Care Credit is like a credit card & many Dr. offices accept it & offer low or 0% financing if you pay it off within a certain time (Dr. office usually decides the length of time - 6 months, 1 year).  Good luck & let us know how your surgery goes - can't wait to see an update!

Found some things to support my bootie after surgery. Put up pics of these things i plan on trying:

Butt surgery cushion
Kid sized pool innertube
Adult size innertube
Wedge pillow

Ooowee man...That wedge pillow is a bit pricy...I think I will just use one of my old couch pillows...I used it now to sleep sitting up when I have heartburn.
Lol, it's just my idea for the wedge pillow. I'm sure I can find one similar for cheaper somewhere else. Just want to get the idea. I think the part of the after surgery i worry about most is how I'm going to sleep.. Think the best idea would be to get the kids inner tube, stack up a bunch of pillows behind. And under my knees and I should be good. We shall see ... ;-)
Not sure what to think about this situation,maybe you ladies can help.m so my bf and I have been together for about a year and a half. I'm 31 with two kids, 3 and 7. I really don't want anymore and he doesn't have any and eventually does want one. I want to get this surgery and I'm thinking if he doesn't put a ring on it in the next 7 months then I'm not even gong to consider having anymore kids bc I really want my tummy done. What should I do? Should I tell him this or see what happens in the next couple months or maybe just do the bbl instead and wait for the tummy tuck? I really want them done together so i can get it all over in be shot. Should I even worry about him wanting kids or should I just focus on my own happiness? What would you do?
did you ever consult with Dr. Tattelbaum? I haven't checked out the rest of the docs you mentioned but I have had my eye on dr t and his patients and he has amazing results - going to see him next week
Hi NTL! No I havnt seen him ever since his office cancelled my first consult. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Im still wanting to go with Dr Azurin but not sure I will have the funds in time for this summer so I might just go with lipo and BBL with Dr Daniel Del Vecchio. He does natural breast aug with fat transfer and the results look phenomenal! So i may just get lipo and BBL or just a natural breast lift. Are you going for a tummy tuck and bbl?
It is good you looked into different surgeons as research is so important. I really love Dr.Azurin's tummy tucks because the stomach is so flat and the scar is so thin and low! It is incredible. I am getting a BBL with Salama in July but I would definitely go to Azurin for a tummy tuck and if I needed a round 2 of lipo and fat grafting.

I am so anxious to get my quote I check my email like 100 times a day! Lol. I am so dead set on these procedures i think the only thing that could stop me is the finance piece. I hope my quote is good and i can swing it. Then just have to worry about asking off from my job. Eeek. Thats going to be tough. But i guess we'll cross that beidge when we get there. Any advice on the time off from work would be helpful. :-)

Hi babymomma I can see you're going to have an amazing result . I love also that "1st wist pic". I'll die for a waist like hers. Good luck to us :-]. I'm going next month.

Thanks Zizi!! I hope so! After spending that kind of money i hope i turn out like a hott momma!! Lol. How long are u staying in FL?
2 weeks
where are u staying zizi?
I did not make any reservation yet but most likely Marriott
Oh okay. Thats about as long as i was thinking id have to be there too. Im excited for u! Your date is going to come up so fast!
Thank you. I'm excited for you too. I'm going this Saturday to get my lab work done and then I'm ready to go. I love the new purple butterfly. I do have already a whole collection of butterfly in my stomach . This is my second attempt to get my tummy tucked .
My bf actually drew it for me last year :-) i wanted to get a tatoo buttrfly so i asked him to draw some for me. I never got it but i kept the drawings :-) oh and he's an ex now haha! Well hopefully round 2 will be it for you and you wont need to go through all of this again!
what do you do for work? i'm a nurse and took 5 wks LOA to make sure i was ok, I walk a lot no heavy lifting only the babies ( i work at a post partum floor with moms and their babies)I don't want to scare you BUT let me tell you if you do your tt with Dr. A. you will be hunched at least 3-4 wks, he tights your ab muscles and tries to get rid of any hanging skin that there will be a point in where you will think the standing up straight will never happen, be prepared to rest a lot and no lifting your kids or going out doing stuff that you should not be doing....
And here is my fav result ever. How are you Pocahontas? I miss talking to you
Hey Pocahontas!! I actually have a pretty cushy job but my boss is very overbearing. I have a desk job with a lot of meetings and client interaction. I sit all day. I got up from my desk today maybe 4 times lol! I have the ability to work from home remotely which is good but i only do that in emergency situations and i know i dont have to physically be in any meetings. I was hoping to maybe swing it with my job where i ask off totally work free for 2 weeks then get the doctor okay to work from home on "bedrest" for another 2. Which to me is doable i think. Its just asking for it that im worried about. :-/. I worry a lot about what my boss will say.. Shes very passive aggressive and anything and everything i do can affect my raises...i will prob put in a call to HR to weigh my options once i set a date. Im not sure how FMLA works when its cosmetic?
Hi mama!! How are you? Your day is approaching ....I'm good thanks!!!
i saw dr. glatt too! i thought he was very nice & i felt so comfortable with him. i ended up waiting a few years to get my tt & went with a friend's ps.  good luck & let us know who you pick & how it goes!
ooh, sorry i just read that you chose your surgeon. good luck! i am glad you found a surgeon who you are happy with!
No problem madison :-). I liked Dr Glatt when i saw him a year ago for my consult. He was very friendly and nice but his prices were sooo high! The quote i got was more than what i paid for my car lol! He does have good work. But i might as well fly to sunny florida get what i want and great results for way less than what Glatt was charging. He is a great surgeon just not great for my pockets lol
Your results are going to be great you have a excellent foundation!!
Thanks wrkinonit!! I am so happy and excited to do it! Wish I could do it tomorrow if I could!
