47 and Finally Saved Enough Money for TT

I would love to give you support to do something good for yourself and I hope you do BUT..I literally could not have done this without the complete support and help from my husband ..work on getting him on board and when you do that then I say..Dooo it!! You deserve it after all you have been thru!

Ask your husband if he is happy when you're happy, if he says well explain to him that getting a tummy tuck will bust your self confidence and make you so much more happier. Tell him while you understand that he loves you the way you are, you don't and want to change your appearance that only a tummy tuck can do for you. It won't only be you enjoying your new stomach! Lol I don't know if you workout or watch what you eat but maybe incorporate that before having your tummy tuck and continue it after recovery so have even better all around results. I had my son when I was only 18 years old and now at 25 years old I haven't been able to enjoy my body the last 6 years because I carried a child and I regret so deeply taking my body for granted when I was a teenager. Having a tummy tuck is going to give me more self confidence than I had before and make me appreciate myself more. I would never tell a woman not to have one done and I am sure that after I see my results I wouldn't either.

It's amazing how many women face similar struggles in regards to being able to make their final decision. I'm 12 days post op and juggled with the same things as you the many others ways the money could be spent, the fact that my husband didn't really want me to do it though he fully supported whatever decision I ultimately made. Though I'm happy I did it for my own self esteem there have been movements as days go by and reality sets in that this recovery process is a long one, sometimes I do just feel like maybe I should have just left things alone after all the man of my dreams was happy so why couldn't I just be as well. Just make sure you do your research and make an educated decision because the fact that I did not prepare myself for all possible outcomes and occurrences just made the situation with my husband even worst since he hates to see me in pain. Ultimately though I'm happy with my decision and moving forward one day at a time and hopefully sometime in the near future it will all pay off!

I never got a surgery done but this year I wanted to do something good for myself, so I went to new body md Stockton but this doctor tavassoli he's also in Sacramento . Go and see him he will blow your mind away . So good luck and you could apply for credit care and pay monthly for it .. arabianrose

I know this is an older post, but for anyone who is reading this and is wondering if Athenix is the right choice, think again. Don't go to Athenix! The small amount saved is not worth the horrible results. It is a clinic, and it looks like a place where doctors practice before getting their own private practice. I had an awful experience with them. I am talking about uneven sides, lumps, fat repostioned, and an unethical no common sense approach which left areas that now need skin removal from the loos skin they left in areas. I even was stupid enough to go for a revision and they messed me up even more! They are not good at liposuction at all. Liposuction is a true ART! I did not get that until I was used as a ginny pig! Please DO NOT GO TO ATHENIX!!! Go to a doctor who has his own practice with pictures to show you his or her work, not the generic book that ALL ATHENIX centers use! You will not look anything close to those pictures! But worse. My before pictures look better! Its so embarassing!

My husband said he thought I looked just fine too. I really don't understand men! I love the way I look now in clothes. I love the way I look when I look in the mirror. I did this for me and I'm so glad I did. Good luck with your procedure!
