I had a Tummy Tuck this past February. It was no cup of tea. For a month I pretty much had the movement of an 80 year old woman. However after 8 weeks I was perfect. I loved the results! I went down a few sizes in jeans and I'm not embarrassed about my stomach anymore! I'm looking into doing more cosmetic procedures soon.

If you don't mind me asking, was it just a tummy tuck or was it a lower body lift? And how much did it cost?

I'm pretty sure I'll want a lower body lift after : )

I went back to take a good look at your tummy. My tummy looks the same as yours except I have lots of stretch marks on my stomach.

I want it' date=' I'm just not sure when.[/quote']

I suggest waiting til after you have children cuz you are so young. Unless Dr says Ok and you want to pay twice. Good luck with whatever you decide. I'm def going to have one as soon as my Dr says it's ok. However, I've had my children, twins.

Some insurances will give you a lift due to rashes and neg impact on functioning or living, etc....... The same for arm, thigh lift and tummy....

I'm not worried about when I have kids. I go to the gym and I eat right, I just can't get rid of my stomach from my surgery. I'm 18, kids are no where in sight in my future. I'm tired of not being totally confident because of my stomach.

Sweetie I bet a mini tuck is all u may need.... Go and get a few consults and research drs And their offices on bbb as well as the with the American medical boards to verify their specialty is plastics, as some docs don't have it as a specialty. I had a Tummy Tuck after my nine year old was 4 and though I had a baby with my second hubby 3 years later my stomach went back flat because the muscle connections were done right.

It will work out but get that research on comparables and verify they have rights at a good hospital which lends to their standing....

Good luck and God bless!

I'm so looking forward to 2014 to get everything done. I got a letter that "wish not to say from who" My plans not go as plan for next year. Damn it!!! Getting a loan for $50,000 when I don't even have a job is not easy. I estimated this amount by the sections I wish to get done.

Carecredit is used by many plastic surgeons and dr offices. If u can get a line of credit to them u can pay on it as u would a car.... It may be easier. U may or may not end up needing a co-signer..... I see the signs whenever I go to a doc's office and when I was last in my plastic surgeons office....

Better than care credit is Chase Health Advantage they provide total cost financing plus fixed interest rate.

I just saw they did away with that program. They are no longer accepting any applications.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
