Anyone had a Tummy Tuck? Can you tell me how much you paid?

I'm getting increasingly upset about my stomach area and want to get a tummy tuck. I'm not sure how much money I need to save for one. I'm single and dating and it's nerve wracking to think a man might react badly.

:(

I'm in MA. My TT is costing me $5k.

I'm also having a panni at the same time. That would run $6k, but it is being submitted to insurance and I'm in the waiting on approval stage. That $6k includes a night in the hospital.

So it's really $11k for the upper and lower abdomen, the skin removal, muscle tightening, and new belly button.

Hi, I too have wondered about the plastic surgery part. Although I don't have a surgery date, I'm still doing the required 6 month clearance. I don't see my surgeon again till February 2016. With my surgeon, when I started this journey, has set a pre surgery weight of 250. At the time I was 264. I'm already at 254, and doing well. I have Avmed and am in Florida. I'm 43 and am looking forward to this wonderful tool to help me get healthy and stay that way. I wasn't sure if insurance covered the Tummy Tuck and all the other areas that will need tightened. That's great if it does! I sure hope mine does. Yes, I'm a newbie and wanted to say hello, this is my first post. I have enjoyed reading all the experiences and hope to continue this journey with you all. Best wishes in whatever part of this journey you are at. ????????????

My TT alone was about $7k I think (I had multiple procedures done so I would have to check to be sure). That was Skin removal and muscle tightening. I shopped around an got seven quotes and they all circled around that same amount.

Not to sound stalker ish but I think I might recognize your location from the background of a few of your pics and I wonder if you and I live in the same neck of the woods. If so I'd love to recommend my plastic surgeon and I'd happily share the info from the others I met with. PM me and I will tell you where I live and see if I am right!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
