First Plastic Surgeon Visit!



Recommended Posts

Wow. Talk about mortifying. I had to stand there in the buck with nothing but these tiny bikini underwear they provide you, and get photographed! Sagging boobies, hanging belly, arms flapping in the wind - that took ALOT!

And what did i learn at the end of the day?? I shouldve stayed Fat because i cant afford all this surgery LOLOL

Just kidding of course. I got a consultation on a little extra neck fat, sagging deflated boobies, massive arm flab hanging and a WILD unruly stomach that is all sorts of wrinkled.

THe great news was...he said there is NO fat in my stomache or arms...that im hollowed out!! Yay. I was hoping it was just skin and not more I needed to lose. It was kind of gratifying :ohmy: My BMI was right where it should be. I was thrilled.

It turns out I will not have any surger before my wedding (July). Im so glad he was honest and straightforward and ssaid hell no missy, cutting it too close!

Anyway, I liked him, I got priced and overviews and tons of photos, so eventually, after the wedding, ill go back to him. But check out these prices!!!!!!!!!

Location: Bergen County, NJ

Doctor Quality: Top US Plastic Surgeon

Overall Cost (procedure, anastesia, facility, taxes)

Neck Lip 4,000

Arms 10,000

WOW! I need a better job people!!!!

LOL. $86000 for the thigh lift. For that much money, they ought to carry them for you too. At least you know we are paying attention.... ;o)

The truth be told I have no idea what my surgeon charges. He was very adament about getting the insurance to cover everything and he has never even brought up the cost. But the first surgeon I saw said the Tummy Tuck was 10k and he didnt' want to talk insurance at all. I'm kinda anxious to see what the insurance is paying when its done.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
