I'm really happy. Not happy with the price or the fact that I need 2 surgeries like 6 months apart... lol... but happy to pay that price. I'm gonna go for another consult in December with a different surgeon to get a second opinion. I intend to get the first surgery (tummy tuck and arms will probably be the first one) in June.

Just had to share because I feel really great about it. Now I have something really motivating to aim for.

That's so exciting, honey!!!
You should chat to Remembertosmile, she's going for a few major surgeries next month!

Congratulations. I know it's probably MASSIVELY expensive, but I'm sure it'll be completely worth it.

Yes I am. I'm getting the first of what will be two surgiers next month (a little over two month after my consultation.) I will be getting a tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augementations that will make me about a mid C cup. The doctor said in as little as three months she would do the second surgery, a lower body (inner and outer thighs and but lift) along with possibly my arms.

The cost of the first surgery is around $14000, it's a lot but totally worth it in my opinion. The scares are going to be a lot too, bikini line, and then from my belly button to my breast, the scars from the breast lift/augmentation, and then they are removing the skin on the side of my breast. Again it is a trade off but totally worth it. The doctor said I probable wont be able to lose more weight on my own becasue I have so much extra skin that is a lot of what is left of my weight, the tummy tuck will probable be a loss of at least 10 pounds!

When are you planning on having yours? I happy to have someone to chat with about it.

Oh I wanted to add one more thing I opted to go for silcone implants rather then saline becasue they look and feel more real. They have only been back on the market for under a year but other countries have allowed them for years. They have a lower breaking rate than saline and you have less chance of rippling. The cost of the saline where $1000 and the cost of the silcone was $2000, I think it is worth the extra cost and this is not the time to be cheap about it.

Thanks Jelbb! Looks like RemebertoSmile made it easy for me to talk to her. lol And yes I agree, the expense is sooo worth it!

I'm gonna have to wait til June, after the school term ends (I'm a grad student). I was reading about silicone and saline implants today.. I'm in Canada and I don't know if silicone was ever illegal here but I know that it's legal at the moment. I'm gonna go visit at least one more surgeon, maybe 2 before I set a date, but I'm really excited about it. Thanks for telling me about your plans RemebertoSmile! I will be very interested to hear how it all goes for you!!

wow thats so exciting! You're so brave, im terrified of surgery >.< i hope it goes well for you

[Elwing]

I hope everything goes well! I would be super-scared myself, even though I'm studying medicine...

I think it's normal to be a little scared, but the benefits by far outweigh a little fear.
I'd be more scared if she was rocking something like a triple bypass, something a little more likely to be life-threatening.
