 Baltimore, MD VSG (01/17/12) Member Since: 10/14/04[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 12/22/11 11:59 am Hello, I am just curious of price ranges of tummy tuck, arms, thighs, and breasts. Can anyone list prices or quotes for me from quality surgeons? I live in Maryland but I am willing to travel. (not too far because if it is too expensive, I could put traveling costs towards tt if it is equals out) I am very afraid of arms because of the scars and I am afraid of thighs and arms because of pain. I am expecting that if any, I may get breast covered but just curious to know how much I should try to save per month. I am waiting for approval for band conversion to vsg in early to mid January 2012, so I figure I have at least 18 months to save for the tummy tuck starting in January. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!!

 Member Since: 01/12/10 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/26/12 5:52 am I'm at this point now....I get a lot of back pain, I get redness, irritation and rashes inside my bellybutton all the time now and irritation at the very lower end of my belly/top of my thighs where the skin hangs down. And I know this summer I will have irritation 10x more plus rashes under the breasts as well. I know documentation and lots of it is the key to getting insurance approval. But who does this documentation? Your PCP? Your bariatric surgeon? Or the plastic surgeon? For right now I just want the tummy tuck and abdominoplasty. I'm in a size 10 but know that once all this hanging skin is gone I'd fit in a 6 easy...maybe even a 4. Down the road I'd like to do the breasts, arms, that sag on the back and the sag below the buttocks.....one at a time. (unless I win the lottery of course LOL)

 Alameda, CA Member Since: 01/23/10 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 3/29/12 9:17 pm I am 2 years out and met with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who will perform the Tummy Tuck w/tighening and lipo of the flanks, arm lift and breast lift with augmentation all at once for $25, 300.00 This is with a 6k discount for allowing other physicians to observe since it is a training center as well. I would have 2 surgeons working on me at once to reduce the amount of time under sedation. I will schedule this for the end of July. This doctor came highly recommended by my doc who did my bypass.   |
