Has Anyone Had a Tummy Tuck?

A full tummy tuck if you are self pay will run in the 6-10K range depending on the surgeon.
I opted to self pay for a Fleur de Lis tummy tuck.

I self-paid for the fleur de lis TT portion. I also got my arms (bat wings) done. All together it was just over $5k. I think his costs have gone up about $1k in the last year though.
There is a London dr. that also works well with OHIP - I think his name is Dr. Mantic? Something like that. According to him and Dr. N - the ONLY thing you need is a documented history of rashes. The amount of "hang" isn't an issue. Make sure your dr. sends information to that effect on your referral.
It took about a month to hear back from Dr. N's office. About 8 weeks for OHIP approval. Another 8 weeks or so to get a surgery time. If you are referred this week - I'd bet you'd be looking at late spring for surgery. Depending - Dr. N goes away in the winter to teach in Pakistan or something...
