I hope you do keep us informed. With over 180 pounds to loose, and at 43
years old, I know I'll be looking into this in about 2 years. Let us know
what your research and pricing shows, I'm sure a lot of us have considered
this.

I'll be keeping this thread flagged for awhile.

Lori, does that mean you are having surgery to get rid of excess
skin? If I may ask, how much is it costing you? Just curious so I can
start saving for my own!

about $6gs for the tummy tuck and $3gs if I go for the implants, more like
5-6 thou if I go for the breast life. I told DH it will be about $10,000
but
he'd get at least 20 yrs from that investment. : ) I've mostly been
researching the procedures at this point. not the cost. some places will
take a down payment and bill a credit card (I would use my Visa cash card)
monthly. I think having more than one procedure at a time would be best
because you would have only one anesthesia bill. I'll keep updating here
about my journey to getting this excess skin on my belly taken away. I
think
I'd lose about 10 lbs just getting rid of my lower belly skin.l
