Getting arms done! Woo hoo!
Well, I broke down and decided that my arms were definately causing me more grief than any other "visible" part of my body so I decided to go ahead and self pay for the surgery. I have locked in the date of April 13th with the surgeon. I go Tuesday for my consultation. I am so excited and trying hard not to weird out about having surgery again. (I freak out about the anesthesia). My hubby and I have booked a cruise to the Bahama's this June and I have bought some darling outfits. Sadly most of them are sleeveless. I kept staring at my saggy, hanging arms thinking how they were just going to ruin the whole "look". I am so excited about having this done. I am going to see how much everything else will run, just in case I ever hit the lottery! LOL! I'll keep you posted and hopefully have some pics once the procedure is done.

Congratulations on your decision!! I can certainly understand your dilemma about the additional surgery. I just got through with Tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation and it was extremely scary for me. Not that anything went wrong I just freaked about the whole thing and remember waking up while they were bandaging me up and actually asking aloud the doc why the hell i did this. There was a little pain involved....ok alot but not the breast part the tummy part..Ill be 2 weeks post op wednesday and now believe it was worth it. If nothing else I have been totally smoke free for 6 weeks since i didnt want any anethesthia complications. as soon as i heal in a few moew weeks im having arms and legs done...My husband is excited for me. GOOD LUCK and keep up the wonderful work!
You look wonderful! Wowee! I bet you look ten times better with the additional skin gone. I am soooooooo envious! I have to settle for this one surgery unfortunately, but with any luck I hope to manage one or two more further down the road. My insurance company will pay for NOTHING! Grrrrrrr!! You have come a long way and look great! Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your surgeries. I love to hear about them!

Hey Jen! How are you? YOU look gorgeous!
Well, when I called the surgeons office the girl there told me that it would cost me $4700.00, PERIOD. So, I thought this was a screaming deal and went in for my consultation. Afterwards the surgeons nurse comes in and tells me it will be $5,000.00 for the arms and $250.00 for the operating room. $5250.00! I was pissed and told her that I was quoted $4700.00, she said NO ONE should have given me a price over the phone when the surgeon hadn't even seen me yet. Blah blah blah. Needless to say, I am going ahead with it, because my arms look like poop! I figured this would be the least expensive of all the surgeries and darn it, I was going to have something fixed! I also inquired about lipo for around my knees. I literally have these protrusions of fat on the inside of my knees. He is supposedly cutting me a deal if I do it the same day as my arms. $750.00 to lipo these babies. The nurse told me if I had done it separately the would have charged me $2250.00!!! I have to think if I can cough up another $750.00.
So how have you been? You need to keep in touch, you look fantastic!
