took the first step...

I finally gathered the nerve to call the plastic surgeon today and schedule a consult. I want a TT more than words but I know that I can't feasibly afford it right now. The problem is this loose skin in my abdominal area is WRECKING my self esteem. I know that sounds petty but it's something I think about almost constantly. I actually hold myself back from a lot of things because of they way I feel about it. The surgeon I called offers a special for WLS patients with a total fee for everything being $3500. Ya know...that's way less than I had anticipated. They have financing which I doubt I'll get approved for because of my ex destroying our credit. The in house payment plan might be my best bet....65% down and the other 35% is deferred into 6 monthly payments. Maybe Santa Claus will have to come in the form of plastics for me this year!! (one can hope anyway) *hugs* Dawn

Dawn, Who is this doc and what is his contact info? I'd love to call him since I'm in Jersey, too. I totally understand how you feel about the self-esteem issue. Between my thighs, my panni and my teeth; I feel soooooo freakin' ugly lately. I don't want DH to see me, let alone anyone else. Hugs back at you, RobinNJ

Hey Robin~ Dr. Watts 1051 W Sherman Ave Building 2 Suite A Vineland, NJ (856) 691-0200 http://www.complexionsbydrwatts.com/ He has a few locations though so he might have one closer to you. I used to work for a dentist a while back and his wife went to him for her breast augm. and TT...he comes highly reccomended for our area unless you want to go into the city. Let me know what happens.

Congrats on taking the first step! It is an amazing experience and my confidence is soaring now. I'll practically drop my pants for anyone - LOL. I hope it turns out for you!!!! ~Tiffany

Dawn, If I have anything done, it will be on my dime....need me a good sugar daddy - just kidding! Good Luck with your decison! Tiff~be careful dropping your pants to just anyone! Rhonda

I hear ya!!!! Hmmmm.....where to find an old turd willing to pay for me to be purty. (of course he must be childless and unaware of those pesky things called pre-nups....I think we ALL learned from Anna Nichole's mistakes!!!! LOL) **ok, that was wrong** Dawn

You are to funny Rhonda.

$3500 is amazingly cheap. I hope you are able to make some arrangment.

Hi Dawn!!! I have no doubt you will get your goal!!! If you have decided to have your PS I am sure you will find the way... Regards Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico
