OK - BRING ON THE DUCT TAPE!!!
Very funny, I definatly need some duct tape. I always say that I look like a sharpee(not sure of the spellingthat little dog with the wrinkles). with out my clothes. Oh well, I will take that over the rolls of fat anytime. I dont know if I have the courage or the insurance coverage for PS so I guess I will have to get used to it.

Where are you at with the Plastic Surgery? I know that you were trying to get financing?
I am actually thinking about cashing out some money of my 401K to get the work done that I want.
Have a question about the tummy tuck---maybe you know the answer to this.
Can you get a tummy tuck without the muscle tightening? I have never had kids so I am wondering if my muscles are tighter down there. I just want a faster recovery time from my tummy tuck. My tummy is not really the issue. My girls are the biggest issue, but I thought if I am going to get one thing done why not go for the whole package and add on a tummy tuck to get that perfect tummy too.
We just found out that we got the loan today!!! Yahhhooooo!!! I'm so psyched!
Yes, you can get a tummy tuck without muscle tightning. I think they call it a panniculectomy (sp?). I hear it is a faster recovery without the muscle tightening because the muslce work makes it so hard to stand up straight - but i would ask a surgeon about it, because it would suck to get it done without the muscle work, then find out your muscles bulge out.
My girls are just GONE and what remains is just empty socks. So I'm getting a lift and implants - and an arm lift with lipo on the arms. I would try to combine more than one surgery because most surgeons reduce the price by 10-30% (depending on the surgeon) and you only have to pay one anesthiologist/operating room fee.
My surgery is costing me $13,400 - but in Indiana, it is probably cheaper. The average for breast work out here is around $5600. and the average for a tummy tuck is about $6000.
Good luck! Start researching surgeons in your area - find out who has free consultations. I went to one guy who charged a $75.00 consult fee and he was a wacky quack! The surgeon that didn't charge a consult fee is AWESOME and teaches plastic surgery at John Hopkins. So you never know!
