Hey Stephanie!!!!!!! Where the heck have you been? I though of you yesterday when I saw that Rick was gonna be on Regis and Kelly. The board is just not the same anymore without you and the rest of the upstaters that used to be here everyday. I'm at a point where I need support and encouragement now more than ever and I wi**** was like it was almost 2 years ago when I first discovered this board. I lurk everyday but don't see any activity much and I'm not one to start anything, so I just hang out and lurk then go away. We need a big reunion. Don't stay away so long.

Hi Ron!  I'm sorry to not have introduced myself before but I mostly lurk here now.  Your post is powerful and really spoke to me.  It must be challenging to be in a new place with new stresses and still have to maintain your tool and not succumb to the triggers of daily life.  I'm not there yet, I'm only 18 months out and still in the "honeymoon" phase but I am learning from those who have gone before me.  Please feel free to post thoughts and feelings and struggles, that's what we're here for, to support each other!  Whether you know it or not, you are an inspiration to us who are not as far along, the good AND the bad.  I like to be prepared and seeing what struggles lie ahead doesnt scare me..it helps to prepare those of us who may feel that we've found the "magic" formula for weight loss.   It's alot of work and will be for the rest of our lives!  Keep your chin up..we're here for you!

Hi Stephanie.  I don't know where everyone has gone...the old regulars haven't posted in AGES.  Hope you are well....

Dr. Harvey did my plastics in DT Charleston.  I had a TT and BA and it was around $11,500.00 (all inclusive).  He did it outpatient in his surgery center.  There are quite a few of us Charleston girls that have used him and we love him...

I also know Dr. B recommends the MUSC doctor.  If you can get your insurance to cover it that is great, but they do it inpatient at MUSC which makes it a lot more expensive if insurance doesn't cover it.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

I am just starting to do some reaserch on getting plastic surgery after weight loss and am looking for any info on which doctor is the best and about how much does it cost. I am looking to have a tummy tuck, breast lift, inner thight lift and maybe getting rid of the extra skin from my arms. If anyone has any sugestions they would be most welcome
