Thanks for the info. You got a great deal. I have my first consult on Tuesday. I was quoted 4800 for implants alone (Dallas- one of the most expensive places for ps). The lift would double that number. I'm praying I can get away with just the implant. I'm 35 and lost 68 lbs. with lap-band. Praying for a solution within my budget. Thanks again for the help.

ouch, that sounds high.  Good luck. 

FYI: I did not shop around for prices - I went to a doc that my doc (OBGY) recommended.  (but I asked around). I figured that with all the work that needs to be done --I need very good doc - since I was not planning to have implants.   
As long as implants would work for you - you may be better off not having the lift... a lot of scaring...

My Ba total  cost was 5 k whi*****luded surgery center anesthesiologist with  saline implants, If I wanted Gel implants it would cost be 1500 more , If i wanted a lift cost would be more 10 k total
Hope this helps

Thanks Lisa. My quote was about the same. My lap-band doctor recommended this surgeon. I adore my band surgeon and value is opinion so I'm thinking this one might be the one. I'm praying he is anyway.

I will pray for your sister. I'm so sorry to hear about your sister.
