Picture of my new tummy...
I saw a post on here the other day from someone who had all of that stuff approved by insurance, so maybe you'll get lucky and get more approval than just your tummy! I hope so. I know just how awful it is dealing with insurance.
I'd use a residency program, for sure, if I needed to save some money. There are some great programs out there.
I had a class four days after surgery, and was able to do the all day class on Monday and Wednesday's with no trouble. I can't believe how painless this recovery has been for me (except for the drains, but that's not really "pain"). I bet if you scheduled during one of your breaks (Like Christmas or Thanksgiving), you would be fine if you only had the TT done.
Hope you find a way. It's SO worth it! Congratulations on your weight loss!

Thanks. My TT surgeon was Dr. Leveque at http://www.gulfcoastplasticsurgery.com/
Her partner, Dr. Butler is also very good. Dr. Leveque loves doing tummy tucks, and is very good at them.
They are in Pensacola, FL. Not sure what part of Alabama you are from, but I know of a few other good surgeons scattered across the area. I was reading a blog the other day from a girl who got a great price and great results from a surgeon in Decatur http://www.decaturplasticsurg.com/
She paid 8200.00 for her tummy, breasts, and some lipo this year. Here's her blog...http://tummytuckblogger.blogspot.com/2012/05/tummy-tuck-consultation-day-aka-meet.html
These guys are really good, too, in Huntsville http://www.dyaplasticsurgery.com/
I know of others that are good. Lots of good info on this board, too.
