Tummy Tuck Question.

I went for a consult for a Tummy Tuck and a Breast reduction. He said that I Needed both and that we would do them separately, 3 months apart. He said that on the Tummy Tuck he thinks he will take off about 8-10 pounds. GET THIS THOUGH.... I have to do it twice! Apparently there is too much for him to take off in one sitting. so when I go back for the breast reduction he is going to take the rest off, ( I have to pay for that out of pocket) He says that I have a double roll, I call it a snowman minus the head. SO I have to do it twice. I asked him if there is anything I can do? He said no it was just my shape. Has anyone heard of this? He told me it should be no problem getting an approval. I should hear in 2 weeks. I mean yes it is bad but I don't think that mine is so much worse than everyone else's that I have to have it done twice. UGH this is so frustrating. I'm scared enough to do it once, only to be told you need it twice. GREAT :( What should I do? I am 5'6" and weigh 158. I wear a size 8 or 10. I admit that I am little in my arms and legs and carry my weight in my breasts and Tummy. I still don't fit into a DD bra. The Dr U saw has done almost all of the people from my support group and they didnt have to do it twice, most of them hadn't lost as much weight as I had and were still over 200. He is going to do the anchor and is NOT going to work on my muscles. Nicole
