Well the price was for the or the anesisa(sp?) and to stay at the hospital for a day which I guess with that in mind it is a good price I talked to my sister and she said It is probally becase I have a lot more skin to take off than her. I was 326 and she was 250 so I was a lot bigger than her so I guess from that point of view I cant fuss over the price difference. For the one question I saw.. the way I affored the TT was my hubby borrowed money off his 401k to pay for most of it and the other half I penny pinched for 4 months and put most of my work checks away to save for it . Ofcouse we have to pay the money back but it will taken out of his check every week for I think 2 or 3 years I forget which. they are only taking like $60 a week so that is why so long. Other wise we could have never affored it. As far as getting my arms done I will be penny piching again this time for 6 or more months to TRY and save enough money. My sister was back to work in 2 weeks with no problems and I think I did BETTER as far as recovery with my TT than I did with my WLS. When I has Wls my inscion split open and would not close and got infected and doc kept saying would heal on its own to leave it I inored him and taped it closed and kept it clean and becase I taped it closed in a week after that it healed so not all docs know best at all times. I had my appendix taken out 4 months after WLS it erupted on me while at work and I got a Really bad infection that would not heal and had to go to doc 3 times a week for like 6 weeks to have it clean and packed but It healed nicely so It all depends on the doc. I saw first hand how the Plastic surgen was I watched his work thru my sisters surgery and he was amazing he went beyond his duty with her so tha is why I picked him and I must say he did do a great job on me I was scared and was expecting the worse after watch all those plastic surgey before and after shows and I was worried for nothing. I do have two small spots that still need to heal but the rest is already healed and to the point that you can hardly see the scar. So I hope that your bad expericene from Wls surgery will not make you not do plastics later. Some people are lucky and their insurance pays for plastcs I was just not one of those lucky ones so you never know. My insurance did how ever pay for my WLS and for my emergancy appendix. So keep your chin up and big hug to ya :-)
