How much did you spend on PS?
I was just wondering about this because it is something I am going to do for sure. How much did you guys spend on PS and what did you have done? Also how much weight came off with skin/fat after your PS?

I can answer part of your question.....but mine is upcoming (Oct 11). I am getting a TT that extends around to get the love handles (some don't, and some go further to get back fat). I am getting the boobs lifted and implants added (and they are taking some extra skin from the sides), and I am getting my gobbler removed. It is technically 5 procedures, but to me is 3......boobs, tummy, chin. My total for everything (doc, anesthesia, facility, implants including warranty) is $17,025. It is being done outpatient, so no hospital stay involved.

Also, price over here depends upon whether or not the surgeon uses saline or silicone.

Mine would maybe have been about that or just slightly higher priced without my other procedures done along with it. Basically, I was charged $4,000 for each procedure, then a fee for facility and one for anesthesia. Dale mentioned the kind of implants.....mine will be gel, but I don't know if there is a price difference here or not.

My wife had her gastric by pass surgery 8 years ago and lost a tad over 100 lbs - which she has kept off with no problem. Since then she has had:
1 breast lift procedure
1 arm reduction procedure
1 tummy tuck
1 tummy tuck revision
1 lipo suction session covering back, sides
Fortunately, we somehow got the insurance to cover the breast lift, but I had to pay for the other procedures. The total cost for all these proedures was probably in the neighborhood of $20K. The only procedure which we were not happy with was the arm reduction - it seems it is a difficult procedure to have done well and to heal up from without complications due to skin tension and movement.
In the coming year, she is going in for some scar revision work, some face work to treat some sunken areas caused by weight loss, and some final lipo to remove a couple of small problem areas on her back that just wont respond to exercise. We also want to do another arm job if we can find a surgeon in our area who can pull it off. Anybody out there know a plastic surgeon in California who can do a good arm job?

me
Mine cost me (I just paid for it)$10,600.00 thats for a full body lift front and back and lipo in the pubic area plus the facilites, the put you to sleep doc, and a pain pump for 3 days. No hospital stay for me either. He says I have about 15-20 pounds of skin, but I really won't know for sure till I get it done. Mine will be 10/20,(WOO HOO!! ) so I can let you know after that.
