Ryn

I went for my consult today for a boobie lift and tummy tuck. I am all gung ho about it...just one concern how has everyone paid for their surgeries? Mine is about 13,000....

Tell me how y'all footed the bill.

Insurance is doing part for me and I'm taking out a home equity loan for the rest. Haven't had my consult yet, so I don't know how much I'm borrowing, but I suspect it will be more than 13,000 all together.

Wow...that is a bit high. Are you getting implants. Lift and TT for me here is 9900 and that includes two nights stay and a private duty nurse 24/7 in their luxury recovery suites.

Credit card and my stuff was much higher than $13,000. BL and BA was $10,000 by itself.

There is a plastic surgeon here that will do the surgery for free..if you donate your skin. Someone at work was telling me about this...still not verified. It's only for WLS patients..and I'm sure there is a certain criteria....like a lot of excess skin.....not something I am up for...but, for some, it's a screaming deal!

I don't think our skin is of any use because it is so damaged usually. I heard this one time too, but it was revealed to be a fraud pretty quickly.

If it sounds too good to be true...
