I have had an upper body lift so to speak, I had a lift, my arms done and my sides to remove skin by my bra strap. That cost me 9,500. Now on July 1st I am having a lower body lift, a belt lipectomy for 9,000. I also paid for the WLS which was 24,500. Someone asked how in the world you find the money to do it all.. easy. You work for it. A second job for a year paid for all of this and was well worth it. If you really want it.. just put your mind to it and get it done. I took out no loans.. just worked. Granted that would of looked really nice in my savings.. but I knew all along I would need it all so I planned for it.
I know not everyone can just work a second full time job.. but even if its part time.. that money put aside adds up quickly.

wow...thanks for the great responses!!
Looks like Dr. Bolitho is right in the ballpark. I am not having implants as I have a lot of tissue. I'll end up a D he says, with out implants.

The question remains whether this is a good time, as I am still struggling with anemia. Just finished 5 of the 6 weekly infusions.

Seems crazy to elect to have surgery and risk blood loss. BUt if I don't do it soon, then the floppy boobs will be appropriate for my age...lol!!!

I love my surgeon also. As most of you have seen, he has given me the belly of my dreams, I am confident he will be giving me the boobs of my dreams as well.....just not sure when.................

I loooooove my flotation devices!

I postponed the skin tightening for now....not full time employed and wanted to see where life takes me before maxing out another credit card.
Four years post-op this month and the skin is starting to sag worse....less elastin and decreased fat is making the skin between my legs start to rub worse. There's a new laser procedure that doesn't involve cutting skin away. I will let you guys know when i can get it done and what the results are like. Perhaps in 3-4 months? Birthday present for myself in November?

Dang...I sound like I'm getting old

As Harrison Ford put it to the reporters about his new movie, "Look in the ****ing mirror, you're getting old too!" Ahhh.....that's Indy Jones for ya!

I had a full body lift (front & back) which gave me a butt, and paid almost
11K for it. It was the best money I've ever spent. I've always been heavy, so it's nice to have a flat belly for the 1st time in my life.
