Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Well, I had my consult. Dr. Jeffords wants to do a " total body lift " that would involved an incision all the way around, lift the stomach, mons, outer thighs, back, upper butt, tighten the abdominal muscles, and also suggested a breast lift with implants. If I do a lift without an implant he said I would be a small A. YIKES! We know that there is skin that needs to be removed from upper arms & thighs too, but don't think insurance will cover it. He is submitting for approval on the body lift & breasts. We took pictures (oh what fun) and discussed at length a lot of things. Costs- YIKES- all I can say is boy I hope insurance is generous because I dont know if I can justify going into thousands of dollars worth of debt to get this skin off- my husband is more than willing too- but I dont know that I am. The total body lift is $10k, adding breasts w/implants during same surgery is $6k. That includes anestesia, 2 nights in the hospital, surgeon fees etc. That is a lot of money. I have prayed about it and trust that if this is meant to be God will make a way and if not that he will place insurmountable obstacles in our way. I also trust that God will help me know the difference between a small obstacle and an insurmountable one. (grin) I am seriously considering getting a second opinion, but part of me says MORE NAKED PICTURES??!?! No way!! lol. I probably will end up calling Dr. Codner for a second opinion. Thanks to everyone for their support. Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
