    @vsteele6 Just under $9k for the four procedures, including the 10 day stay, all my meals included, pain meds, compression garments, and lymphatic massages. I did not find him on a website, I had three personal recommendations for him.

    I HAVE A DATE!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

    I will be having a CRAP TON done on July 18! I cannot even believe it!

    I will be having the fleur de lis abdominoplasty (vertical and horizontal), Upper torsoplasty, lateral chestplasty, and extended arm lift.

    Fleur de lis is both vertical and horizontal incisions. Torsoplasty will be a circumferential incision and smooth out the excess skin on the chest and back. Lateral chestplasty will help take care of the skin on the sides of the chest and put the girls back in place. Extended arm lift goes elbows to armpits to get rid of the bat wings.

    I'm going to be all Frankensteined, but I don't care. It's to the point that dressing myself is ridiculous and uncomfortable.

    Now, I know everyone will ask what insurance is covering, if I got it approved, yadda yadda. NOPE. SELF-PAY. I'm taking a line of credit on my home and paying myself. I would take a loan for a car, so why not for my body? SELF PAY? YOU'RE NUTS! Nope. I'm nuts because I'm going to Tijuana! I have three personal recommendations to Dr. Irving Rodriguez. So, I'm doing it!

    Questions will be answered. Criticisms met with snark and sarcasm. :wink:

    Congratulations. That is a fantastic price for self-pay. I would love to hear about your experience with the plastic surgeon's and see your results.
