Re: Chels-Belt Lipectomy-Kathy in Atl

January 6, 2006

Hi Kathy - thanks for that info - can you send me more, dr.'s name, where,

etc.??? I'm planning to spend a week in GA in March to do some job and house

hunting, see my sweetie and make some more definite plans to move there and

would love to set up a consult if possible. I'm seeing the docs in Iowa about

plastic surgery just to get a feel for what I need done and the cost and if

there's that much of a difference, it will be worth checking out the doc you

went to. I'm also considering Costa Rica as well. I definitely want at least a

tummy tuck and breast augmentation this year (IF I get my insurance

reimbursement...fingers crossed!) and may forego the full belt lipectomy to get

these two procedures done at the same time - unless they'll do my " boobs " and

" belt " at the same time!

I'd love to hear your story and how you did during surgery and recovery - the

good, bad and ugly! I'm not skeered! LOL!

Thanks again!

I just had to mention, I had a belt lipectomy exactly one year ago (1/03/05)

in Atlanta with a top surgeon. I " only " paid $10,000. Your price of

$22,600 sounds really high. Does that include your hospital stay? Does your

doctor do the surgery in a hospital?

I met with several surgeons before choosing which one, and price wasn't my

reason for choosing the one I used, but $22,600 is the highest I have heard.
