I'm not saying you shouldn't have surgery - you're the only person who really knows if it is really what you should do. What I would say is that before you contemplate going under the knife that you should learn to love yourself as you are now.

thank you for saying what I was trying to say earlier, only much better. Surgery will only fix one problem, and although it's easy to fixate on ONE thing and think everything would be find and dandy if that one thing were fixed, it's rarely true ...

and the irony is - once you have a perfect tummy - you start noticing all the other imperfections !!

totally agree - we were talking about this in work when discussing what we'd spend our lottery win (when it happens!) on - I said as far as cosmetic surgery goes they can start at my ankles & work their way up!

there are somethings that even surgeons cant fix - genetically you can be given a dodgy nose or small boobs & these can be put right - I genetically have very curly hair & there is nothing on earth & no amount of money that can make it permanantly straight!!

Hi Lisa

I'm not going to lecture you on the should you shouldn't you part of this but I would ask you to be careful.

Some overseas surgery is cheap for a reason, also while the surgery is cheap if something goes awry you may need emergency care and that may not be covered by what you are paying so you could also need to have good insurance and many insurance companies would be reluctant (ie charge more) to insure someone who was going overseas for surgery.

My one plea is that you do your research first into the levels of skills and experience in other countries, many are as good or better than the medical profession here, others are not and this goes double for cosmetic surgery as opposed to surgery for medical reasons.

In terms of the money, get yourself over to the up your income board and there will be lots of ideas for raising cash. Sadly there are not that many that will reap you rewards overnight (or else we would all be at them) and you may get a lot of ebay/car boot suggestions.

I know someone who went overseas for cosmetic surgery, (Boobs and Tum) both times she ended up in hospital back in UK due to infections etc, please be careful!

Oh, and i know you wont listen, but having your belly done will NOT change how you view yourself...Yep, i know you dont want to hear it, but these things are deep rooted, you`ll only find another thing you "Hate" about yourself after your`ve had this done. Mind you you`ll be offered (or should be) counselling before having it done.
I`ve probably p*ssed you off no end now:(

Best of luck hun

There is a plastic surgery school that offers discounts because for want of a better word you are worked on by trainee plastic surgeons (obviously watched by professionals...i hope!)

Website is http://www.icr-surgery.com

I believe they had a 15 week programme on the discovery channel at some stage and the principal Dai Davies is a well respected plastic surgeon.

I'm saving up my pennies for this.
