  1. Not intentional at all, omg I just noticed it. That was me before always with a plate in my hand. Hahaha
  2. I couldn't be happier with my new me:) First picture - 06/01/2012 Second picture - 04-22-2014
  3. Thank you:) I have 295 high profile Smooth Round Mentor under muscle and no I haven't had any if those problems. They look very natural, unless I tell people I got them done, they don't know. I am really happy with Dr G and my body.
  4. Thank you:) Yes, I was at goal. I had the sleeve on June, 2012 SW 230. The day of my plastic surgery I weighted 121. To answer your question about the TT, for me the TT only make my stomach flat. I had my TT in 2007 after having kids. I just had a TT and belly button scar revision this time with my LBL, Butt Augmentation using the fat flap, Breast Augmentation and Medial Thigh Lift.
  5. Thank you ladies! I had a Lower Body Lift, Butt Lift with Fat Flat augmentation, Breast Augmentation with implants (no lift), Medial Thigh Lift and TT and Belly Button scar revision. Here are my before pics One of the pics showed my ugly TT scar that I had when I had my TT in 2007.
  6. Just know that this surgery has a long recovery. I am feeling better, but I am not myself yet. I am hoping to feel like myself in the next couple weeks. I am super happy with my Surgeon and my results. Have a Bless Day!!!
  7. I had a TT back in 2007 and I chose a horrible Plastic Surgeon at that time so my TT incision looked like a dog bite and my Nable (belly button) was left with a hole. So this time around when I had my surgery I asked my Artist (that's what I called my PS) to fix it for me and he did a beautiful job. I am very happy with all his work.
  8. I was in surgery for 11 hours. I am 4 weeks post op and I am feeling good. My first 2 weeks were the worse.
  9. Susy, I had all my plastics at once. Today, I am 4 weeks post op and I feel good, only my butt cheeks hurt a little. Just keep in mind that everyone heals at a different pace.
  10. Thank you:) yes, I had all that work at once. You will be at goal in no time:) The sleeve changed my life!!! And now after plastics I am very pleased with my results. I can't stop looking at my body. Lol
  11. Thank you:) yes I had. The first 2 weeks were though, but at 4 weeks I feel very good, only my butt cheeks hurt a little.
  12. Thank you:) I had a LBL, Butt lift with fat flap, Breast augmentation, Medial thighs lift and TT and Nable scar revision. I will post incision pictures tomorrow.
  13. I started my journey June 6, 2012 with the sleeve at 230 pounds, today 4 weeks after plastics with my Artist Dr. Victor Gutierrez. I couldn't been happier! I am loving my new body:) Before and after pictures below.
  14. Thank you and good luck with your surgery. I haven't actually sleep in my bed yet. I sleep in my electric recliner. I would advise an electric recliner for anyone that is thinking of having a LBL.
  15. Please ask as many questions you want. I asked the same questions pre-op. My husband bought me an electric recliner. The recliner has been the best thing for my recovery. I can seat and sleep in it just by using the remote. I am happy that all happen at one time, just one recovery. I flew home, I live in Florida. I am not going to lie, the first week was tough, but it started getting better after that. Today is my 18 days post op and I am feeling great, no pain at all just my new butt feel uncomfortable when I seat. Your time will come sooner than you think.
  16. From the first time I dialed his number I knew he was the one. After that I sent him pictures of my whole body and as soon he got my pictures he called me back and we were talking for over an hour about my reconstruction surgery. Then he asked me to go and get some blood work and send it to him. After he saw the results he gave me an approval to have the surgery. I have all those procedures at once and I stay in Mexico 7 days. Yesterday was my 2 weeks post op and I feel great. Dr Gutierrez called me daily since I left Mexico to check on me. I never had a dr that check on their patients daily after surgery. I will be posting more pictures as soon as the blisters that I got from the tape are better. If you have any questions just ask.
  17. Hi Terri, thank you! I am super happy with my new body, Dr Gutierrez is not only a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, but an Artist. My total cost was about $9000 for everything. I will be taking more pictures as soon as my blisters get better. I just had an allergic reaction to the tape. My husband keeps telling me that I have a body of a 20 year old now:)
  18. Iambeautiful, yes I lose all my weight first. I am sorry I didn't update my profile. I used to weight 230 pounds and I had the sleeve in June 6, 2012. My CW is 120 pounds. Thank you.
  19. I had the best experience with Dr Victor Gutierrez, Elsa and the whole team, I love my new body and I love my Artist!!! Pictures are from before and the same day of surgery. More pictures to come this week. Dr. Victor E. Gutierrez is not only a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, but also an Artist!!! You can completely put your trust in him to make the best decisions for your reconstructive surgery. I could not imagine myself going to any other PS after the excellent care I received from Dr. Gutierrez, Elsa and the whole team. You will not be a patient to them, you will become their family, that's how much they care. Dr. Victor Gutierrez is a Board Certified Plastic surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico. The entire process before and after surgery was an absolutely unforgettable awesome experience. I have never been cared for by another doctor so compassionately and lovingly the way that Dr. Victor Gutierrez and Elsa did. After my lower body lift, thigh lift, breast augmentation, butt lift surgery and TT and Nable revision my transformation is amazing. I am in love with my new body!!! His perfect and brilliant work has changed my life forever. Dr. Victor Gutierrez is absolutely without question the best, most highly educated doctor and amazing Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I recommended Dr. victor Gutierrez 100%.
  20. Thank you Renee! I don't know how I am going to sleep tonight:) I will take lots of pictures from tomorrow on. Thank you for all your help and support!!! You are an Angel:)
