  1. onceagain....what do you mean???
  2. Ive gotta send him the pictures so he can give me a quote but my cousin paid $4500
  3. WOW!!!!! I swear this is like the craziest thing that has happened to me in a long time! here I am literally an hour before logging ton to verticlesleevetalk.com researching plastics in the Dominican Republic. I've lost 95 lbs so far and have another 40lbs to go to get to my goal weight, but already I've got the saggy skin on my belly, inner thighs and breasts. Seeing this post made me soooo happpyyyyyy as I too have the same concerns and fears. BTW...BabyPink....I think I know exactly who u are lol Anywho....I've got a cousin in the Dominican Republic at this very moment who had a tummy tuck, breast lift, and lipo with Dr. Lopez Collado. She is beyond pleased with her results so far. She is also beyond pleased with the care and attention she has been provided with. Honestly, I would love to be able to get my plastics done here in US and not have to leave the country, but unfortunately there is no way I would be able to afford it. I've heard horror stores of plastics in DR....I've heard horror stories about plastics in the US....it's a risk you take no matter where the surgery is performed I just need to get this extra skin off my body to feel complete. I still feel like a fat girl with all this excess skin hanging around everywhere and I wont be completely satisfied until its off. I've contacted Dr. Lopez Collado. He's requested I send him photos so he can take a look at my problem areas and be able to provide me with a quote....just gotta grow the balls to take nude photos lol :tongue2:

    Twelve Weeks Pregnant, Four Months Post Op

    Congrats!!!! Its a wonderful thing. Today is actually my 1 year surgiversary and I happen to be 9 months pregnant. Yup, thats right, got pregnant 3 months after surgery, and you know what??? All is well. Baby is growing well, healthy and he'll be here in a couple of weeks. I dropped 80 lbs thus far, went down a couple lbs during the beginning of my pregnancy and have pretty much stayed at that number ever since. You and your little peanut will do well. Make sure to eat well, take your vitamins, work closely with your doctors, stay hydrated and continue to moderately work out Congrats once again on the beautiful blessing God has given you.
  8. Hello beautiful ppl, so glad to see you are all doing well and have all been very successful. Well...I have not hit my 100 lbs mark yet, reason being I'm 6 1/2 months pregnant. Found out I was pregnant in January and it was a complete shock, although we are truly excited and very blessed. All is well, down 76 lbs since surgery in August of last year. When I first found out I was pregnant I weighed in at 219, today I weighed in at 214. Our little boy is growing well and all looks good. Once Sept comes around and he arrives, I will be back on my workout regimen to get to my goal weight. I've got about 40lbs to go and I know that with the dedication and commitment I had pre-pregnancy all will be well
  9. Hey Beautiful People, It's been 6 months since my surgery and so far I've lost a total of 75 lbs Started off at 290 and this morning I weighed in at 215!!!!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! 15lbs away from my first goal of getting to 200lbs and it is extremely exciting. Below are a couple of before and after pics...although I just realized I never really had full body pictures taken of me pre-op (so sad) Thank You all for your advice, support and feedback.
  10. Wooo Hooo awesome Cant wait to hear from you all every saturday

    Week 2--What are you having

    I'VE BEEN SO SO BAD. IM SUPPOSED TO BE ON PUREES AND SINCE WEDNESDAY IVE BEEN HAVING MASHED POTATOES, WENDYS CHILI,FISH AND CHICKEN BREASTS, VERY VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF EACH THING OF COURSE AND CHEWED UP TO THE POINT OF COMPLETE MUSHINESS AND IVE BEEN FINE AT ONLY 11 DAYS OUT. BUT I CHECKED MYSELF BACK INTO TRACK AND I WILL GO BACK TO MY SURGEONS RECOMMENDED DIET. CANT BELIEVE I DID THIS!!!!! BUT TIME TO RE-GROUP, GET FOCUSED AND STAY ON TRACK!
  12. I have had a remarkably wonderful recovery. No nausea, no terrible gas, and I feel wonderful. I feel ready to move on to other foods besides liquids, but the doctor says no! LOL! I need to heal inside, but I feel wonderful.....Once the drain was removed Monday, I felt waaaay better. Keep me updated.

  13. Cay thanks for your message. Thankfully I am doing much better. I never had the problem before surgery. Doctor recommended i take prilosec and then have a teaspoonful of malaax a couple hours later. That seems to be helping. I still have the discomfort but it is getting better. How are you feeling? I see we got sleeved on the same day... Wooo Hoooo for us ;) Please keep me posted :)

  14. Are you doing any better with the acid reflux? Did you have a lot of that before surgery? Hope you are doing better!

  15. Congrats baby girl!!!!! i never come on here to write but wanted to come and remind you how happy i am of u....love u manita!
