Sorry if anyone is offended by my nude one but I wanted you to see how it was. That was about 2 or 3 weeks later.

Sorry for taking so long. I didn't have any problems with the surgery. I thought it would be really painful but it wasn't. I work in a huge kitchen so I took extra time off. I didn't want to take the chance of opening anything up. My only regret is I didn't tell him soon enough and he didn't have time to do my neck. Now I'm going back for that and get my eyelids done.

Hi all. I live in Red Deer. I had my VGS March 18 2013. I started out at 200lbs the day I had my surgery. I am also 5' tall. I was down to 135-138 lbs by Sept. I stayed at that weight for the next 5 months. I went to Mexico to Dr Almanza for my sleeve. I then went to see a surgeon for the excess skin removal. His name is Dr Sauceda who is also in Mexico. I had. Lower body lift breast lift with implants, long thigh lift and arm lift. I couldn't believe that in less then. Year I could have my dreams come true. Good luck to each and everyone of you on this in redo le journey.

Hi

I too used Dr Sauceda on Cowgirl Janes recommendation. I am 4 months post op and am doing great. I'm going back to see him in the fall for a neck lift and upper eyes to be done. Everything there was much better than if I had it done at home in Canada. Go to obesityhelp.com and look up Dr S and there will be a ton of helpful information. Good luck with whom ever you choose. The next step of your journey.

I agree with Cowgirl Jane. I used the same Dt and couldn't have asked for more. He's brilliant.

I went to Dr Sauceda also. I am so pleased with my results and they say things are not the end result until 6-12 months. Research all over to get the one you are comfortable with. I will be seeing Dr Sauceda again. I want some neck work done and maybe eyes.

Thanks again Cowgirl Jane. And I was suppose to have a small thigh lift but I ended up with a large one once he saw me. Everyday is a new day and never know what to expect.

Truer words were never spoken. I to am On the other side if my journey. I had my plastic surgery the 21 Feb. I had wonderful Dr. Sauceda in Mexico. I had large thigh lift, lower body lift, breast lift with implants, and arm lift. It is almost 3 months already. Things are almost back to normal and I'm so happy for it. The six weeks sitting was torture and the garments weren't much fun. The end results are amazing. Not perfect but oh so much better. I can not express the gratitude I have for each and every post in have read on these sites. A special thanks to Cowgirl Jane as she was the one who led me to the good Dr. I wish all of you happiness along your journey.

I had my VGS in Tijuana but am going to Monterry for plastics. I am not having it done until 20 Feb but just keep reading and researching to make sure I am getting it right. I took the advice if a few and cowgirl Jane and am having it all done at once like she did. I don't know if I could keep going over and over again like lots if them want. And yes even with flights it is much cheaper going to Mexico. I'll let you all know how I make out when it's my turn. Until then all if you who are just having it done it going before me all the best to you all.

I has my surgery in March if this year in Tijuana Mexico. We didn't have to bring one or even use one. I didn't see anyone who had them. I live in Alberta and I would have never even been considered for this surgery here as I had to loose less than 100lbs. I am at my goal already. I am so happy I has this surgery because it changed so many things for me and the weight is just a bonus. I am now getting ready fir my new adventure in February. I am going to Monterrey Mexico for my cosmetic surgery it get rid of all the loose skin. I can't wait for that day to come. All the best to you. You should have had your surgery today and u wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

Jane if you don't mind me asking about the cost. I am looking for similar if not the same thing. I live in Canada so am also curious about the flight home. If you could private message me that would be great. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me. You look absolutely wonderful.

March 18th. 200 starting weight. I am at my drs goal. 135lbs. Now I am looking for recommendations for plastic surgery in Mexico. Hope all you are doing good and their journeys are all they hoped for.

I also had my surgery the 18th March. I am down 55lbs but don't consider myself as a slow loser. I started at 200lbs and my doctor is very happy with my results. He told me that he would like me to stay at my present weight but if I was going to loose more he didn't want me to loose more than 10lbs. I really want to loose another 20lbs. I'll see what happens over the next few weeks. Great job all of you.

Oh yes I am 55 years old and I work in a huge kitchen.
