  1. 26 days until my surgery on Nov 9th!!!!! Dr Illan. Super excited!
  2. I believe everyone is different. I had my lbl last august and still experience occasional numbness in my lower belly. Swelling lasted for about 6 months.
  3. Hi there, I.kinda did things backwards lol I had my plastic surgery last year and will have my sleeve in November. I had lots of loose skin after having twins. I guess im considered a light weight at 185lbs. Anyhow, back to my point. I had an circumferential tummy tuck (or lower body lift), butt lift/augmentation, and liposuction. Everyone is different, but for me it was very painful!!!! I think the pain came mostly from the lipo. My Dr pulled me extra tight (which I appreciate now) so I was still walking hunched over well.into week 4. But even with all of that, I dont regret it one bit. My tummy is still flat but im afraid that with the weight loss from the sleeve, it will get flabby again
  4. Hi everyone, Just curious, for those of you who work, did u request vacation time off or sick leave? Im planning to take a week off (my work is not physical) and would like to take it as sick but at my job, anything beyond two days requires a Dr's note. Did ur Mexican surgeon provide one? Im not telling anyone at work about my surgery so I would need a very discrete Drs note. Thanks!
