HAF

To answer my own question...I had my surgeries (TT, breast lift, implant exchange, flank lipo and fat grafting to my butt) this past Friday (2.28) with Dr. Salvador Medina at OCC and despite the fact that I am swollen and bruised, I am already SO happy with how everything turned out. He is a perfectionist and exceeded my expectations. I'm sore but so, so, so happy!!

WIll let you know! I'm going in on the 28th (Will be in TJ with my BFF who is getting plication so I figured why not??)

I posted another thread but thought I'd ask here as well... has anyone done Plastic Surgery at the Ariel Center at OCC? I scheduled a couple of procedures there based upon the good sleeve experience I had, but haven't seen much as far as feedback for the plastics part of the practice. I did have Juvederm with Dr. So while I was there in December and he was great but that doesn't tell me about his surgical skill. Thanks!!!

Has anyone done plastics through the Ariel Center at OCC? I just scheduled my tummy tuck and breast lift/implant revision but haven't seen much about this part of the practice. My sleeve experience was great and I hope the plastic experience is as well.

I was sleeved by dr O on the 19th and used Unjury products.

Good luck to all the sleepers this week mine went great yesterday and I am now back at the hotel resting. All that worry for nothing. You were all so right about the quality of care here. I'm so happy I did this ands I was so happy to meet up with slvrsax and adoptive mom as well.

Ok, so I leave tomorrow and the extreme fear has set in! I feel confident that I picked the best possible surgeon, but still, I am so nervous!

Going ziplining in Honduras a few weeks ago and being the only person in my group of 10 that required an extra harness due to my weight. I was humiliated.

I look forward to having some broth with all of my fellow sleevers in TJ next week 6 days and counting! If any of you want to add me on Facebook it's www.facebook.com/heartsofstone

Thanks Hoosiergirl. Your experience helped make up my mind about Dr. Ortiz Adoptive mom, perhaps I'll see you. Oddly enough, I'm the very blessed mom of a 16 month old baby boy through adoption This whole thing feels so surreal. I've been researching forever but to finally get a date.....scary!!

I'll be there 18th-22nd Surgery on the 19th.

I just booked my sleeve today for 12.19 and suddely I am freaking out! lol
