  1. I'm having TT, BL, BA, and lipo on the 10th of March in Tijuana with Dr Pantoja. I'm scared to death..lol..I've had vsg in Mexico at OCC. I am excited. I'm going to stay in a motel for a week after with my husband. Keep in touch we can compare.. I'm 41, 5'8 157 lbs . I want at least 500 cc silicone overs but won't know for sure til day of surgery. Boo!! Good luck!!

  4. Named mine VICTORIA. Because we are victorious!!!
  5. I do not think wearing a tampon would be a very good idea due to toxic shock syndrome. I had started my period day of surgery but it stopped once I was out of surgery. Don't risk dying over something like that. I'm sure many Dr's have seen this before.
  6. I am scheduling lipo, ba,bl, and tummy tuck. I was (and of course my husband too) wondering about what size implants to get...and how do I know what they will look like afterwards. I've looked at tons of pics and I know I dont want them to look like two big balls jutting out of my chest....

  9. My surgery was yesterday and it went great with Dr Ariel Ortiz. I can't believe its real. Lil discomfort but no real pain. I'm so happy!!
  10. Sitting here by the pool at the Marriott just enjoying myself. Sleeved yesterday and didn't even remember it. Woke up in my room and asked my hubby if I had surgery. Just discomfort some but hardly any pain at all. It really doesn't feel real yet!!! I'm looking forward to a fantastic future loving myself!!! Thanks everyone on here for encouragement!!!

  17. I'm flying in on 25th with surgery on 26 th . I'm doing mine at OCC with Dr Arial Ortiz. We are staying at the Marriott. If your staying there we might run into you.
  18. You look great. What are you going back for? I want a breast lift and implants after I'm at goal weight. Hard finding out prices tho.
  19. I have about 90 pounds to lose and many ppl have told me ( even on here) that I should and could do it on my own. The reason I don't is I'm addicted to food. From hiding it everywhere and I finally confessed to my husband. I'm trying to overcome little by little. I've tried many diets and exercise regimens but it only last a short while then the few pounds I lost come back double. I'm just sick of the cycle and this is my hope for a healthier love myself life.
  20. Im looking into getting implants and a lift after goal and wanted to know who might be recomended in Mexico and price also. Thanks!!
