@@bellabloom Well I almost bought Carmel Hershey kisses today but I fought the temptation.

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch Well, my saliva and soon to be my husbands blood if he brings this crap in the house again.

Ok I've been researching and this Surgeon in Mexico has stellar reviews. He's on "real self" website. You can get a "mommy make over" for 9000-9300 which includes breast augmentation, tummy tuck & Brazilian butt lift. That's pretty darn good seeing as how just a Brazilian butt lift averages 6500-14,000 here in the US. My husbands in the living room planning a Cancun vacation now lol!! Here's what I've found with some prices.

Well my husband brought this home so it's a good possibility over here. Lord, give me strength!! I think he secretly hates me!!

@@Daisee68 WE need to check that out! Emphasis on the WE.

@@Daisee68 How much is it in Mexico?

@@Daisee68 We need to just get a group discount and all go!

@@liannatx I'm excited too. I just wish I could skip the recovery part. Why does beauty HAVE to hurt?! Nothing's easy!! (I'm getting my whining out a little early for good measure)

@@NewSetOfCurves Wow! That's not a bad price. I have no clue how much this will cost yet but I was figuring around 12 for the boobs? That may be too much but I'm guessing high so I'm not in shock. I'm not against leaving state if I need to to get the best surgeon and price. I don't know anyone who's been to Mexico to have things done but I'm sure there is someone....

@@jane13 They are usually just for kids but we wanted to try it. It's has never hurt turning it. I was waiting for the pain but nothing. It's fully expanded now. I can't turn it anymore. Trust me I tried. I have my appointment next Wednesday so hopefully we can move on to the braces.

@@Queen of Crop Congratulations! Exciting! Of course I have nothing to offer in the way of answering any of your questions but still...yay!!!

I'm glad I could put my whole mouth on display for everyone and their mother to see lol! Whatever I have no shame!

It's going to be a long process. I will have braces put on soon to Finnish pulling everything outward

@@jane13 It's opening! I have a picture. Sorry I know it's not pretty but that's why I'm fixing it! The funny thing is you can't even tell my teeth are messed up unless I open my mouth, throw my head back and show people. It's another one of those things I'm doing for myself. All of this is for me. Not for anyone else's. It's all things that I want fixed for my own peace of mind. The picture is (left) one months progress and the (right) was the day I had it put on. I'm pretty excited about it since I had about a 10% chance of it working.

@@*Lexie* It's amazing what clothes can do. I have so VS bras. The best one I have is the new spanxs bra. It's expensive, I think I paid 76 bucks for it but it's really good! The problem is the gap on the inside where there's no skin. It doesn't fill the cup out anymore. I need that volume back. Thigh lift is out for me. The scars are huge from what I've seen so if I had them I wouldn't show my legs anyway. Same with the TT. I'm still not going to show my stomach more than likely. I'm still debating on that. I guess it will come down to cost.

@@*Lexie* wonderful! I'm going to ask that. I'm more excited about the boobs than anything. I'm not sure about the TT. I want it, I think but it depends on how much the two will cost together. My stomach doesn't bother me as much as my boobs being gone though. Well you can't tell in a shirt as pictured from yesterday but that's just a good bra. I want that but with out having all that. Under there is not pretty. My husband is on board but he doesn't see why I want them so bad. It's a girl thing I guess

Looking good! Congratulations!

I found this one. I had already lost 45 lbs in the picture on the right but this is the only one I could find. I was 220-ish there. I wasn't fond of taking pictures of myself. I took that one because I actually thought I looked good

First thing I ever did was call my health insurance company (BCBS -FED) and spoke to a live representative. We went over all my questions that I had hand written before calling. I checked each one off as I went through to make sure I asked everything I wanted to know in one phone call. I'm not the most patient person so multiple phone calls was not in the plan. After I got all of my answers I had them email me everything too so there would be no issues down the road. I knew exactly what I had to do to get qualified and I did that. My surgeons office had things wrong more than once. How long I had to do the pre-op NUT visits. What numbers I needed to qualify seeing as I had no comorbids. Luckily I knew so I was able to correct them and keep thing moving at a fast pace. No going back, no submitting paper work at the wrong time, no wrong numbers ect....I was persistent and armed with the information I needed from the jump. 3 months and not one day longer than what I needed to do and I was approved.

People say stupid shit all the time. It's almost like they don't understand that not filling the air with their voice would be perfectly acceptable. Apparently they haven't heard the saying " It's Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt." Just say a prayer for them and keep it moving.

@@frankenstein Let me just say 99% of what your worried about is Bullshit. The only thing true about that is the permanent part. Honestly you can do all of that after surgery, once your healed I'd say by 6 months out you will be shocked. They tell you all of that to scare you into taking the surgery serious. I couldn't guzzle water after surgery but today I just drank a whole 16.9 fl oz bottle of water in 3 minutes. I can eat and drink at the same time. I don't because I don't want to make the food go through my stomach faster but I can. You can defiantly drink beer. Now, you won't be able to "guzzle" beer because it's full of carbonation so that will not feel good. There's is NOTHING I can't do that I did before. You're going to find it more trying NOT to fall back into old habits. Thank god I can't eat as much!

You're not eating enough. If you're exercising that much and eat so little you are putting your body into starvation mode so it's going to hang on to whatever it has. Might sound crazy but try to eat a high carb, fat day. See if you don't drop weight. Not high sodium!

Dang! I wish I would have sat down with a drink tonight while reading these post. You guys are entertaining! I have a drink every once in awhile, well anytime I choose really seeing as how I'm over 3x7 so it's legal! Alcohol effects everyone differently. Period. I would assume everyone here is within drinking age sooooooo you'll figure out your limit. You should live a little. It doesn't matter if it's drinking or having a bite of cake. You still have to live and enjoy life. I haven't restricted my self from ANYTHING yet. Everything in moderation. If you do lose weight after drinking it's a good possibility that your dehydrated seeing as alcohol will do that, hints the reason why you're so thirsty in the morning! Drink lots of fluids. Don't drink yourself stupid everyday, take a Girlfriend to the bathroom with you when you're out. That's when all the good convo happens anyway. Duh!! And to some of the others on these threads getting all worked up..skip the alcohol and drink some smooth move tea to help loosen whatever it is you have stuck up your butt laughing!

Do I need to pull out the butt hurt papers?! Don't make me pull out THE papers! Some of you will spend all night filling it out.

@@Salinagetssleeved Hey I watched your video! Nice lipstick! And all the other stuff too! Good luck with everything!
