I had my sleeve done on 6/11/2015. I feel pretty good. Mine was a revision from the band and the spot that hurts the most is where my port was taken out. I am able to drink slowly. I am excited to be on the losers bench. I lost 25 pounds during my one month pre op diet so I am ready to keep going!!

For sure we should keep in touch! I am having it in Juarez with Dr. Rodriguez. You?

Dr. Rodriguez did my band 9 years ago. He is a very nice man and very experienced. I will be getting a revision. I am nervous but excited.

I had the procedures you mentioned in your post. I had the groin incision thigh lift twice. I didn't like the results the first time so the doctor did it a second time for free. I didn't want the big scar going down to my knee so I stuck with the lesser of the two surgeries. Results-wise I am WAY better than before and my scars the first time around evened out perfectly to nice flat scars. The second surgery was last week, lol, but I have had no healing issues and I think my doc did just as good of a job the second time around as the first.
The boobs are a plus, I would agree, and while the brachioplasty comes with the tradeoff of very visible scars, I would still have it done again. I currently have brachioplasty scar shame, largely because I've had my arms covered all winter and soon enough I'm going to have to wear short sleeves and I am concerned people will make will make fun of me. I think with a little make-up it will be ok and once I'm past initially having my scars seen, I doubt it will be an issue. The fantastic contour is worth the scars to get ride of the big bat wings.
My abdominoplasty is still the surgery that blows me away. Holy flat stomach. I have never in my life had a totally flat hard stomach and I love it. I'm still recovering from the posterior body lift and auto butt augment, but comparable to the front half, I've never had a butt that wasn't droopy looking. Plastics are the bees' knees, but with all the plastics in the world, I'm not going to grow 6 inches and have a BMI of 18 like those VS girls. Lucky b*tches!

@@Janex43 what hotel does he use?

You look amazing!!!!

Tiffykins, You look amazing!! Did you have any issues with loose skin?

What is everyone's plan if there are complications after you get back home? I am more afraid of that then the surgery itself. It's the reason I am having second thoughts.

Thank you so very much ! ! !
I got to goal in 6.5 months with 115lbs lost, and then I dropped another 23ish pounds over another 4 months as I got into maintenance. I had maintained my loss for almost a year until the pregnancy hit, and I've gained a few pounds with the pregnancy.

Thank you for your posts. I am having surgery with him on June 12th And its good to hear of others experiences. He did my band 10 years ago and is now doing my revision. I am also an RN so I loved hearing your point of view. I do speak Spanish though so I will be asking for those guantes!! LoL please keep us posted on your progress.

@@psychicrhino that is awesome! You're still feeling good and doing your walking? Are you on full liquids or pureeds now?
I've not had any problems so far. Got all my liquids and Protein (shakes) in yesterday, and am on track again today. Not having any problems getting/keeping anything down, I just have to go slower. It amazes me how fast I get full!!! dinner last night was 8 oz of Unjury chicken broth and a little bit of sugar free Jello.

My date is June 15th! I am a teacher so I scheduled my surgery for the first Monday we are out so I have to summer to recovery. I am grateful for this extra time to really think about the decision I am making and research and prepare myself for the all the major changes that are going to be taking place in a few short months.
On a side note, we got an invite to a wedding the Dominican Republic in November. For the first time in my life I am not freaking out about wearing a bathing suit around a bunch of people who like just they did when we were in high school because I will be thinner! Woohoo! So excited !

My date is June 12th!!! I am SO excited and scared !!! Cannot wait! I will be going to Juarez with Dr. Jose Rodriguez he is doing my revision and he originally did my band. I live is South Bend, IN. Where is everyone else from?
