I went to Mexico. $10,500 for 360 LBL, BBL, Lipo in 3 sections, and male chest reduction. Price included 2 nights at the hospital + 8 nights recovery at the Hyatt hotel where they had 24/7 nursing. I did have to pay about another $1k for first class flights to get there and back, but that could have been cheaper if I went coach. Flew into San Diego, CA, and they had a driver pick me up and drive me across the border (about a 45 minute drive from San Diego to the hospital in Mexico).
Researched and found a surgeon I liked. Followed the surgeon's daily procedures on Instagram and Facebook for nearly a year, and interacted with LOTS of his past patients in the FB group to get a good comfort level.

I highly recommend...
Miami, Colombia or Dominican Republic
You will get a high quality beautifully sculpted body at a competitive price
Miami is American soil if you fear traveling to another country for plastics and it has everything (including the standard rules and regs) look in the Coral Gables area
Colombia you will get the absolute tightest sculpted TT (Medillin or Cali)
Dominican Republic you will get the juiciest BBL in 1 round (IDK the exact area to look up)
Bonus... You'll still have $$$ left

I'm sorry for those in pain, it sucks!! I had a revision from vbg to rny gastric bypass, gallbladder removed and hiatal hernia repaired! It was a little much, but I was able to start walking 4 hours afterwards.
Gasx has been a Godsend! I'm taking it religiously to help with gas pain, I think it really is.
We made it guys, still can't believe it myself, but we made it!!!
Congratulations and prayers for speedy recovery to all!

How is everyone feeling today? We made it to the losers bench!! Gas pains suck!!!!! We did it guys

Hey Confidently,
I just got home about 2 hours ago from the hospital. This pain is sooo bad, they I have thrown up- just took my very limited supply
of OXy and it came up with the throw up. cried a little Over that.

NewEnglanderGal how’s the pains going? Hope you’re feeling much better!!!

I’m sleeved S well and in my own private room. I feel absolutely great, except I keep dozing off every 20 minutes or so. I have slight irratation at the top of my rib cage which I’m guessing is the gas. Haven’t been cleared to walk yet but I believe we will be soon.

I'm all sleeved and in my room until tomorrow! The gas pain is for real. I've never been so happy to burp in my life. My mouth is super dry, but alas, everything went perfectly. Being a nurse, it's hard to be the patient!

I hope everyone else's procedures go smoothly. I'm thinking of you all!

Sooooo Excited for you girls!!! Mine is tomorrow and I’m living with you today!!! Congratulations!! YOU HAVE MADE IT!💝🌟👌
Please let us hear from you when able!❤️

Absolutely! I'm at hospital waiting to be prepped. Lots of love and prayers to ALL❣

1 hour until I leave for the hospital 🥳 I slept so well last night, that has to be a good sign, right ?!?!?

Good luck guys!! We got this❣

Honey, I’m right there with you! Dear hubby just talked me down off the ledge when I frightfully (after ALL the effort to get to this point!) said “I know we’ll have a life again (unlike past 2 weeks of pre-op😩)...I am doing the right thing, aren’t I?” When all along, up until this point, it’s been me convincing him it’s right for me. It sure feels schizo doesn’t it?!?!😜
It’s a time for us to be gentle with ourselves✨, not over think this, not doubt our decision. For me, this has been a 6 month+ process of studying, soul and mind searching, never doubting it was going to be good.
Smile today, drink plenty of Water, project thoughts 6 months from now and how we’ll be light and airy and remembering this humble moment when we stood tall, took a deep breath and redesigned our future!
Love, hugs and All Wonderful Wishes to everyone!❤️

We're too close to go back now! I suppose we just got to keep our heads low those 2 days and then deal with everything one day at a time.
Best of luck to all!

Yeah super nervous. More so about having regrets after than any complications. I lost 10 lbs this month by following the diet. So it gets on my head that I could do this without surgery if I keep doing what I’m doing now. But I also know I’ve told myself this before and it didn’t work.

Don't even worry about it, just keep on keeping on and it will all be over soon!
Only 4 days now💃💃💃

From reading this site, I think its referred to as head hunger. I do fine during the day while at work, but at home when my family is eating dinner I struggle. I just have to stay strong and power through it. Certainly I'm not the only one who has felt this way, right?

I started my liquid diet yesterday (actually 2 days early than needed). The Premiere Protein Carmel is to die for! I fully expect it to be too sweet for me post op.
I tried the Swanson chicken Bone Broth (plain) -- not bad. I have to find the other flavors though.

I am March 5th! Im in the middle of the pre-op clear liquid diet phase or as I like to call it "About to eat one of my kids phase" lol!

I’ve sneaked a few nibbles 😩 but it just hit me surgery is MONDAY 🤯 NO more nibbles!

Thought it was just me with the chalky taste... also they leave my lip a bit stiff lol the crystal light have been better than I thought but I find some of them to be a bit too sweet

Hey everyone. This is my first post. I found this site last night while struggling mentally with the LSD. My surgery is also on 3/9. I am on a high Protein liquid-only diet for 14 days. The last two are Clear Liquids only.
I wanted to share some of the drinks that I have found to be appealing in the last 7 days to help some of you who are just starting.
The Primer Protein chocolate was my go-to, but in the last week, I have found it to be too thick and a little chalky. I seem to have latched on to the Muscle Milk Light. It's not as thick but checks all the boxes.
My guidelines in my book for shakes are under 160 calories, between 15-30 grams of protein and less than 5 grams of sugar. I can have 5-6 of them.
I'm also allowed 2 servings of skim milk, all the Water (with crystal light) I can drink, sugar-free Jello and popsicles as well as broth. I did the Swanson's Bone Broth stuff three times last week and that was all I could handle. So I do bullion cubes in hot water, or I found a brand called "Better than Bullion" which is a paste that you add to water. It's pretty good.
I try to save my milk for night time and treat myself to a Protein Powder shake. I make sure it meets the guidelines listed above. Ghost Protein has one called chips Ahoy. It's amazing. I drink that about 9:30 pm. I'm not hungry overnight and don't get hungry for Breakfast until about 8:30 am the next day.
I'd also like to note that Grape Crystal Light is wonderful. It tastes so good!

2 weeks and they made it clear that if you don't do it, you won't have the surgery. I've fasted before, so I know what to expect. I used to fast for 14-21 in the fall, but the acid reflux couldn't handle green juice fasting anymore.
Actually, I'm into day 2, and so far, so good. I think it's the Protein Shakes.

Heh, I'm on straight liquids, broth, sugar free popsicles and Jello. That's it for me, or and Water of course. Yeah, that Cookies and Cream.... yuck. I just threw out some old ones this weekend when I purged the refrig of all foods...
