  1. Happy 37th Birthday quennee!

  2. Happy 36th Birthday quennee!

  3. 3 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 3rd Anniversary quennee!

  4. I had a LBL in Jan of 09 I was out of work for 14 weeks, but thats due to me being in law enforcement. I needed alot of help for the first week and then it soon tapered off. I wished now that I would have had the breast lift with implants the same time but I decided to do that at a later date. I am a 40dd and would like to stay that or a d, my gf had a breast lift and dropped two cup sizes I do not want that. I also was about 15 pds from the goal and I have yet got to my goal weight. I only went down one-two sizes depending on what I wear, but boy does my back hurt less. I am looking at doing an inner thigh lift maybe the same time as my breasts, but I haven't decided due to very few people being overly happy with the inner thgih results. Wish you the best!!!
  5. I really don't understand why anyone would waste the money and have plastic surgery prior to having children. I had a LBL in Jan and I would not want to go through this surgery again. Have children and then touch up your body, don't waste your dollars until your done stretching out.

    Procedure costs.

    I paid 7500 for lipo of the thighs and lower body lift in Mexico, I will be going back next year for implants and breast lift costing 4350. I will definately get all of my work done there. The cost is half what it's here and the care is better than here as well.
  7. Well the lift is 3350 and the implants with lift is 4350, but I use a ps in Mexico. I think the cost for the lift in the states is 6000 and the implants another 2000. I think its like double here. I am happy with my size just worried that they will look perky but flat on top without implants. i think I have pretty much decided to just go for the gusto and do both. I am also considering a thigh lift, however haven't heard alot from people that did that.
  8. I am planning to have breast lift in 2010 and I am currently a 42d. My ps states that I will not need implants, but I feel that I will not be happy with the tops of my breasts. Has anyone had the surgery without implanys and had to go back in or were unhappy with the results. Also how many sizes did you go down after the surgery. The cost of the lift is real cheap as well as the implants and lift, so there is just a minor difference. Please let me know what you think.

    Tummy tuck questions

    I have had a lbl in Jan 09 and I had never had children, however the dr did muscle repair. I was thinking that I would'nt need it due to not having children but when you gain and lose weight you stretch your muscles. I am happy with my results but it was quite a recovery. I was on pain meds for 10 days and didn't sleep in my bed until week 3. I am going to have a breast lift in 2010 and I am currenlty a 42d but I will opt for implants due to everyone that had surgery regretted not having implants after the lift. The lift not only makes them smaller but it doesnt help the fullness. Hope all this helps ask any questions and I will try to answer them.

    Need Feedback on Tijuana Surgeon

    I used CoseMed with Dr Quiroz I am happy with the results and I am planning a breast lift and thigh lift next year with him next year.
  11. I had no reservations regarding the surgery, in fact I decided and booked it all in less than a month. I have contacted Dr Manuele's office and they are of no help to me. They did not return my call and they insist on files and records that I do not have access to. I am not impressed with their lack of enthusiasm with helping me even though they no that I am over-filled. They also advised me the Dr determines wether I would need a fill/unfill, I am sorry but I know my body better than he does. I am the only person that dictates that. Good luck to you and it does take time to find a sweet spot. I had my fill in March and it wasn't over tight until almost a month later.

    Mexico Surgery

    Yes I had two drains and I wished I wouldn't have stayed down there so long with hopes of having my drains removed. I thought I was going to have them removed in 10 days but one was two weeks and the other 3 weeks. It really wasn't that bad other than the thigh lipo which I would never do again nor recommend. That was the most painful not the incision. I had a LBL with the thigh lipo and the LBL was easy compared to the lipo. I am getting ready to have a breast lift next year and possibly a thigh lift we shall see haven't made my mind up on that one yet.

    Mexico Surgery

    I used Dr Quiroz at Cosmed and was happy with the results and they way I was treated. I was taken care of by the doctor and the staff. I would use them again and I am planning on a breast lift next year with them.
  14. I have been banded for 2 years and it is a constant battle. I would do it again but it is very time consuming. Right now I am over filled and have gained some weight back. I am trying to get in dr Manuele right now for an unfill, I had mine out of state. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
  15. I used Dr Quiroz at Cos Med I believe he does all kinds of plastic surgery. You can go on his web site cos med and look at the many before and after pics/ I liked his office and I liked the way they worked there. I am going to have my breasts lifted next year by him, this year I had a LBL with lipo. I also am looking into an inner thigh lift. I would definately use him again.
