Once I achieve, and maintain, my target weight for my height (5'9) I will take care of the nips, tucks, and lifts.

I'd like to be around 155 lbs. Maybe a little more. I'm okay with curves, just not rolls! Lol

Hopefully my WLS will go well in Mexico and then i can feel comfortable getting my nips, tucks, and lifts there too.

Amanda Rae

Ahhhh... can't wait until we can be nipped, tucked and lifted! And I'll be going to either Mexico or India when it's time for that!

I found this site. It seems to encompass *most* of the world. I think it will be a good starting point.

Since I have done lots of research, be aware when websites claim things. They have American Surgical Logo but let me assure you that American Surgeons association is not going to recommend out of country doctors. Also doctors pay for advertisement so there may be only drs they represent. Also I can guarantee that every country has a lot more doctors that are great and are not having their own website and I have personally met a few. Just info for you

Do you know of any well reviewed surgeons who offer a total body package? Thighs. Tummy. Lower body lift. Arms.

All well doctors do complete body makeover, some are better then others, some will do more in one setting then others. My doctor would only do Lipo all over and tt in one setting then other surgeries in another setting. My local doctor would not even lipo more then one area where is Dr Cardenas did the whole bosy and removed 10 litres at once!!!

Excellent. It will be a long road. I gotta take the weight off and save the cash. I plan to start a "Nips, Tucks, and Lifts" savings once I'm postop from my sleeve.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
