My plane leaves for san diego in a couple hours. I am having a TT, Lipo to abdomen and back, BL/BR, and possibly fat grafting to the buttocks (thinking of backing out of the fat grafting for now) just now sure how Im going to sit or lay on my behind to recover from TT and BL/BR with having my rear end injected with fat!

Anyway I am using Dr Fuentes in Tijuana, Mexico, and his office will pick me up at the san diego airport and we will go to his office to get my markups done today. My surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30. I will stay the night in his postsurgical recovery, and be released Friday if all goes well. I will try to have my brother that is traveling with me post updates after the surgery. We are then staying in Rosarito Beach in a condo for 8 more days, I did not want to travel to soon after surgery so just decided to stay and rest/recuperate in the beachside condo for as long as I could be away from home!

Please wish me luck, and keep me in your prayers for an uneventful surgery, great outcome, and safety for me and my traveling companions!

BTW- I am soooo excited and utterly a nervous wreck at the same time! i haven't been out of the country in over 5 years! And surely not for a medical procedure! But I GOT THIS! LOL

Hi everyone! I'm doing well was super impressed with dr F. & his staff & facility. I'm really sore but meds take the edge off. Been sleeping a lot. Keep praying for me plz. Will post more later

Rosario beach is beautiful!

Wishing you a speedy recovery

i just took a look at your photos k-rose, look awesome !!!

some one ask me to ask to my doctor for a tummy tuck with out paying air fare, just don't remember who did it, well i ask him: hey doctor i just found this site and there are manny people giving all to get their goals so there are some girls that want to have a tt but you need to give them a nice price?

Well I'm doing ok, it's not as bad as I anticipated but its def not easy. As long as I stay on top of meds it's bearable. Tried to take shower last night & that didn't work out so well, almost passed out. Had to sit on tub side & let my aunt give me quick wipe down. The whole room went black on me. I have never in my life had that happen! Was extremely scary! I'll post updates as I feel like it!

How many days do you stay in Mexico for this type of surgery?

Praying for good results ! Anxious to hear about your results!

janarae i staid for 7 days, but those days pass really fast

Thank you, I leave tomorrow for my band sleeve revision but I'm all ready planning for the work I'll need when I've lost my weight.

It's good to hear your both healing well!

Well another day has passed I have pretty good moments then a painful few but nothing I can't handle. I go for my postop to remove pain pump today & I assume he'll change bandages so ill get to see incision. The swelling is HORRID! I feel like a cow! But I'm def keeping eye on the prize! I can just imagine my flat tummy! Can't wait!

Btw for those who asked--- I had surgery on 1/24/13 Thursday, & I'm staying until 2/2/13 sat, so 9 days. I didn't want to fly in complete misery & pain so I allowed I hope ample time!

sending healing wishes your way. Looking forward to hearing & seeing the after pics. I'm relatively early on in the process (only 8 weeks out from surgery) but when all the weight is gone and I've given my body time to do whatever it will do - I'm thinking of plastics. Take it easy, feel better.

Made it home last night around 10 pm my time, flight was relatively easy, took my meds and a xanax and slept during the longer portion of the trip. I had 2 companions with me and they toted all my stuff, I reserved a wheelchair at airports, and my brother pushed me around so that was easy as well. I would not want to do this alone, but it is possible if you must. I enjoyed the company, and I LOVED mexico. We stayed in Rosarito Beach in a beachfront condo and I could lay in bed and watch the beach and surf crashing, plus watch the dolphins playing. It was really nice. Pain in under control now, only mild painkillers the last few days as needed. Ill post more later.

how are you doing? all good?

Yes how are you lovely lady?

Im doing well! Still sore in places, but overall doing very well. Every day gets a little bit better. I love love love my results, still dealing with swell h3ll, esp in the evenings. But overall I have been really happy with outcome and was really impressed with dr fuentes skill and facility!
