How much is the procedure and are you only getting the tt? I plan in getting plastics done once I reach goal and thought about going there to make it a vacation prior to surgery.

Where in Dr is she in? I might go see Dr. Jesus Abreu or Dr. Donald Roland who promotes a lot in DR but does his surgeries in NYC.. and One of my moms friends got consulted by a doctor here who gave her an appointment to get her stuff done in DR.

Can you go into details on what your getting done? I still don't speak -plastics lol

Sorry typo. My surgery was in Feb and my starting weight was 275, down 30. Do you know anyone who has had surgery with that doctor? Also thinking of using Dr. Sauceda in MX.

As soon as my moms friend gets back from DR i'll have her give me all the info. I'll add it here.

I told my mom whose currently out there if she can go check out Dra de lo santos however my mother prefers from me to have surgery here.

They will charge me 4x what your paying if i get plastics in NYC

Hey hun. My moms friend didn't get the surgery. Her surgeon was trying to charge her another $2000 because she had put on some weight. (she said is a scam they do sometimes) So she's going to have surgery with another Doc.

She said 2 of her friends recommended them. Good Luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
