You look great!!! Thanks for posting the pictures.

Thanks for sharing that info Cowgirl Jane. Thank you all for your comments. Tfhere is a price list on his website. He does significantly discount for multiple proceedures. The price is different based on the procedure and time to be spent in the OR.

Today all of my sutures are out. I am 3 weeks out today. I still have one drain i am having trouble with, but i just need to be patient.

Found it.

I was checking out the website but I can't any type of price list... Where is it at?

You look great, I hope to be able to have a tummy tuck next summer.

I lost 140 pounds......overweight forever.

i thought i would never do plastics' date=' i have a great marriage to a man who has loved me no matter what. then i realized that as i got to a good weight that iknew in my head that i was a good weight, i wore a 10 and i could cover up what i needed to, but when i looked in the mirror it was the same body, only deflated.

So happy with the decision.

It has discomfort, but i will say i was pleasantly surprised it was not horrible painful, i am shocked. The girls that had lipo were in more pain than me, and they did not have as much incision work as i had. i would do it again in a heartbeat tomorrow. Post op i only used motrin and tylenol for pain control. the compression garment has given me the most pain. I am tight and that is uncomfortable and hard to sleep at times.

All in all a great experience. I will get some revision work down the road. As it is he did lots of work, and had me on the table for 13 hours. I had LOTS of skin. I know it was to my benefit that I was in great shape, i became a gym rat and it helped the recovery and ethe results.

I know i liked seeing the changes in people.[/quote']

That's amazing. What an experience. I have to lose 178#'s. I will definitely do the chin. The rest gonna try to hide with spanks. Have you had an experience with spanks? Great job and congrats.

oh sure, i have used spanx forever. but spanx only does so much. it is very different. spanx are wonderful, but i was wanting to make it permanent and make it all go away.

You look great!

You look great!! Did you have work done on your arms too or was that weight lifting an exercises because your arms look fabulas too!!

  • Author

Thank you!!!! I did have my arms done, but I will take credit for working really hard to get ready. Just now my muscle definition is now obvious. i am very proud. it is all a new thing to be a little athletic:)

Looking Fabulous. Question if having plastics in Mexico for those of us who work. Who will fill out fmla forms for us ? Concern about time off work.

  • Author

The surgeon there completes the forms. One woman that was there with me had hers completed for california.

I thought they usually did a tummy tuck across. I see yours is up and down. any reason for that? I have an up and down c section scar, so that may be better for me too. just don't know when I will be able to afford it after I hit my goal. Congrats!

my actual procedure was a lower body lift with anchor cut. I had lots of skin above my navel, so it gave me great results. so i was cut all of the way around and had a large area of tissue removed up the middle. He was able to give me great curves back and take so much away. Love my anchor cut:)
