Wow you look terrific! I am 2 years post op (sleeve) and I'm looking into PS now. I had my mind set up to have a breast lift and neck lift but friends have told me to go for the circular or round Tummy Tuck first. They say I will be even more amazed how great I look. What did you do first? I can have a tummy tuck and breast lift or a neck lift/breast lift. Wish I could have neck lift tummy tuck, then I would be thrilled..lol I am using Dr. Parra for my PS iin MX. Who did you go with. Also....are you back to normal activity?

Can't wait to see the new me. If I look half as good as you I will be thrilled!

Thank you:) I had all my surgeries at once. I had a Breast Augmentation, LBL with Butt Lift, Medial Thigh Lift and Belly Button and TT scar revision. I went to Mexico also and my Dr is Dr Victor Gutierrez. I went back to normal activities 8 weeks later. Good luck with your surgery. You will be very happy with your new you right after surgery.

If you don't mind how much did it cost? Were u able to charge it as out-of-network to your insurance? Thanks

How long did you stay down there? I only took 6 days off for vsg by in guessing I'll need a month for plastics.

I stayed there 7 days, but I took 8 weeks off from work. Some people only takes one month off, I have to say that for me it took that long to be back to normal.

You look so great!!! You are two months ahead of me...Dr Victor Gutierrez did my lower body lift and thigh lift on 5/13/2014 I was all set to go with a different surgeon in Mexico until I saw the incredible work that Doctor G. does. I was so afraid of having a scar that made me look as if I had been simply sawed in half and so many of the pictures I had seen of peoples LBL's looked like that, so when I saw the beautiful work that Dr G, does I made the change...And I could not be happier....smartest move I ever made!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
