After tons and tons of research... I had my TT and lipo (flank) on 11/21 ($4.500) It was the worse pain I've had but totally worth it! Flat stomach after a 90 lb wt loss (sleeve 05/20/13) My plastic surgeon is Dr. Covarrubias in Nogales MX (Hospital Clinica Del Sol) the staff is amazing ☺️☺️☺️ I had my post op appointment yesterday and the drains are OUT ☺️In about 3-4 months, I'm getting lipo (thighs, pubic, upper back) and fat transfer to my gluteal area. I am very happy and excited to start this new journey!

Were you at goal? I'm looking to get it done too. Waiting for ins company decision first.

Pictures of before and after?

No... I was about 5-7 lbs away but I had been at the same wt since Jun ????he removed 8.14 lbs of skin ... I am at goal wt now ☺️

I will post piks as soon as I am able to stand straight ☺️

I am looking forward to having a tummy tuck next year. What a relief it will be to not have to arrange my loose skin under my clothes. I've discussed it with a surgeon here in Northern California, but lately I've been considering going to Mexico. I keep reading on this site about people's positive experiences at Mexican surgical facilities.

You look awesome!!!

You look awesome!!!

Thanks! I'm still very swollen, cant wait for the final result ????

I talk big but I am worried about the recovery period. It seems that it is longer and more painful than the recovery from laparoscopic VSG. I am sorry you are hurting and hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! Yes, recovery is nothing like VSG surgery this is much more painful but completely worth it ☺️ I am only one week out and I would do it again..

I had 3 major abdominal surgery different from vsg. Yes I remember not standing up with those. Long recovery-Saving up sick leave n vacation time. I most likely will go to Mexico for ps since i would not be able to afford it here. I want arms, thighs and full tummy tuck. Where do I start? Any advice?

I did tons of research and I made sure I wasn't too far from home and super close to the border... 8 other friends went with my same surgeon so I felt pretty good ☺️ what state are you in?

Washington state. I haven't traveled in decades, so this would be going outside my comfort zone. Never been to mx.

This is so wonderful! I know u feel amazing. I will be having a TT after my 80 lbs loss. My tummy hangover of skin will not go away. My plastic surgeon told me that it would have to be surgically removed. I'm also having back Lipo and fatt transfer to butt. I might as well start the year off feeling brand New. Im nervous but I know it will he well worth it.
