Booked with Dra Cardenas today!



Recommended Posts

So I spoke with the kind lady at Beauty Enhance after the doctor reviewed my photos and made a recommendation. I decided to go with a royal lower body lift for the first procedure in my journey. I scheduled for this fall. I am beyond excited! Trying to think how I break this news to my boss....

I am not sure about speaking with her prior to surgery. I would assume at some point this would happen. Probably closer to actual surgery. I sent in my deposit today.

How exciting for you! I booked with her as well. I just moved my date up to August 30th! So excited and nervous. I'm starting with BL/BA. I don't heal the fastest so I want to see how I do with the healing and scarring before I move on to the Royal lower body lift. I'm so tempted to start with the RBL, she does such good work!

Yes they gave me a very thorough quote. I talked it over with a lady in their office.

They had a special on her site for 10,500 for the royal body lift package.
Starting was 266
Goal is 130
Right now 146

I'm still losing but have slowed a lot. I have so much extra skin though it is ridiculous.

I'm 90% sure I'm going with Dr. Cardenas too. Will have the plastics in different stages because I'm an older WLS patient (52 now) with lots of excess skin. One thing that is holding me back is that 23 months out, I'm finding it harder to keep the bad habits at bay and am toying with getting therapy for behavior modification and stabilizing a bit better (behaviorally, i.e., controlling nighttime binges) before going under the knife. Congratulations on moving forward with you plans and please keep the updates coming!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a royal body lift?

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
