Welp, I turned one year post op VSG this month. I am very proud of my success. Every day was hard, every day continues to be hard, but my gift to myself is a boob job. I will be getting my boobs done , lift and also skin correction to correct that hanging bra fat under the armpit area. I hate that noise. It just flaps around ? but it's a testament to all my hard work. I will be going to Medellin Colombia. My surgery is on June 10. I will arrive on June 7 and I'm looking forward to seeing the sites being on the lighter side I'll be able to walk up those Flights of steps at Guatape ?. Look at all those damn steps on the pic ?

*Colombian doctors are very, very skilled very talented. Looking forward to sharing my experience so other people can afford and have the courage to go abroad.

* I would have liked to support our plastic surgeons here in the U.S but it's ridiculously priced. I went to one to get a quote and the surgery itself was only 5000 but 15+ thousand was for hospital fees , etc. that is ridiculous. The United States really needs to work on their cost. Colombia offers high levels of care due to the vast amounts of medical tourism and have high quality standards.

@Mspretty86 my right side gave me ish too, My doc said because it had a thicker muscle, that they had to cut more into it. It took the longest to drop and get even with my left. its still not as soft as my left side. The hardest part mentally was not able to work out. It drove me bananas! It worried me that I would lose all that I worked hard for, but muscle memory is real and you will get right back to it when you get back to working out!

You go through stages, but Im sure you look amazing!

@AmberFL thanks for this it's very helpful! Girl I'm over her cussing saying ?to myself that I am not getting no other work done ?. I think I mean it to. He done a phenomenal job with the auxiliary fat removal and my breast, but I'm like over it! We shall see what goes on in the weeks to come.

@Mspretty86 I know it becomes daunting and discouraging but you will be happy that you took it slow and not working out. You paid a lot of money for this and this is an investment! Just take care of them and they will look so good for a long time!

Breast augmentation down time should be further talked about my goodness ???. There needs to be some support groups too my gosh. Lol

@Mspretty86 I agree, it was the hardest 7 weeks ever. Then ramping back has been hard. I totally feel you!

Time for an UPDATE these babies are beautiful! It's a beautiful peace of perky art, symmetrical and awesome. I lived all my life with breast that were asymmetrical very horrible. I hope that everyone who chooses to get elective surgeries takes that leap!
