I plan on getting my hips/inner thighs done eventually and will go to Dr. Niebles in TJ. I can PM you his coordinator's email if you'd like! She's a RN as well, and had her arms, tummy tuck, breast...

I know that there was a flagged post about this - but it IS true. The owner of Jerusalem Clinic did die from complications from influenza on Sunday. His services are today in TJ, Mexico.

This thread IS from last year, but I still stand by everything I wrote. I'm beyond thankful to hear that Dr. Yanez is no longer practicing at Jerusalem, because I think that Dr. Almanza is AMAZING,...

I saw the Dr. Yanez at Jerusalem Clinic. Not only was he rude to me prior to the procedure, he didn't even start until MIDNIGHT!!! I was very angry about that - I didn't want a tired surgeon working...

My mistake - it sounded clearer in my head than what my hands typed! I'm NOT seeing him again - I've been followed by a surgeon here in St. Louis, and he'll be doing the revision. I wouldn't send...

Well, here I am, 4 months post-Mommy Makeover with Dr. Yanez. Due to MANY complications, I've been seeing a surgeon here in St. Louis and I'm scheduled for surgery on April 18th for a tummy tuck...

I had a HORRIBLE experience with Dr. Yanez and Jerusalem Clinic. I outlined the entire thing in a thread under Cosmetic Surgery. As a nurse, I have high expectations for medical care, and was VERY...

Eleanor - unfortunately, no. My entire weight loss journey was accompanied by 2x week sessions with a personal trainer, and lots of exercise. I even ran a 1/2 marathon in November! It just got...

Yesterday, I was doing laundry and going through my closets and came across my goal outfit. I had set it aside last year before my VSG...and forgot about it. I tried it on, and lo and behold, it was...

Well...I've had a few setbacks, and developed a seroma under my TT incision. I now have another drain, and will most likely have it a while. I keep trying to look at my photos and see how far I've...

Getting it done now has done wonders for my self esteem. My boyfriend said he could tell the minute he saw me that I was more confident an comfortable with myself. Now I just stare and stare at...

In Mexico, they use Ketorolac (Toradol). It's an IV NSAID pain medication - non-narcotic. It works great, and also helps with the swelling. They send you home with 10 doses of it as well...but by...

I'll be honest - right now, I'd wear a boyshort bikini. THAT is how beautiful and flat my stomach is! :) And I'm only 11 days out of my tummy tuck and still have a good deal of swelling. I can't...

I have a GREAT scale that shows how many pounds I've lost from the last time I stepped on it, rather than my total weight. I love it! You can get it here:
Zero Scale Website

I find that I am...

My goal is 160, and I was carrying around a LOT of extra skin. I was frustrated with how I looked, and even though I continued to lose weight, my body shape and appearance didn't change. I carry...

A stall to me is not losing anything, or losing and gaining the same few lbs, for over a month. My first stall was 5 weeks, and I seem to go through periods of lots of stalls, and lots of loss. ...

It's been a long 13 months, and although it's been full of twists, turns, bumps, big and small victories, I'm still pleased with where I am. I had a great VSG experience, an awful cosmetic surgery...

Last year, I had my VSG at Jerusalem Hospital in TJ, MX with Dr. Almanza. Because I had such a great experience, I opted to return for my MMO last week.

I guess I should've known there would be...

I'm having mine done by him tomorrow! :)

After 15 years of being above 200, my scale this morning said 199.2! :)
My goal before my MMO tomorrow was 195, and today I'm on clears, so I'm sure I'll be down a bit in the morning as well. It's...

Vitamin C and zinc!! Lots of rest and water!

I went to Mexico alone last year (Dr. Almanza), and will be heading down alone again on 12/17 for my Mommy Makeover. I looked up my surgery date on here and started messaging the people who would be...

I was a lapband patient, and I experienced a slip in 2010. It was the most horrific experience of my life!! My quality of life with the lapband was awful - I was constantly vomiting, constantly...

I had an AMAZING experience in TJ last November with Dr. Almanza, and I am headed back in three weeks to have my Mommy Makeover. It was, hands down, the best choice I've ever made for myself.

I...

When my boyfriend and I shop at Costco, he says it's like an all you can eat buffet for me! :)

In the rare times that we go out to eat - I just usually split an appetizer with him, and my part of...
