My experience was with Toridol. I claimed to be allergic so I would receive something different and (hopefully) stronger. I ended up with Tramadol, which wasn't much better - it's the equivalent of...

Thanks Klecko. I'll get there. :)

Bonboun, what I'm doing is eating my face off! I'm binging like crazy - ignoring being mindful of food, my hunger scale, what I really want and then consuming it...

Yesterday was my sleeversary - three years. I lost 85 between August 2011 and August 2012 (starting weight 235). Beginning in September, binge eating disorder (BED) kicked in with a vengeance. I...

Thanks ladies. I'm almost at a year, so anything that's going to change and settle will have done it by now. I've wondered about Dr. Saucedo as well. I still want to get my arms done so maybe I'll...

Hi there. I had my surgery last December. I went to Dr. Niebles. I would NOT advise someone to go to him. I feel he does way too many types of plastics and obviously isn't highly skilled in extended...

GREAT QUESTION!! My goal weight was set by me, not a doctor. When I saw my family physician, he advised (at 152 lbs) that I was within 5 lbs of goal. Dr. Niebles also felt I was close to goal and the...

I had a mommy makeover with Dr. Niebles on December 8, 2012. I had an extended tummy tuck and a breast lift/augmentation. I had asked for a belt lipectomy based on my shape and fat distribution, to...

Just for sh*ts and giggles I guess I'll share that silicone implants are often called gummie bears. My bears are very pretty. I had a MM (breast lift, augmentation, and abdominoplasty) about 8 weeks...

I had surgery with Dr. Almanza in August 2011, and went with my daughter to him in September 2012. Both experiences were very positive. We had great care and no problems at all, including when we got...

I had a MMO with Dr. Niebles in TJ on December 8th. You can contact Christy at 1-804-290-3013. I paid $6500 for an extended tummy tuck and breast lift and augmentation.

I'm on a variety of medications for bipolar. I took my evening meds the night before, but then missed the next day both morning and night. The 3rd day I was back to taking normally. As for anti...

Hi Sandi. I'm on quite a few meds too and have no choice but to take them. So I missed the day of surgery, but had to start again the following day. It wasn't the most fun thing - I cried as they...

I've noticed a big improvement as the weight has come off. Unfortunately, it's just not enough to completely stop it, so I've asked my doc for a referral to get a bladder lift. A nice little nip and...

You know, the only thing that really concerned me about Dr. Saucedo is how much he was willing to do at one time. When every other doctor says they won't do _____ at the same time as __________ but...

Hi Katie. A belt lipectomy is like a 360 degree tummy tuck. To be blunt and simple: they cut all the way around, take a strip out of the middle, and stitch the top and bottom back together. Same...

Hi Stacey. Hi went through msvetrn (Christy) to book my surgery with Dr. Niebles. I'm having a breast aug/lift, belt lipectomy (360 tummy tuck) and butt lift in 8 days - December 8th. Christy had her...

Sex has been good for me at all stages of life. Now I can climb on top, though, and not watch hubby's face turn blue. *jk It really is more fun getting into positions. :)

I drink Unjury unflavoured and Strawberry Sorbet. I mix the unflavoured with all sorts of Crystal Light and Nestea SF Singles - they're only as sweet as how much of the juice you put them with....

HI Penney. I heard through the grapevine that Jerusalem won't be doing plastics in the New Year anymore. You'll have to check with Melissa (or your coordinator) about that though. They were 5500 for...

We head out December 7th for my surgery on the 8th. I'm having a belt lipectomy, breast augmentation/lift and butt lift. Any positive thoughts/healing vibes you can send my way are greatly...

I would say the most important thing is the measuring tape, and feeling how your clothes fit. Then a scale IF you aren't obsessive about it. I weigh about every 2 weeks (or when I remember) but am...

Oh, Dr. Alvarez has great topics that he discusses. Here's his one on hair loss. VSG Q&A's: Hair Loss - YouTube

I believe everyone loses to some degree. I have thin hair and had a bunch of it, but I lost a lot around 4 months. I've now got all these baby hairs that have grown back, so it's on the mend. Or so I...
