    Default 100 LBS down=Mommy Makeover!!

    I am so excited. The sleeve is the greatest gift I've ever given myself. The only regret is not doing it sooner. My mom is scheduled for her surgery next month and I am thrilled for her. I am looking into the mommy makeover with Dr. Bello or Dr. Almanza's new plastic surgeon. Has anyone seen the new plastic surgeon that took over for Dr. Lara? Anywho I am ready. I saw a plastic surgeon in the states and I could never afford everything I'm wanting with him. I want a lift and implants and abdominoplasty!! When I heal i'll head back for my arms. I hope everyone else is doing awesome and if your just getting started, hang in there!! It is all worth it.

    Hey Ginger! Nice to see you and congrats! Amy went to Mexicali today for her surgery with Dr Bello! I think Loni had hers recently too. Goodluck with your decision.

    Amy is resting. Had a text saying she's ok.
    Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
    CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    Hi all, I did go on July 22 to see Dr Bello in Mexicali. I can not say enough about him. He is a wonderfully kind, gentle man. Very professional and caring, who takes his time. I was out of my room 9 hours and he was with me every step of the way. I spent 7 days in the hospital and he came in everyday, changed my dressings and drained the drains. When I came home he called me twice a week to check on me. I had one small complication, I developed a seroma (A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery. When small blood vessels are ruptured, blood plasma can seep out; inflammation caused by dying injured cells also contributes to the fluid) It drained for several days and Dr Bello decided to have me come down and see him. We went on monday, he picked us up took us to his office, drained it, sutured it and drove us back to our hotel in Calexico.
    Now someone tell me what US surgeon would do that???? I am very pleased

    Dr Almanza PS was very nice one of the girls that was there when I was getting sleeved, she had been sleeved 15 months prior and was there for her mommy makeover. I made fiends with her and have been in contact with her since she is extremely happy with her results and doing great! She would totally recommend the PS !!
