I'm glad that your experience has been positive so far. I am a looong way from plastics, but I am already trying to figure out the best surgeon/location when I do get them done. Congratulations!

Oh keep us posted! I will be about 6 weeks behind you if I get approved! I am a school therapist so have to wait till summer break. Going for consult this morning. Will be following you closely and wishing great things for you!!!
Update: the worst is over what did that take about 4 days, feel great but am still swelled and will be for awhile. My Doctor makes house calls can you believe it? He was here on a Saturday to check on me. Drains will come out Monday and it's all up hill after that. Ok I can officially say I am glad I did this and next year will be back to finish my journey. The trip to Mexico to become a new me has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. I hope you all get to finish and enjoy what you have started. I will post pictures later. So glad I used my American company to help me make this all possible.
So glad to hear from you! I saw the surgeon this morning. Hope to get scheduled for full abdominoplasty for June 20, but not sure. They are scheduling clear into September! I hope I don't have to wait until next year! I work in a school, so Sept is out of the question! The only downside was I have to pay $2200 up front! ah!
Update. Everyday has got better. I finally am seeing a new me bloom. image.jpg
I took a picture of me with my feet together. Can't remember being able to see light between my legs and no more saddle bags. If you look at my before and after pics you will see my saddle bags. Hated them yay there gone sorry pic sideways don't know how to switch oh just figured out if you touch the picture you can see it better, omg so dumb

UPDATE: I lived! the pain of the first 2 weeks is getting better and better. I wont lie it hurt like hell! But I can already see that it is going to be so worth it. I wasn't prepared for the depression I felt when I got home from Mexico. The reason is I didn't have my great Doctor and my wonderful Mexico family to take of me. I was own my own. But somehow I am getting through it and feeling so good about what I have done. Makes a world of difference to get that extra skin and fat off. I didn't loss all this weight to still look gross. So next year it is inter thigh (wish I had done it with this surgery) and face. The arms and boobies and that's it. So two more trips to Mexico for surgery and then back to Mexico for Tequila! So far I have spent 16,000.00 on my body. That's the sleeve and plastics. By the time I'm done I will add another 15,000. That should be it. So that's a total of 31,000 for me. Dang I could of bought a car but it won't look as good as me
You look wonderful! I still have a little over 30# to go but so ready to get my neck lift. Going to pm you.
