As I read comments to reviews, I'm seeing things like "have your doctor prescribe (insert strong diuretic or antibiotic)." Ladies (and gents), one reason we have resistant bacteria like MRSA is because of casual/irresponsible use of antibiotics. And the antibiotics that kill resistant bacteria like MRSA are known to be toxic to your kidneys or hearing, etc. which is why monitoring of your labs is needed ... which is why your doctor should not be sending you on your way with it. As for the diuretics ... yes, they help with fluid ... but they also lower your blood pressure. Besides making you feel awful, low blood pressures can mean compromise in circulation to your organs nevermind that incision you're concerned about. Believe me, if your body has to choose between sending blood to your skin or your kidneys ... guess what? Another thing ... I saw someone specifically recommend Lasix. Lasix is strong and the type of diuretic it is can cause an imbalance of your potassium. Low potassium leads to heart rhythm problems for starters! I chose to write this on my own review because I'm not here to lecture anyone but PLEASE consult your doctor or nurse before taking things. Even over the counter ...

To workout or not ...
So I'm looking over so many before and after pics and I'm noticing that women larger than myself are coming out on the flat side with better bodies than what I have currently after working out 3-4 days a week lol! I'm resorting to surgery because the areas I want fixed (tummy, breasts, and triceps) aren't phased by exercise and diet. Just makes me not want to workout (nearly as much or as hard). I can't wait until it's my turn!!

Remember if you workout it strengthens ur body even if you can not see it. Strong bodies heal better and quicker , just saying;•}

Yes, you are right but I really worry it will affect my result. I emailed Robles (which means I was really corresponding with someone else who has never performed a surgery) asking if losing weight would affect how much skin they had to pull. Think about it, your skin does retract a bit (if you don't have damage from things like stretch marks). I was told I could lose the 10 pounds I wanted to.
I am hoping that the lipo from the tummy tuck will give me more of an hour glass shape but if I lose weight, my butt and thighs will be smaller. Decisions, decisions.

Yea ur right, I'm how about getting you some ankle weights and a step ? I do this for thirty min every day and it totally lifted my butt in like three weeks. If you do cardio you will loose weight. But if you have weights strapped to you plus stepping , you will be building and toning muscle. I understand ur delima tho, keep me posted;•}

I have increased my cardio so we'll see how that helps. I love weights more than cardio lol! I currently squat 215 lb on the Smith machine so I feel like, without going to more extreme measures as far as diet and exercising all day, I won't get the body I'm looking for :-/ I'll add my before pics soon. I know it would be easier to see where I'm coming from if I had those.

Yea ur right. Dang 215 that's nice right there. Pretty strong chick!! I'm looking forward to seeing ur pix my dear;•}

I had lipo on my triceps and can't tell the difference really. The biggest change for my was my back and tummy with aggressive lipo. It gives my booty the illusion of looking bigger. My butt didn't accept much of the fat grafted. I'm thinking about 90% of the fat died off and my surgeon is one of the best in the world for BBL

I wonder if my doctor would be aggressive in my triceps. I mean they aren't huge but I have a little chunkiness above my elbow and it's been there even when I got down to a size 2. I figure I could try because when I inquired about it as a single service in my area, the doctors quoted $1500-$2000. No thank you.

Still Researching/Lurking
I'm still reading reviews. I've been on this site every day lately! The downside to that is that there are not enough updates from the DR girls so I've started reading reviews from mainly US ladies. The results I'm seeing make me second guess getting a TT but then I have to remember this is mainly the reason I have chosen to have my procedure outside of the US. Wish I could fast forward to being in my new job for 6 months. That way my makeover would be that much closer!
