2 year post op

I wanted to do a 2 year Post op because I dont see many of those on here! I have to share of few ups and downs:
I gained the entire 20 lbs I lost back :(. Its all my fault though prior to getting the surgery I did not have a healthy eating/exercise lifestyle so I just went back to my normal way of doing things. My butt is still perfect although I have lost about 30% in volume.
I am obsessed with surgery now, unfortunately!
I got a tummy tuck and because of that alot of my belly fat was not sucked out, I acheived the flat stomach by fasting on liquids. But as soon as I went back to my normal eating, my stomach does look a little round. So I decided to go back and get a round 2 to suck my stomach fat out (most of it is viseral) so I began a small workout regime with Abs and Squats along with weight training.
IF you do not have a healthy eating habit, getting the surgery is only a small patch. It took me 2 years to gain that 20 lbs back, but it crept on without me noticing. In addition, my face is round.
My biggest hurdle is being content with what I have now. I have read of women going back and forth with Lipo and losing their life (yes I mean die) from getting too much liposuction. The doctors wont say no, they dont know whether what you are doing is safe for you until it is too late, so don't skimp on doing your research. My TT was worth it without a doubt. All that fat and saggy skin is gone and I feel so free, yes the stretch marks remained but I dont care, it is very comforting to look down and see my vagina! I have decided to do some research and try and find a doctor here in the US first before I default and go back to Dr. Estevez, just because I would be traveling alone and D.R. gets lonely.

9 mos update Dr, Estevez

Here is some updated pictures. I feel that I have completely healed. I gained most of the weight I lost (15 pounds back) which means it was water loss. I have began going to the gym to prepare for my round two. I have to remind myself that before I got the surgery I had major fat in every place and I did zero exercise. Dr. Estevez sculpted me as best he could with what he had. I had lots of fat to donate trust me. Also, my back feel different. I can feel the base of my back now since he lipo-ed it mess out of it. He also sculpted my stomach and although there is still visceral fat, I can see where my abs will be if I ever decide to dedicate my self to a healthy eating habit and routine. I would recommend this for ppl who feel that they have given up on themselves! I gained so much confidence and it motivated me to do better for my body. I feel lighter and I can see when my fat has been removed. I would have never been treated this aggressively if I had not gone to D.R. I am satisfied and can't wait to go back.

Dr. Rafael Estevez I could never ask for such a great doctor. He knew how to reasonably sculpt my body according to what I already had, i.e. the amount of fat and what my body could handle. He completely cares about his patients and consciously maintains a genuine relationship with his patients. He speaks excellent English and he makes every effort to make sure your at ease with your decisions and the end results. I would definitely go back!
