Tired of not looking like I feel!!! I have been considering this surgery for over a year now and I'm at the point where its feasible! I want to be able to go shopping and not get depressed because I can't fit it or it doesnt look like it did on the hanger like it does once I put it on. I feel exited, nervous, concerned, anxious and giddy and I will continue to feel that way all the way up until surgery time. I am a 28 years old full time student, employee and mother. I have a 6yr old daughter... as most of all us women know, our body almost NEVER go back to the way it was before we was pregnant. I was a size 6 when I got pregnant now im struggling to stay in a size 16! I don't want to be a size 6 anymore but I would love to get rid of this boppy pillow that has formed around my waist, not to mention what breast feeding did boobs (saggy). I just want my full confidence back! Looking for support from the site since I can't rely on anyone besides my BFF to support me in this choice.

Ugh!! Being fat and saggy is no fun!! I tried to take a bath last night and the only body parts that got wet was from the belly button down and my nipples (from the sagging)!!! Maybe that was too much information.... so ill move on. I have been in contact with Dra Robles in the DR for surgery since July. For a tummy tuck and lipo of the back she quoted me 4,900 and that price included a 10 day stay at the recovery house, food, meds, garment, basically it included everything but my plane ticket! only problem is that she said she cant do tt, lipo of back and breast lift in one surgery so I was bummed out but still was going to go to her. But 2 days ago I found another doctor in the DR named Yily de los santos and when I saw her work i had to at least send her my pics and see how much she would charge me... She replied the next day quoting me at 5,500 and that included the breast lift!! She said she can do my mommy make over! But now im confused on who to go with so i emailed santos again to ask if she has a package or something and im waiting for her reply. so who should i go to? the one thats cheaper with the all inclusive package or the one that is 400 more expensive but will give me everything i want on the first visit? Pondering.....

Ok. So I heard back from Yily and she quoted me $5,500 but I would have to pay for my recovery house separately.. I dont know which one to go with Robles or Yily, one (robles) includes my complete stay, food and care and the other (yily) will do all three surgeries together but robles wont and is cheaper.... what should I do? I NEED HELP!!

hi there , start counting time really goes fast, for the recovery house i stayed by a home that my dr recommend she indepentant and she really really good, her nqame is arelis and her number is 18097323797 or 18092993797 she charged 120 dollars per day but its worth every penny, and sometime going thje cheaper way for suregry and recovery is not the best.....i know everyone wants to save money i did, but i heard other places and they are not to clean and the care is so so,recovery is also very important that someone can take care of you, like your part of there family you feel very welcome.gave her a call and see what you think, i cant say more about her.....again start counting down, it goes really fast, before you know it it there already......keep us updated ...

Thank you sooo much for the info!! Me and my bestie are going together so hopefully we can split the cost of the room

Hey Adrienne, keep me posted on which doctor you decide on. I am the same size and body type as you are, but I want a TT and BBL. I really like Dr. Jimerson's work, but he costs a fortune. I am exploring other options. Looking at Dr. S in Miami, but he is booked out until July 2013 and like you, I would like to have the surgery in March. Also looking at Dr. Campos in Mexico, but there is the fear factor.....I just don't know which way to go....lol

aaahhh man do I understand how you feel!!! Thats why im happy im not going to next year, this way I can think of crazy random questions to ask and can continue to look at and get several quotes. Trust me, I don't have the 15K I would need to get the surgery locally, plus this is my graduation gift to myself.
