I will be departing Oklahoma on Tuesday June 12, 2012 by plane and arriving in San Diego, Ca picked up by driver Luis and driven into Mexicali, Mexico. I will be taken to the Family Hospital, where I will have a consultation, and blood work conducted. I will stay at the hospital that night and have my procedures performed Wednesday June 13, 2012 at 10a.m. I am 5'7, 175lbs, age 25. I have two children a 5 year old son and a 1 year old son. I breast fed both of my children, therefore I will be getting a Tummy Tuck, Lipo to my lower flanks, Breast lift+breast implants. I am really excited, I have 8 days to go before travel. I will also update evereyone after surgery and also upload pictures before and after ladies.

Hey Bizzybody, wow 10 days. That trip and the makeover is going to be an awesome journey. I can't wait to read about how it's all going for you. I had my work done by Dr. Smaili in Upland, Ca. So far I am super happy with the results. Still haven't seen my BB...that is a gift I get on Friday! Yea! Can't wait to see your pics and hear about your journey. Best wishes to you and your adventure! :)

I am currently 6 days Post Op today. Everything...
bizzybody87June 19, 2012
I am currently 6 days Post Op today. Everything appears to be the same since Post Op day 1. Time really does fly as I will be one week post op as of tomorrow. I can not wait to be 4 week post op and so forth. I am no longer on any pain medicine, and I have not had much of an appetite at all. I finally took a shower yesterday at 5 days Post Op and that felt so good. I also have washed my CG twice in 4 days. I had my first BM at 5 days Post Op too, and it was not uneasy at all but regular no struggle.
My drains are still in collecting a lot of fluid still. I was hoping to get them of at 1 week Post Op but as much as I am draining I know that will not be happening. I saw my PS yesterday as I had some concerns about my body and I am scheduled to see him again Thursday hopefully my drains will be able to be removed then because I am traveling back home Friday to the United States.
I am still numb on my belly area and getting the feeling back in my lipoed area's. I am in no pain whatsoever and still not walking up straight but not that bad of a hunch either. I actually walk faster and straighter w/o my CG, it is more difficult to walk with my CG. My breast has not been a bother to me since my areola lift or the implant. I had my implants placed above the muscle so I dont know if that makes a huge difference but they are comfortable and painless. Only issue with my breast is that I think they are too big and I hate that so far.
Other then that I can not wait to get home so I can lay in my own bed that I can not wait for at all.

What is the doctor's name you used? I noticed a significant price difference in your procedures. I see that you were concerned with your results,but I just wanted to say that you look really good. I hope everything turns out how you expected.
June 19, 2012
Tiffany-I am no longer concerned with my results now,lol. I really had no idea that after liposuction people swell up in those areas suctioned,lmfao..... I was ready to curse the surgeon out at 3 to 4 days post op. Now, that i have had one of my follow ups with him an he seen my body he ensured me that it was normal, I also did not just take his word on it. I researched through Youtube videos and other realself women blogs and they too experience what I am going through. I have to remember I had major surgery and was cut in half. Also,I am only 6 days Post Op. i have not even given my body time to heal.

Tiffany- his name is Gustavo Gaspar Blanco located in Mexicali, Mexico. He performs his surgeries at De La Familia Hospital. Yes, I paid $6900.00 for a Tummy Tuck, Lipo to flanks (lower back) , Breast Lift and Silicone Implant. This included 3 night in the hospital, and a Compression Garment.

What a steal! My cousin also had a TT with him. I also feel like my swelling from lipo and TT is barely starting to go down and I'm 11 days post-op
June 20, 2012
Did yout cousin like her results, was her recovery healthy? I don't understand all the swelling from the lipo and the swell hell part of our journey. This is confusing and tiring and I can not wait for this part to be over. I am only 6 days Post Op and tomorrow barley marks my 1 week mark.
You really like my breast? I look like i have two Oranges or Grape Fruits hanging infront of me....I feel like they are too lifted. I was a saggy B34 prior, nipples pointing down with no volume and it is just a lot to take in. My breast truly has been a transformation and think too big of one. I hope some of this is swelling too,lol. But thank you anyways BTW how big are yours?

I am happy to hear that you feel better about the whole experience. I too panicked after I had my stomach stapled. The day after I thought I had made a huge mistake and started to get depressed. But,like yourself, after talking with my doctor and really taking in what he said,I felt better. Just keep in mind like you said, you've just put your body through a big change and moved around muscles and all that other stuff so it takes time for all that to get back to where it was. Thank you for letting us follow your experience and posting regularly. I am sure it keeps you busy since you are somewhat immobile right now. I hope for nothing but the best for you.
June 20, 2012
No, probably. I hope that my blogs can be of hope to others, As other blogs have been of a great help to me. Little questions that I have had have been answered by reading other women post, etc.
I am trying to be Positive and Patient ( the two P's) lol. I can not turn back now, I have no choice but to wait. I am now 1 week post op today, at night time when I am asleep for the last 2 nights I feel like my breast and belly are really swollen, when I awake in the morning they are no longer. Weird, I know right, my breast really have been painless and still are with the exception of what I have just mentioned.
Thank you for following me and I can not wait to follow your Journey.

Btw your breast look good to me! You should see my big ones haha
June 20, 2012
Lol, you think so? I think my Breast look like huge Oranges or Grape Fruits....I am so unhappy with them not because they do not look good, i did not expect to wake up with these. I was a very flat, no volume, nipples pointing downwards type of B34 prior to this, so to wake up with so much breast, so purky just kinda made me sad....
You said your cousin had a TT with my PS too, did she like her results, has her recovery been good, and how is her stomach flat and everything.
Idk whats up with all the lipoo swell hell and us women having the emotional depression Post Op, really tiring and confusing. Well, we shall pray that we have healthy, happy , recovery, oh and that this swelling decreasing and we can actual visualize our coke bottles.

I think we are our own worst critic. I pick my body apart at 8 days and now on day 11 I was loving the new look. Give it time girl! Our bodies change so much everyday. And think about how new this NEW body is to use, it's going to take time to get used to the new breast and the tummy. Once you get used to them it will be easier to look and actually admire the work. Your breast are round and perky they look high and they will drop. And then they will look more natural.
My cousin and I aren't that close but she did say she loved her results. And as far as I know she had a speedy recovery. But remember everyone heals differently. Some may bounce back faster than others. So just sit bak relax and enjoy the ride.

June 20, 2012
Lol, not enjoy the ride. That was cute, it made me laugh and we all know how hard it is to laugh after a TT. I am trying to relax but you know it is hard to especially seeing others results and like you mentioned everyone heals differently, so I am in a huge rush and I should not be. I am really trying to be patient w/o going crazy,lol. I mean i dont have a choice, right,lol.
So you say you now love your new body? I cant wait to get to two weeks post op, hopefully I too will see more results or something that will soothe my brain,lol. Today just marks my 1 week post op mark. Are you able to walk straight , I am not at this moment. I actually walk straighter and faster w/o the garment. I pray that you coontinue to have a speedy recovering and God bless you.

I love my body more and more each day. I really hated what I saw at my 8 day post-op visit. Now the fluid is leaving and I am. It swelling as bad I feel so much better. And I know once you go home to your family your going to feel awesome. I am just not almost able to walk straight. I can go out in public and not have people stare at me haha like they used too when I went out 7 days post op.
I also hate my garment but I feel so naked without it. I have to wear my garment these foam pads on my lipo spots and then a binder on top of that so I feel you on moving faster without anything on.

Girl, I am sooo glad you & newme are blogging buddies now! It seems like you're in the same place in your healing journey. I'm sorry I haven't responded recently. I've been bizzy haha. Oops! But I've been thinking bout cha. I'm really getting attached to you girls, and I feel bad if I don't stay in touch! So I hope today is a good day!
June 20, 2012
@ ShowMe- No problem, I am in current In Mexico still. LOl, therefore I am experiencing some Cabin Fever. Blogging on realself and corresponding with them women helps my time past. I most admit I feel like the CHICK from the Wizard of OZ "i want to go home". I fly back home this friday, 10 days in Mexico has been 10 days to long for me. Not that anything bad has happen. I just want to be in The U.S and more so in Oklahoma with my children. I am 1 week post op today, I have another follow up visit with my PS tomorrow. I know the last visit I was 5 days Post Op and he stated I had a lil fluid in my abdominal area and he suctioned a little out. Wonder if that will be all better as my flight does leave Friday.
June 21, 2012

I am currently 8 days Post Op. I had my second Follow Up visit with my PS today. He stated everything is looking good and healing as expected. I am so happy he took the tape off my tummy and my breast. I am excited to say that my scar on my belly is nice, I can not wait until 4 weeks Post Op. My incision and stitches around my areola look good too. I was given a small kit to care for my incisions such as gaze, sprays, and ect. Unfortunately, I was unable to have my drains removed. I suspected this though, he gave me iinstruction on how to remove them my self and advised me to remove them Sunday at home. He and I discussed the importance of all my fluids draining and the risk if I he were to remove them too early. So nevertheless I am fine with flying back home with ,y drains attached to my hip,lol.
I got out a little an enjoyed a great lunch at a Chinese Buffet, and even do a little shopping in the local strip mall. I am back at the hotel now to relax before my flight back home. Yippy!!!!!

Glad you appointment went well! And it seems like you are happier with your results! Make sure to let the airport security know about your drains or else you might beep when you go through bc of the safety pins. Good luck lady and happy healing
June 22, 2012
Thank you, same to you. My scar is not bad at all on my Tummy I will take a pic of that tonight and Post it. I will tell the Airport about my drains and inform them I need a Wheelchair. I am up and walking but seriously doubt I can do excessive walking through a major city airport,lol. Happy healing to you also.
June 23, 2012
Too bad about the drains :( but good news on the belly scar :) I'm sure you're ready to go & probably sleeping in your ruby slippers!
Good luck and please let us know how it goes for you.
