I am 5'3" 185 lbs. I have had 3 kids and up until three years ago I weighed 135 and had a nice body. I have always wanted a tummy tuck because of the stretch marks and I wanted a some lipo on my legs and some breast implants to even out my body. Now I am 55lbs over my ideal weight due to going through a divorce and depression setting in. I am sharing a picture of what my body looked like 3 years ago and what I look like now :(.....I am beginning the year with a new attitude. I want to do this for me and be confident enough to live my life taking care of me first. I guess the devastation I felt from the divorce was finding out that all the time I dedicated to him was something he never appreciated. I put my kids and him first. I think now it's put me first then my kids. If I don't take care of myself and my self esteem is not well then there is no way I can show them happiness. Another thing that happened from the depression was that I rejected any invites for dates. I was just not up for any of that. My friends also invited me out but I just wanted to be home laying down. This added to the weight gain. I'm READY for a new me!! P.S. I am not looking for plastic surgery to cure my depression. I already went through the depression and have started to work out again. I just need a boost on getting back to my body (maybe even better) and getting rid of those stretch marks that haven't allowed me to wear a two piece bathing suit.

Great review?

My Doctor: Jose Luis Sanjurjo Martinez

A friend of mine went to him for a TT and BBL and had great results. I also watched several of his youtube videos and the before and after pictures on his website look amazing. I have been talking to his Patient Coordinator and she has been great. Other doctors offices have been too busy or seem very impatient with my numerous questions.....Dr. Sanjurjo is not the Doctor I am going to. I am actually going to Dr. Jose Luis Salas Martinez in Tijuana. Reaself does not allow me to update this information. Can anyone tell me how to post my actual doctors name. I would like to give credit where credit is due. I don't know who Dr. Sanjurjo is.

Liposuction is a popular operation in plastic surgery which removes fat from certain places of the human body (typically abdomen, thighs, buttocks) by liquefying it and removing it through a hollow needle. In some cases, more extreme measures, such as abdominoplasty, may be needed.

Shashankvs, thanks for the info but I know what liposuction is.

I just had lipo 6 days ago. It was tough. Many times as I was sick saying why did I do this to my body. There was depression. But my meds werent working so we switched them all. Now today I could walk around and each day gets a bit better. But everything is sore and stiff. So its a big deal but I know there will be great results. Just have to hang in there

Congratulations and I hope you are doing well.

Do you think Lipo will give you the results you are looking for? What was the price you were quoted?
AZLatina 15 Jan 2013
I really don't think that Lipo will do it allthough the doc said I should have great results, I don't think that will put me back to where I was a few years ago. I was quoted 7300.00 for Lipo (back, waist, inner/outer thighs, front and back of legs) and TT. I asked the doc about Lipo on my arms but he said I didn't really need it although, I think I do.

Been there too! Hugs I discovered in a moment I was married to Dr Jeckle and Mr Hyde, and just met Mr Hyde! After 6 kids and almost 15 yrs of marriage. And Mr Hyde was intolerable and horrific and kicked out immediately. He's now in jail. A real Oprah story! My focus was on the kids, and by God's goodness they did beautifully. Even the counselors couldn't believe how well and quickly they healed. But since my focus was them, I took longer. Pizza became Mommy's Helper. Anywho.... Personal opinion? Both 2 and 3 yrs ago look fabulous! But please don't get that butt from your wish pic! It's TOO huge! Looks deformed. And certainly doesn't look good in clothes. My 16 yr has truly the perfect butt (have no idea where she got it!) and she has clothing trouble. Trying to find anything fitting both her tiny waist and her gorgeous booty is impossible. :).

I am glad to hear you the kids did well. I know that at times they seem to be even more resilient that we adults are. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts with me. I only have 3 kids and it has been hard enough for me. I cannot even begin to imagine 6 kids. I'm sure they did well because of you.

AZlatina, I hope all goes well with you and glad to hear that you have taken care of your depression. You are right, in order to give love and happiness you have to feel the love and be happy. Remember this is a long journey. I don't want to disappoint you, but you will see your final results in about six months. I wish I knew that when I had my lipo surgery three months ago. Hopefully you are mentally prepared for whats going to happen to you and I hope that you have realistic expectations. What areas are you having done?
AZLatina 11 Jan 2013
Daisy, In talking with the doctor today, I think I may end up going with the gastric sleeve and a tummy tuck. He thinks I will have better results by doing something more long term. I understand that liposuction will only give me minimal results. In all reality I really want to get back to being in the 130's. I have to get my weight under control. Yes, I am completely mentally prepared. When I was depressed, I didn't realize that's what was happening to me. I finally got a grip on it and have started working out again. Unfortunately gaining over 50lbs is something that I now have to reverse. I developed some very bad eating habits. As far as surgery goes I have decided on the gastric sleeve and tummy tuck. I think that will get me on the road to my ideal weight.

I went w/ the band instead of the sleeve but my cousin just got the sleeve & loves it. I don't regret it at all. But so many ppl r going to tell u that u don't need it & u can lose on your own & u can but its about keeping it off & that Sx will ensure that u can. U go girl!

I don't know why that Doctor is showing up. Jose Luis Sanjuaro Martinez. That's not the Dr. I am going to. My Doctor is Jose Luis Salas Martinez. I don't know how to edit this.
