- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

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.
I lost all the weight.
I went ahead and went with the Gastric Sleeve done by Dr. Almanza in Tijuana, Mexico. It has now been a year and I am now down to 105lbs. I didn't want to lose that much weight but I am glad I am no longer 185lbs. I am feeling GREAT! I'm having trouble uploading pictures but I will figure it out. I can't wait to share the pictures of what I look like now. I am scheduled for breast augmentation with Dr. Jose Luis Salas Martinez on March 15th, 2014. I keep you all posted.
3/10/14 at my lowest weight ever.
Well here is a picture of me now. I'm posting a picture of what my boobies look like before I get my BA. The total amount of lbs I lost since my Gastric Sleeve surgery was 78lbs. I am so happy. I get to eat whatever I want but in small portions. If I want a cookie, I will eat a cookie but I end up eating only half of it and that's enough.
Although, I wanted to get a tummy tuck, I am not able to get it because of my work schedule. Tummy tucks require more recovery time. I'm am working on saving up vacation time. Hopefully next year I have enough time to be able to take off of work.

Provider Review
Do NOT go to this doctor. I just had my BA done by him and had a terrible experience, did not get the results I was wanting and he is very condescending and arrogant. Please find a doctor that will listen to what you want.
