Im 30 years old 5'3 weigh I have 3 kids a 10 year old, 6 year old and 1 year old. I had always been 120lbs but with my pregnancy I went up to 170lb after delivering my last baby. I reently started to work out and lost some weight now I weigh 135lbs but no matter how much I work out and diet (well not really diet but try)I can't loose my pooche. I have loose skin I can't get rid of and breast feeding took a toll on my boobies. I used to be a 34DD but now they're so saggy I don't even know what size I am. I want to be able to wear a bikini again I haven't wore one since I was 19!! So Im getting a Tummy Tuck, Lipo of flanks and behind and inside my legs, and a Breast lift with implants. Im excited but scared at the same time. I have to fly back to California in 3 weeks YIKES!!!

Yesterday was day 8post op. I took a shower early even shaved my legs on my own i just had to sit on a chair. Then I went to my Dr. Appr and had my drain removed....it feeks awesome to not have it anymore!!! My kids have been so helpful and my poor 1yr old i think knows i cant hold her but i give her lots of kisses and let her lay on my lap while she drinks her bottle. I also went to san juan de dios yo shop for a few hours, walked a lot went up and down stairs a little slower yhan my normal pace but was fine. Oh i have some bruising where they did the lipo(flanks) and the dr told me to use arnica pomade and massage the area. I continue drinking arnica tea as well i have it cold in a big water bottle its kinda nasty but ill i do whatever it takes to heal faster

I haven't updated in a while but I feel great!!! Don't regret it one bit the only thing is since I couldn't work out after surgery I got into a rut and when I was able to I didn't go to the gym or watch what I ate so I noticed I gained some weight in other areas... I gained about 3 lbs -5lbs but I'm back in the gym trying to work On my six pack ;)

By 1 day pre-op I assume you mean 1 day post op? :) I'm glad you're starting to heal. Thanks for keeping us updated. Remember to take it slow and easy and not get too frustrated by the swelling in the first month.

how did it go eager to here back from you!So pain pum how much extra did this cost you. You have family over there what is your thoughts on your doctor!
mrs.H 3 Aug 2011
I didnt get a pain pump... Im not sure what a difference it would have made because the pain is tolerable. I have family here so im staying with them which has made it easier. I love my doctor he explains everything thoroughly im going to see him today just to check my eounds and ill see him again fri to see if the drain can be removed.
waiting to exhale 3 Aug 2011
Oh ok no pain pump so what can you compare your pain to now .... May i ALSO ASK ABOUT the lift can you tell a huge difference most ladies recievie just the implants. So man y things to ask... Working here at a hospital you only hear stupid neg things about the procedures out of the country... My kids fathers family is from Jalisco.. I have never been there we seperated a while ago my eldest has been once she loved it and that is so awesome how your family is helping you out over there.... How is your scar looking what is your biggest issues righrt now ahaha sorry I can go on.

How was your doc apt ? Everything looking good ? Cang imagine no pain pump wish we could compare that some how ,,, happy healing keep us posted
keysha9220 4 Aug 2011
What is the address of your doctor in Guadalajara Mexico? I'm thinking about going
mrs.H 4 Aug 2011
I had to get a lify cause.my girls were too saggy lol. I got silicone implants with 4100cc. He also did some lipo and transferred to the butt. The first night i couldnt sleep on my side but not i can turn around easier to switch sides...i dont know how to compare the pain my contractions when giving birth were hell so its nothing like that. I just feel really tight, sore from the lipo, slight burning pain..oh and the first day in the binder omg!! I hated it but now it feels better eventhough that thing is sooooo tight.my doc appt yesterday went well my drain was clogged so he unclogged it and told me if it clogged again to go in today if not just go friday for regular check up. He was impressed at how straight i was walking but he did say eventhough i felt good i still had to take it easy.
waiting to exhale 4 Aug 2011
Mrs.H Wow this is exactly what I wanted to have done.Lippo and the transfering of fat to the butt I am really worried though becasue how are you going to lay well how do you lay down. Oh my I do hear the binder sucks so much. I am glad the appt went well good for you. Clogged drain oh no. Yea I agree with him even though you feel good take it easy. what are you eating right now and are you takeing oxygen tablets I heard they help you heal faster. so excited to hear from all you lovely ladies!
mrs.H 4 Aug 2011
I m eating very healthy lots of fruit drink arnica tea and arnica water. I have wheat quesadillas,sandwiches, low salt broths. I ve nevet heard of oxygen tabs
waiting to exhale 4 Aug 2011
I heard that Arnica is great . Sorry I have all the questions. How long did your procedure take all together. So I am waiting for my passport then I will go to the Dr.in TJ. He told my cousin to have oxygen treatment to help heal faster and I had read on another gurls blog that she had pills um I dnt see how tht works but lol im not a PS. How is your pain rt now. Have you got to see the gurls or tummy yet... So exctied for you!
mrs.H 4 Aug 2011
Right now i only have like this burning pain where my drains are coming out but i have the crotchless garment/binder what ever u call it and i think thats what irritating it cause it didnt hury before. The rest of the pain is just soreness from only sleeping on my sides and my neck us kinda of tired/stiff from not sleeping well i usually sleep face down so i miss that
waiting to exhale 4 Aug 2011
Oh my I usually sleep on my side with a pillow in between my legs so they wont touch so I dont think I will have a problem with that! I totally see y you are though.... Hmm I am wondering if I should stay for @ least a week in Tj or at least til the tubes are out! Crotch less is good though.so you wont have to keep pulling up and down garmet. So tomorrow your follow up again. Did you end up getting lipo on the legs done.
waiting to exhale 8 Aug 2011
your gurls look very nice and perfect for your body how are you feeling today. were you able to get your tube out!
chanel7349 8 Aug 2011

keysha9220 8 Aug 2011
Mrs.h WHATS YOUR DOCTORS contact info I'm 30 and have a pouch and sagging breast I LOVE THE PRICES IN MEXICO and the results I see
mrs.H 9 Aug 2011
If you go online and look up hospital hispano guadalajara,mexico youll see pics of the hospital and in their directory look for dr.pedro sanchez gomes all his info is on there
chanel7349 13 Aug 2011
I havent had any luck finding your doctor
mrs.H 9 Aug 2011
Sorry Im so bad at writing back to you all im doing it from my phone so it takes me a little longer. Waiting to exhale if u already sleep on your sides than you will have no problems :) i have to do the same sleep with a pillow in between my legs and a pillow and then a soft pillow under my neck and im good! I didnt get lipo in the legs just flanks, my side and a little from the back. If i touch those areas its tender but other than that no pain there just soreness. My doctor id awesome he is very honest my friend went for a consult shes a little on the heaviet sidr and basicly told her ill operate you but uou need to lose 30lbs first theres no point in me giving you a tummy tuck if you just gonna look round but no saggy skin plus its more of a risk for you at your current weight"she said she was bummed but that he had a point and motivated her to lose weight. He told me the day before surgery "ok after i give you ok to work out you need to keep at it and stay healthy thers no point in you going through all of this pain if your just gonna let yourself go" so my point is he s not just thinking$$$ he wants to keep his good rep!
waiting to exhale 9 Aug 2011
Oh that is so kool. I am glad to hear you are doing well.I need to loose 30lbs still and I am so motivated I will google your doctor my only concern would be so far in Mexico and my babies will be here @ home. Your pics look good.
