Hi, I just read your profile....I wish you a smooth recovery. I'm the same height as you and I'm down to 170lbs now, can you please tell me how much you weighed when you made it to the DR. I like your results so far so I was wondering should I lose more or stay where I am? Thank you so much!!

I would definitely stay where you are. I actually gained weight unintentionally due to stress (relationship ending, work hours being cut, etc;) So I was 185ish when I got my surgery and when I got back home I was down to 175lbs. You really don't have much of an appetite for the first two weeks or so and you sleep ALOT. So I wouldn't drop any more. Good Luck!

Thank you.....I was trying to get down to 160 but I will take your advice and stay where I am. If my results look anything like yours I'll be happy. Happy Healing!!!

I will keep this as brief and as short a possible, I personally hate reading through extra long updates. I had my surgery on December 2nd with Dr. Duran and got a TT, BBL, Lipo of the arms and back.

DR.DURAN-Very busy woman but is very concerned and caring when it comes to her patients. I had a great experience with her and highly recommend her. Even though it is very early I'am very pleased with my results.

SUPPLIES-I have read alot of posts that are pages long but for me I found that the only supplies you will need and USE while in the DR are:
SOCKS-CHUXS-PADS-ARNICARE-PAIN MEDS-2 MAXI DRESSES AT MOST-BENADRYL-BABY WIPES-STOOL SOFTNERS-URINE FUNNEL-ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP-A FRIEND, SPOUSE, SIBLING, SOMEONE ELSE! Most of my time was spent sleeping I was so tired and in pain. I had to have a blood transfusion and recovery is no joke this is a major surgery.

ARMONIA RECOVERY HOUSE- Mxed feelings place was clean, it's brand new and they are still decorating. Flaca, Patricia, and Ruth are the bomb. I felt so safe and well taken careof when I was there. The $ituation was sketchy. All the girls in the house including myself noticed that we were going through our money REALLY fast. We weren't given receipts most of the time and when we brought this to the attention of the owner we were promised receipts but were never given any. I personally can't account for some of my money BUT I feel like before you call someone a thief you damn well better have proof. That's why I can't stress the importance of bringing somone with you because you will be a hot mess after surgery, especially with multiple procedures.Money situation aside I would recommend the place.

RECOVERY- When I tell you it's unreal, believe me it's unbelieveable. The pain on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 20, I can only speak about getting multiple procedures. Tummy Tucks are no joke they will leave you absolutely helpless and 100% dependent on someone else. You will never get used to the rock hard feeling of your stomach and the numbness on my back from the lipo and arms. It's a slow process just be patient.

I think that's why girls post like crazy before the surgery and then disappear after the surgery. Recovery is exhausting. I had to force myself to write this post and I only did it because it is frustrating when you are trying to do your research and you never get to the after part.

It's only been two weeks and four days since surgery but I will add photos gradually, I don't have the energy to add photos of myself is different outfits yet.
