Hey ladies, like many of you I want to get a tummy tuck with lipo. I am going to DR with a friend who has family out there. I am really excited yet nervous about this procedure! The doctor I chose is Serulle. I heard many great things about him and 3 ladies recommended him to me and seeing their results reassured me 100%. I also read about him and his certifications; I am very pleased.
I am 26 years old and a mother of a beautiful 4 year old girl. I have done everything from working out to juicing, fasting to diet pills!!! None have really worked except exercise and juicing which I plan to continue after my surgery!!!
I would like tips, information and advice from those of you who have already had the procedure done! I am trying to prepare mentally, physically and emotionally!!
Thanks ladies!!!!

You should be nervous! Why would you go to a third world country to have surgery. You owe it to your daughter to be a little more responsible

Well Mr Hyman, I appreciate your advice but just as it is an advice I decide if I want to take it or not. First of all, whether it's a third world country or not it's not the problem because the dr I am going with has his credentials and went to school in the U.S. He is a part of the AACS ASLSS and even president of the Dominican society of vaginiplasty. Therefore, before you go insulting another country get your facts straight about the source. It makes you look a little less rude and less of an American idiot!! The comment about my child I won't even entertain!

MsStarr, congrats on your decision. I hope Dr. Hyman (if he is really a doctor) sees my comment. I am born and raised in the USA. I never considered plastic surgery or any for that matter outside of the USA because of the unknown. I am however from Dominican parents and have visited my "third world country" many many times and it is beautiful. For a "third world country" we sure get a lot of tourists. In October I had lipo to my back and arms and cellulaze to my posterior thighs by a plastic surgeon in New Jersey. It cost me $14,000. I see no difference at all. My money was paid and I have absolutely no results. In January, my husband finally agreed to my getting a tummy tuck and I couldn't be more pleased. However, even though I have the money to pay for it here, I will not do so. I am going to Dominican Republic because I feel that I can get a better result not to save money, although I do believe many plastic surgeon in the States overcharge because they have such a large overhead. Dominican Republic is a very populated country therefore Dr. Hyman I can dare say that there must be some great doctors over there that have managed to keep patients alive and well and growing. I have family there and they get sick and are treated by doctors just as well if not better than doctors here. Your comment is unasked for, and frankly for a doctor it is rather closed minded. Which is why I don't think you are a doctor and shame on you if you are. MsStarr, I have heard nothing but great things about Dr. Serulle as well. I will be going to have a mommy makeover with him in July. Good luck and stay clear of the nay sayers. As any surgery, you have to do your research, which you have done and make sure you are healthy enough to have any kind of surgery. When are you going?

Aww Melanic!!!! Thanks!! I will be going in May!! I have scheduled my appointment with my dr here already. I have done my research and as you I do have money to pay for it in the states, I prefer a dr that can give me curves of a time glass not a coca cola bottle. Many works of doctors here is so square, thin, but square! That is not what I'm looking for! Looks like I'm up before you! I hope my results give you reassurance and fulfill my dream! There are four of us supporting one another on this site and it has been a blessing!!

So I wanted to lose a few pounds before my procedure and enrolled with Herbalife. Today is my first day!!! I will do it for one month along with healthy eating habits and a 30min work out plan! I will finish at least 3 1/2 weeks before my procedure so it will not affect me. I am really excited!!!! I'm at 192 pounds! One pound at a time!!!! My goal is 180 before May 28th. Today I also have my appointment with my doctor to run my blood work and to get my go for my surgery.

You've set a realistic weight loss goal, which is great! It's so sad when people try to set these outrageous goals for themselves, and then they are just disappointed. You are going to look fantastic! I can't wait for the updates.

Thanks!!! And I agree with you!!! I used to crash diet and it came back twice a much. Now I'm more aware of being healthy as opposed to looking skinny! Are you getting any procedures done?
