Hi everyone! I have been a non-stop reader on RS....

Hi everyone! I have been a non-stop reader on RS. I have read and taken notes on many of your journeys. I am a very spur of the moment spontaneous 39year old with 3 kids 13,20,23 and ready for my makeover. I used to weigh 220 max weight and after years of trying diet after diet in 2010 I decided in a Lap Band with Dr. Mark Takata in La Jolla, CA (OMG BEST DECISION EVER) !!!! In 1 year FYI it goes fast, I was down 100 pounds. I loved my new image with the exception my boobs were almost 2nd to none. I went from size 20 to size 5, Oooh yes I was in heaven, but deep down I felt too skinny. I decided to gain some weight and I felt more alive and nourished lol. I have gained few pounds(my decision) my Lap Band has totally allowed me to maintain my weight. I now decided even after weight loss I needed Tummy Tuck, and always wanted Breast Implants. I never considered or thought about Brazilian Butt Lift till I saw results and numerous stories on it. Fast Forward in October 2014 I was debating on a few Dr's in Tijuana, Mexico. I met and consulted with few but it was Dr. Pantoja who seemed genuine and caring. He addressed my Lap Band issues, and to me that meant a lot. He's a caring man, and so far his staff have been WONDERFUL! My surgery is scheduled for Thursday December 11, 2014 2pm my check in is 11am. I'm so scare, nervous, anxious, and unsure of my outcome. I hope I can feel like a new me, and finally wear jeans minus little kangaroo pouch (my ex called it that [RS bleep]). I have a very supporting boyfriend and family who think its time I finally do what I always wanted to do. I hope you all can pray for me and I want all my angels who have always been by my side to be watching over me in the next few months. This year has been a very blessed year and I never feel like I'm entitled to anything. I hope all you considering do your research and homework. The surgery can have awesome results or it can be the worst nightmare. I understand all the good and bad. I just feel selfish sometimes spending my cash on this, but I'm always doing stuff for everyone, and it's my time for me to do this for me. I wanted to leave on a beautiful 2-3week vacation with my family to Europe, but we settled for a Bahamas cruise in 6/2015 and my surgery in Dec 2014. I wish I could upload a lot of my before ,but bf gets weird about the site. I will upload as much as I could. CLUB MED it is for my 3night stay. I stay free with Dr. Pantoja 2nights, then Club Med 3 nights. I live close to Tijuana but I didn't want family to hear me [RS bleep] my first week of pain and lots of suffering. Marvin at Club Med gave me a price of $100 a night minus the transportation. 2 days and counting!!!!! I'm 5feet 1 inch, size 11, bra 36B

Today is the day! 8 hrs to go

I'm little relax and nervous at the same time. I just feel nonchalant...normal? I guess I will head on to the Walmart buy my granny panties, socks, and mini tooth paste. I packed very light I I was told CLUB MEDical has everything even my gowns. I just need an out fit to come home in.
I can't write it 5am with a full agenda, but heck In will just relax...heading to TJ 10am my check in is 1130. I wanna say I will update everyone later but I will see how I'm feeling. I got Percocet, Tylenol with codeine , and my levaquin on hand.

I consulted for free with Dr. Pantoja and booked with $500. He was a caring man and never once did I feel I was a bank or cash to him. I totally validated that when I took 5 other people to consult with him last Saturday(he told friend to wait on a certain surgery until she lost the weight and get to her goal). Dr. Pantoja will not performed surgery if blood work is not good, and he looks in detail. He quoted me $7200 for BBL, Breast implants with little lift, Tummy Tuck, LIPO. I think it was decent pricing and around range of his competition. I met and spoke with lots of his former patients in waiting area, new patients, and girls coming out of surgery 1day post op.
