It so far has not been a bad experience at all , I got my procedures done all in one operation and the recovery is not easy but not unbearable . I'm happy with the low cut on tummy and soon I will see better results within days for my swelling to go down . Happy "G"

Awwwwwe !!!!!! That was painful I went to office to take of tubes / drain and also get the new body waist band. She was gentle but it was painful when putting bodysuit on ! It took a lot of energy out of me , I should have eaten before hand . Very close to fainting ! The things we do for beauty ! Still a happy "G"

It has been a week , and the toughest part for me...

It has been a week , and the toughest part for me is during night time. During night i get bit more swollen and sleeping is a bit hard , since I have to sleep on my side due to butt graphing and back lipo . This process is a bit long and boring for me , I'm usually very active thank goodness for my online classes, they keep me occupied.Physically I feel better dont feel so sore when I get up out of the bed , the first days that itself was quiet challenge but not too unbearable just had to do things slowly.Im just very happy that during the fist week I had pain killers meds and sleeping pills they really helped during night time . This week I believe I'm taking off my stiches and not looking forward to that I have a feeling it may hurt! Hopefully I'm wrong . Happy still with my choice of doing it , just at times I get bummed when I see family doing fun things and I can't join , but I know it's gonna pass and ill be happy "G " again , just with a nicer body ! Hee! Hee!

Well today I can finally sit , Hooray!!!!
My doctor gave me the okay , it's been a bit hard to sleep on my side and not be able to sit . Also today some stitches were taken out , and I guess I've been the humpback of northers am for too long, I was suppose to stretch straight slowly and I did not because I thought I was gonna get stretch marks , but I was corrected to the right path with my doctors appt. today ...... The practice seemed a bit busy , my initial appt. was set back due to justifiable reasons ..... But the second appt. was set back again and I had many concerns and questions , I'm aware the office is a bit small and it seems like their getting good recommendations through word of mouth , but the new young girls really need to be a bit more personable and know how to communicate better. Hopefully these young girls pick up the pace , for the sake of future patients . But I must say I'm very happy with my results , my tummy tuck line is low , just like I asked . And The doctor and her assistant have been very helpful . I'm aware I'm not the easiest patient to fully please .... But so far I would recommend to a friend or family member I feel like I'm in good hands , as long ad I don't deal with young girls in training.
Happy "G" still !

Later today I have another weekly check up ! I'm feeling good I can finally sit now and I can sleep a bit better. Everyday I dusinfect with alcohol massage and lather myself with vitamin e and baby gel oil. My stomach feels tight but everyday it's feeling looser ,I can stand straight and I'm walking normal. At first it use to hurt to walk but now it's getting easier daily. I still feel swollen at times especially when I don't stop and rest too much , but you can see I still have some swollen part on tummy hopefully it goes away soon! Here's a pic of me I did butt graphing and tummy tuck and lipo on back top and bottom. Hopefully this can help someone with their recovery to have an idea what to expect !my pics have markings from my body waistband I wear daily ! Happy "G"

Hi there!

Well I went to my appt. and I guess I was a bit bloated still , she gave me 5 pills to help lower my swelling also got poked on tummy to make sure o did not have fluid left in there ,( no worries) it did not hurt ... Also well that evening I though I was feeling better and was able to move more comfortably , so silly me decided to dance at a restaurant and those margaritas got to me big! Mistake I was soooo sore the next day and my leg hurt, thankfully few days have passed and I feel good as new ! still feel a bit swollen but its bearable , during night I feel it much more . Happy "G"

My experience going to a doctor in Tj , at first was frightening just the though of going out of the country. Because of price and word of mouth regarding this doctor decided to get my full tummy tuck , back lipo , butt graphing , and revision of one breast due to an error of another doctor .
