After having my two babies I gained a lot of weight. I started getting into the gym, eating, healthy, and lost about 30 pounds. As hard as I worked out my stomach was never getting flat. I did lose my boobs though when I lost all that weight. I also had this very big ball of fat on my lower back that never would go away as much as I did back workouts. I went to Juarez with Dr. Alvarez Regil, who I was recommended by a lot of friends and family members who also had procedures done by him. I live in Albuquerque NM which is 3.5 hours away. I Had my consultation with him and decided I was gna go ahead and do everything at once. So I actually got a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and lipo on my lower back w/ fat transfer to butt. It’s been quite a struggle. My husband and I rented a hotel near the doc’s office for a week. I am liking my results so far. The first night I had the option of staying at the hospital, but my mom was also going to stay in Juarez with me to care for me with my husband. The most difficult part is finding a good position to lay down or sit down. Coughing has got to be the worst pain ever, i feel like my tummy is going to open. In my opinion the lipo and butt is what hurts me the most. I go everyday to the doctor’s office in the morning so they can drain my back and clean me up and bandage my boobs and tummy again. The pain has gotten better though. I will be putting up a picture tmrw of my back and butt.

Still draining a lot which is a good thing. Still can’t find a comfortable position to lay on. Can’t wait until I can!

I bought a big donut looking pillow and I actually slept through the night. With that pillow I don’t put as much pressure on my butt.

Still sore but the inflammation has gone down so much. My boobs have gone down as well but are still very swollen. My lipo incisions look like little burnt marks. Not sure if he was too aggressive with the lipo but its very sensitive. Still being wrapped with the bands. I go back to my doc in Juarez on Saturday and that’s when they will put the faja on me.

I go back to work on Monday after a month off. I feel a lot better. Swelling has gone down a lot. I still wear gauze on my belly button and tummy since some stitches haven’t fallen off yet. Also still bandaging myself tight 24 hours a day. Monday I will start using my faja on top of my elastic bandage.
