I have been unhappy with my body for a couple of years, I had many drastic life changes which has caused me to gain a lot of weight. It is really hard for me to lose it all. I am mostly unhappy with my stomach, even at my thinest I hated the shape. I met with a few doctors and decided to stick with Dr. Castor in Tampa Florida because of experience and price. I am really nervous because I heard the pain is tremendous. Every day I think twice if I should get the surgery but I have been so unhappy for a while now and it's time for a change! I am 5'8 close to 200 and a size 14. This is the biggest I've ever been :(

What procedure are you having done? I am trying to decide between Dr.Perez and Dr.Castor? I called Dr.Perez office for a consult they told me I have to lose at least 10lbs first before I can come in for a consult...I haven't contacted Dr.Castor office yet but I am 5'7' and I weigh 206lbs

I am having a tummy tuck and liposuction and maybe a breast reduction (haven't decided on that yet). Dr. Castor told me to try and get as close as possible to ideal weight during my consult but he said That lipo alone wouldn't be enough for a flat stomach with an hour glass shape. He suggested the tummy tuck for that...

I used dr castor for mommy makeover in jan 2013. After my experience I wouldn't even consider another ps . He's brutally honest and was spot on about everything . You're in good hands .

My surgery date is set for August 14th! I am so nervous! I know its a month and a half away but already I'm having anxiety. I start school again September 1st which is almost 3 weeks after my surgery date. Does anyone think that I'll need more time?? I'm scared I will still be in pain.

Hi I have the same surgeon and I'm scheduled for March 18. I have was really impressed with his reviews and photos. I am having a TT, lipo, lift with implant, and Vaser lipo selection under my chin. I have learned so much from this site.
