***Mommy Makeover with Maikel Jimenez Ferreras***https://www.realself.com/tummy-tuck/cost

I will be having plastic surgery with Dra. Fatima Almonte on December 14, 2015. I has weight loss surgery and lost around 50 - 60 lbs and will be having a tummy tuck, lipo of full back, flanks, abdomen, armpits and inner thigh with a Brazilian butt lift to complete my transformation. I chose Dra. Almonte because based on the research I have done on her patients, I see results which I consider great on women who have a similar body type to mine. I see consistent results of great natural looking curves,, which is exactly the look I want to achieve. I am 5"5' and weight about 150 lbs so, base don what the vets have said, I can have my pick of surgeons, and I chose Almonte. She is "conservative" meaning she will not push the envelope as it regards your health and will only perform surgeries based on what your body can tolerate. I love that approach because there is no point in being snatched if you're going to end up 6 feet under or having a near death experience because of an overly aggressive approach. I have a 3 year old and my family who I want to come home to when all is said and done which means more to me than being snatched. To counter the conservative approach, I will start my surgery vitamin regimen: vitamin C, iron, and folic acid as soon as my shipment arrives (some time this week) to get my hemo up to at least 13.5. Since I am a sleeve patient, I already take B-12, calcium, a multi vitamin and biotin daily, so I am already half way there.

My body is boxy and man-ish. I have seen where Almonte has transformed women who looked like me initially into sexy, curvaceous mamas, I dreamt 2 nights ago that I woke up from surgery super satisfied with my off-the-table results. Fingers crossed dolls.

I received my order of vitamins/supplements yesterday. I also take a multi-vitamin, b-12, calcium and biotin daily. I need to check if those are ok to be taken with the iron, vitamin and folic acid concoction (meaning whether they interfere with iron absorption). I will be shopping for other post-op supplies soon. I will keep you ladies posted.
