I made an appointment with my PCP to get blood work done to see how high is my Hemoglobin levels. while getting my complete physical done and explaining to my Dr.about my PS plans He suggested for me to lose some weight before proceeding with this PS so it would be more worth while ($) He says I should get the "Lapband" and started to explain to me it's a tool installed in your body to help you control your intake on food and help me gradually change my eatting and living habits he gave me a web site to check out and said to give him a call if interested so he can give me a referral,I did and found out my health insurance pays for it and thought maybe this makes sense being Dra.Robles wants me to lose 20 pounds before surgery anyway so as of right now my PS is on hold till I have my lapband put in and see how it goes from there.My PCP and I know there will be saggy and excess skin and that's when I would need the PS done....does this makes any sense??? I'm kinda bummed about the whole ordeal,any inputs???Has anyone had a tummy tuck after the lapband or another kind of WLS???

I'm here right now and I was in the waiting room I just heard the worst stories of these poor girls getting ripped off from Robles. She said to all of them that they couldn't get at least one or 2 procedures done and then they had problems getting money returned. I only know this because the girl who was at there recovery house had camilo just like me and she was telling me about there horrible experience. I hope yours goes better ladies.

Dr. Robles reviewed my photos and recommend the following:
"Tummy tuck + liposuction on waist & armpits"
No BBl or Lipo on Back she said it would be to extensive to my body,at first I was a lil bummed out but after excepting that my Tummy Tuck was more important it's totally understandable and figured I'll just go back just before my birthday to get my BBL to go with my Flat Tummy...Can't wait to turn 30 it's going to be a new me lol how many ppl say that now and days!
Now planning on scheduling a earlier date for TT surgery to have time to recuperate and go back to do a BBL all before June 2014...
Was thinking December 2013 for TT then head back in End of May 2014 and be complete by mid June...any suggestions are more then welcome!
