Thank you for your photo.

 I would love to add your experience to the Tummy Tuck community, but it would be helpful if you could provide some more detail about your experience with your procedure/treatment.

I'm a 35 yr old single mom with 2 kids (16 yr old, son & 5 yr old daughter). I'm 5'6" & weigh 244lbs. Always been curvy & athletic. Loved the gym, but after my car accident I was left with lower back damage (severe sciatica, herniated disc's & digestion problems) so I've gained 60lbs over the pay few years. I've tried every diet but with little success. Hourly surgery will help improve my mobility so I can workout & lose this weight.

Hi. I've been researching focus for a year, originally I was going to Dra. Fatima Almonte but because decided to stay within the U.S. decided on Dr. C ... 1.) Price. He's @ $2500+ lower than any ATL surgeon. 2.) Experience. He has over 15 years in the game. With only good reviews on Realself.com 3.) Technique. His incision is neat, low & relatively seamless. 4.) He has experience with plus size women like myself! ** I'm a fan of his work, as you can tell. (= **

This is me beginning of summer 2014. I was using the F3X products to lose weight & going to the gym 3 times a week. I've since gained an additional 25 lbs. I plan to start my F3X again to lose 20lbs before surgery. In this picture I thought I was fast (215 lbs). Want to get down to 180 lbs after surgery

Hey best wishes on your journey. What is f3x, I work out 3 days a week and eat healthier I have been trying to lose 20-30 more lbs but haven't had any luck. I have done it 2years ago lost 80lbs but slowly due to health gained most of it back I see we are about the same size. Any info about f3x will be helpful,and il ask my doctor if it's okay to take I really want to get my weight down a little more although I feel comfortable at my current weight the doc want me under 200 if possible for better results .

It's a weight loss program where u lose 8-15 lbs in 8 days. You replace 1-2 meals with their shakes & eat a protein & veggie dinner & lunch. It really does work! My profile picture was when I was on the program.

Ok thanks for the info, I was trying the gnc lean protein shake I will have to be honest I can't stomach the shakes I may have to go back to adipex it didn't help right away believe it or not I didn't lose weight til after I stop using it,crazy but I guess it works different for some people! Good luck with your journey looking forward to following your post....God bless
