After having bariatric surgery June of 2015, I was more then ready to remove the excess hanging skin and fat from my abdomen. Sure, I have slit of things that still bother me about my body but my torso by far exceeded the rest so last month, March 30th 2016 I decided it's now or never! After consulting with other surgeon I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Eric Mariotti. He wasn't snooty and just seemed more down to earth. He spend at least 30-40 minutes with me on my first consultation which really surprised me cause with one of the other surgeons I met with, I barely got 4 minutes with then man., plus! Dr. M's befores and afters are pretty darn amazing! The man has skills! Lol... I'm currently 10 post-op and feel pretty good. Healing nicely too. Still can't stand up perfectly straight but that's to be expected.

I had an extended tummy tuck which is pretty close to having a body lift. The incisions just don't go completely all the way around.

Thank you! I'm also going to eventually have a breast lift but with implant. I also want to get contouring/lipo on flank, back and abdomen. Hopefully I can find a surgeon that can transfer the food to but butt! Since I don't have one... Lol... GOOD luck with your surgery Hun! Are you here in California?

That made no sense! Meant to say " transfer the fat to my butt!"

No I'm actually going to Dominican Republic for the surgery. I live in Washington State

How did your legs transform? They look so much firmer too. Did your doc do something there?

Oh wow! I've seen before and afters for surgeons in the Dominican Republic and my oh my! You really get a lot for your buck there. For what I paid for my extended tummy tuck here in Cali , I could have gotten the breast, the butt, lipo AND a nose job there! Lol... If only I didn't get extreme anxiety flying I would have definitely done what you're doing.

But with the tummy tuck, it also does loft the front of your legs a bit and your vagina as well

Sounds good as far as the legs go... Im going with Dr Roble in Dominican Republic

Yes Ill pay $5,900 for tummy tuck, breast lift and reduction ( way too much hanging skin) and lipo on waist. Also includes 10 days at tgeir recovery house and all meals. Goid deal. Though.... It sure would be nice to be home right afterward. Flight will cost me around $600.

Had my 2 week post-op check up today With Dr. Mariotti and we both couldn't be happier with the results so far. Scar is healing beautifully and fast! Still swollen/ puffy of course but that's totally normal and to be expected. Can't hardly wait to get my boobies/ lipo done next spring!
