Tummy Tuck and Back Lipo by Dr. Azurin - Coral Springs, FL

Hello ladies!
I found Dr. A about three years ago while looking for a plastic surgeon in south,FL. I originally researched for plastic surgeons in Colombia, but when comparing the prices and putting in a balance the sacrifice of not seeing my children for at least 10 days and being away from home I decided to just pay the extra money. I knew I would feel safer close to home, going through surgery is scary enough being in a foreign country would just add to the stress. I had my first appt with Dr. A. on July 2012. They gave me a quote for $9,00 for a tummy tuck and lipo of flanks and back. I instantly felt so comfortable in his office, he was so nice and patient. The moment my husband and I walked out of his office we knew if anyone was operating on me it would be him. I had too much going on for the next year and wasn't able to schedule my surgery until Dec. 2013. During 2012 and 2013 I was overweight and tried many ways of loosing weight failing at every single one of them. I failed so many times I just lost confidence in myself and my will power to refuse foods. I entered a stage of depression that I wouldn't even look at myself in the mirror. My looks were affecting me emotionally, I would constantly cut myself from family portraits and avoid parties as much as I could. I wanted to lose weight before my surgery but I didn't. Dr. A. was okay with that, he told me I didn't really need to loose weight. He said that after the surgery I would have the will power and determination to loose the weight and oh boy was he right. I'm currently 8 weeks post-op and 42 Lbs lighter. I have been able to maintain a healthy diet, I avoid carbs ( only eat whole grains) and eat mainly protein, veggies and salads. I'm just starting to walk 30 mins daily x 5 times a week.
I will be adding some photos later on today or tomorrow. Best of luck to all of you with your upcoming procedures!

It's really hard to post these, least I want is a co-worker or someone I know to recognize me! Lol ... But oh well, thanks to dr. A thats not how I look anymore!!! I have the rest of the pics on my other phone, I should be uploading some more tonight or tomorrow. Also Just FYI my drains were not removed until 13 days post-op.
