I’ve been insecure and suffered from low self esteem for years. After I had my son 10 years ago I worked hard to get back to the size I was before I got pregnant. Now 10 years later I’m 5'1 200lbs and I feel disgusted with myself. I gained all the weight back because I like food. I always thought about plastic surgery but I was afraid and I know I will be criticized by my family. I never thought I would be able to afford it but I think I will take my chance and go to DR. So far I looked up Duran, Medina, Baez, Caputo, Robles, Almonte & Mora. For the past 2 months I’ve been researching and trying to learn all that I need to be healthy to have a successful surgery. I’m hoping some of you ladies can join me and help me on this new journey to find the perfect surgeon for me. I want to know good & bad experiences. I want to possibly find a partner so I don’t have to be out there alone. I’m plus size so far everyone I got a quote for I need to loose weight about 20-50lbs. I’m sure with dedication & determination I can do it and plus I’m not trying to have surgery until 2018. Anyone looking for surgery around the same time. I just need a mommy makeover – breast lift, tummy tuck, lipo (flank & back) & BBL. Ladies please feel free to give me input.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going with Medina because of where she works CECLIP and her policy on safety. You may want to look into Fatima Almonte. I was kind of torn between the 2... I need to lose weight as well and they both do great work with big girls. However, idk if this makes sense but I just want to be within the BMI limit when I have surgery and lose more weight later. This is why: I had a TT and gained weight afterwards and now the top of my stomach distends further than bottom. If I have Lipo and then lose weight I feel my results will be enhanced. Many blessings to you during your journey!

Actually I wanted to go with Medina but she requires me to loose like 50 pounds I feel that would make me look to small and I want to be a certain weight not tiny. I find myself second guessing I'm going to send some more questions over to dr leon to ensure I Mae the right decision. I want to have a banging body but safety and trusting the surgeon is my first priority.

Yes I feel the same way. I'm curious what's the reason your telling your job you will be out? I don't exactly want everyone in my business and how long are you taking off

Bc it's a new job & I have to pass a probation period. So I just told them I was scheduled to have surgery before I started but I never disclosed why & what. So I will be taking off about a month or so w/o pay.

Ok I was thinking out 4-6weeks but it may be w/o pay as well. I just watched a video on YouTube about the plane ride back home. Trying to prepare myself as much as possible. It seemed like a hassle

First step of this journey is to diet!

After reaching out to different surgeons in the DR. And they all advise me to loose
Weight. I figure I have enough time to do it but the hardest part is finding the time & motivation to actually commit to dieting. To have a healthy surgery my BMI has to be at least 33-35 which would bring my weight to 174-185. Omg idk how I'm going to do this. Seems impossible. It's important for me to get healthy to do this for myself. For my happiness ????????
