Progress pics

So I guess I'll share a progress photo so you can see the change that the tummy tuck as made, even though its not drastic like some others, it's better than where I started.

Selecting the surgeon right for you...

So I know Dra. Almonte is known as "The Fat Girl's or Plus Size Girl's surgeon" but that's not the most accurate assessment. She works with all sizes and she can give a good starting foundation for a Plus Size doll, but you will NOT get the drastic change you would see with many other surgeons (ie. Manon/Cabral/Disla/Marte). I love Dra. Almonte, and I know she did the best she could working with my starting point. I was very out of shape and knew I would need multiple rounds. However I didn't expect that there would be any issues with flipping me because I have no medical history of any kind of medical conditions or concerns (no blood pressure/lung/heart/other chronic issues) yet she is VERY VERY cautious and will not do anything if she is fearful you will have a risk or complication. So be prepared that if you select her, she will only do 1 procedure at a time if you're on the higher end of the BMI requirement (I was 35.60), if you carry all of your weigh in your tummy like me, and if you have a low hemo (my hemo was 13.6 but she still only did 1 procedure due to the CECIP Cardiologist's recommendations of potential concerns...see previous post for details on that).
