I am a 43 yo wife and mother of 4. I work full time as a teacher. I had VSG surgery and I went from a size 22 to a size 12/14. My highest weight was 255+lbs. I am currently around 185. I am planning on a June 2015 trip to the Dominican Republic for a Mommy MakeOver in the DR (TT, Lipo, Breast Lift, BBL). I am researching doctors and recovery houses. I want my body to be as sexy and healthy as possible. I welcome new friends and fellow Mommy MakeOver friends.

P.S. I am open to finding a surgery buddy to join me in this wonderful adventure.

Hello! Best of luck on your journey. I had a tummy tuck in 2012 in NYC, and am looking to go to DR for liposculpture, breast reduction and bbl. I am so nervous even though I already lived the TT experience. I also teach full time, only I'm considering going during spring break because I really want to work this summer. If you have any questions about the TT feel free to ask!

I wish I could go over Spring break... but with mutliple procedures it isnt in the cards...
January 13, 2015
Yea. I was a bit hesitant since I'm having two done as well. But honestly, with the tummy tuck I recommend at least a month off. I went back to work after two weeks and every time i overdid it, I'd pay for it. Lucky for me, our spring break lands in May, and I'm saving my personal days. Can't hear any complaints especially since state exams will be over by then! I think I'm gonna go with Fatima Almonte.

I came into this just looking at going to Almonte and Yily. Yet now I have quotes from:

~Almonte
~Duran
~Fisher
~Goico
~Robles
~Yily
and I just sent pics to Cabral.

And I am still unsure... If I had to rank them in order in terms of my surgeon preference I would list them.

1st -Duran: Her bodies seem almost perfect. She is hard to reach though. In addition, her prices are the highest and include the least.

2nd-Yily/Robles: They work is comparable in my opinion. YIly is a waist snatcher and Robles make great assess. Neither have a solid track record in terms of breast lifts however.

3rd-Goico- He is super personable but a very conservative surgeon. I want a more tiny, snatched waist than he usually does. In addition, he requires a 14 days stay. My hubby is not too keen on me being gone for that long of a time period. However, his breast lifts look magical.

4th-Almonte: She does good bodies overall, but she unwilling to do all of my procedures at the same time.

5th-Fisher: I don't think that US doctors have the skillset or legality to snatch and suck the way the dominican doctors can and do.

On a brighter note... I am finally under 180 for more than 1 day. I am excited that cutting back on the carbs and working out has re-ignited my weight loss.

I changed my date back to my original time frame of Dec. God told me I needed to move so I did. Much happier where I am now and recovery will be easier for me during the winter. Blessings on your upcoming surgery.

Making moves towards my goals

I changed my doctor and I chose my recovery house. I am going to Dr. Fernandez-Goico. I am scheduled for my surgery on June 12. I also am using Serenity as my recovery house. I have sent them both a deposit and now I have months to get my mind and my body right.

I had a visit with my PCP and she is not okay with me going to the DR for my surgery, but she has agreed to be my follow up physician. She also ordered a complete blood work up and on EKG. MY EKG came back fine but my blood work revealed that my hemo was low. I was days into my menstrual cycle. I am now being more aggressive with my vitamins and stuff.

My follow up is March 26th. I am hopeful that it goes up. So that is where I am. I want to lose at least 10 pounds.
