$5,400
After months of researching I've decided to go with Dra. Fatima Almonte. My date is set for February 9th, 2017 and I'm looking for a surgery buddy. I will be staying at Serenity II. I've lost 85 pounds so far and am currently at 178. I hope to lose 20-30 more pounds prior to my tummy tuck, lipo and bbl. Hopefully I can get a breast lift and augmentation either prior to or shortly after that.

Date change.
So my date was originally scheduled for Feb. 9th, 2017, but I've had to move it back to March 9th, 2017.
I was supposed to have my lap band changed out to a Gastric Sleeve, back on August 22nd. Unfortunately, I was only able to have the Lap Band removed. The doctor told me that my stomach was in bad condition due to the amount of scar tissue I had (my liver was attached to my stomach and the band was eroding it's way into the stomach wall). My since my sleeve was pushed back to December, I decided to push my plastics back to give me enough time to reach my goal weight of 130-135. I'm currently at 180. :(

I'm planning on having enough money by March or April I could possibly be your travel busy if it works out like hope it will
September 22, 2016
Has she already given you a quote? I was thinking April or June for a TT, BL and maybe BBL
October 15, 2016
I'm thinking end March into April waiting to see if dates are available
October 17, 2016
Me too....... I was thinking like mid March early April. So I can be summer ready.

Yes. The quote is in the title. I think it was 5,400 for full liposculpture, Tummy Tuck and BBL. That includes 10 days in a recovery home. If you choose to book your own recovery house, then the procedures alone are only $4,550. This is the route that I chose and I booked with Serenity II.

Hi I am planning on going to Dr almonte also around that time where are you going from?
December 7, 2016
sorry it took me so long to reply. I am in Texas so I'm not quite sure where I will be flying out from (not sure if this is what you were asking). I'll be there 3/8/17, if everything else works out. Fingers crossed.

I'll be following/stalking you Doll lol. Currently this future Doll is at the getting quotes stage but I'm loving Dr. Almontes work, I'm also still attempting to drop a few Lbs. before the big loooong awaited step. I'm researched out and ready however I like you wish optimal results. Godspeed and Blessings to you and all Dolls!

Heading back to Mexico tomorrow.
Mexico Round 2:
So tomorrow I will be heading back over to Mexico and checking into our hotel. Friday is my surgery date for the Gastrjc Sleeve.
Let me go over some stats here:
Highest weight prior to lap band: 263
Lowest weight with lap band: 177.5 (this was once) and I immediately went back up to 180 and this was where I hovered for months.
**About a month before the "conversion surgery, I decided to "deflate" my band and therefore I experienced some weight gain.**
Weight at time of lap band removal: 189
Lowest weight after band removal: 175.5
Highest weight after band removal: 201.3 :(
Current weight: 196.6 (after 3 days of liquids)
So, you can probably see why I've decided to go ahead with the gastric sleeve. I am a monster when it comes to food. :( you could call me an addict, really.
At one point almost a month after removal, I considered starting fresh and trying to do it on on own. That though quickly went away after I had gained SIX POUNDS after 4 days of healthy meal prep. :(
Screw being fat, I'm done with it. I've felt almost every pound of regain and it's driving me crazy and making feel so uncomfortable and unhappy with myself. I just want to get back to feeling good about myself, so if that's a crime then f*ck it!
It's going down on Friday! Lol

Congrats on deciding to get the gastric sleeve. I got the sleeve about three years ago today. My start weight was 267, I got down to 180 in 6 months. In the last year I gained 20lbs. My current weight is 199.6. I am struggling with getting back to 180. My surgery is scheduled for 1-4-17, I'm having a Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck and arm lift. I'm hoping to lose 10lbs before my surgery, prayerfully.

My surgery went well. The recovery has been the biggest challenge; especially now that I have my period. I've had no real appetite and lost about 18lbs. I go fir my post op tomorrow and most likely will take update pics.
