Thank you, not sure. I have to think the worst case scenario considering I have a baby again and 7,10 yr olds. Right now I can't afford to be down if I have a rough time again. But if I find a good doc with a great price who knows!
I was gonna request some quotes and see what they say.

There are sorts of lists. Be sure to bring a blanket with you. Get real pain medications too. Bring fiber one bars or cookies. Bring button in the front clothes, T-shirts, skirts, and soft clothing. Loose dresses are awesome. Chux, antibiotic ointment, surgical tape and gloves. Bring comfortable shoes. On the day of surgery have a nurse with you that has brought your blanket and a slimfast shake with her. You will freeze your ass off when you wake and probably throw up. The drink will help even if you don't finish it. Learn some Spanish, especially how to ask for help.

Time is approaching and I'm ecstatic!...I have all my supplies, my flight tickets, paid for the RH (which is Dream Barbie...Gianna Colombo), and I dropped lbs but not enough...I want to lose at least 20 more, which is possible if I work really hard....I'm so tired of this fat apron plus I'm excited to just feel like I look good in my clothes again...

Can you tell me how you liked the rh? My sx date is 1/31/17 with Dr Baez but I'm staying with Gianna. Just wana make sure I made the right choice!!
Looking to have a revision and thinking about a bbl.
The recovery was hard, got a infection in my bloodstream had 2 additional surgeries after due to my body kept rejecting mesh and constantly building fluid. I had 3 drains for about 5 months then after they were removed I would go into the office for fluid removals by getting a long needle in my belly and draining 500 cc's of fluid!
Eventually things got better, but I was down for almost a year! This is why I'm hesitating on getting a revision but I would like a belly button again someday and just had a baby 12 months ago so I'm dealing with some extra weight again.
Sorry not trying to scare you , lol. Complication is my middle name! Lol
