Let me introduce myself, I am 32 yr married woman of four beautiful children. I rapidly gain weight through out my pregnancy! In my third pregnancy I ended (2006), weighing 347lbs!!! Omg !! I decided to have the gastric bypass surgery (2009)! I lost a whopping 180lbs ! Losing this weight and feeling more secure of myself, I became pregnant with my fourth child( 2011)!!! With this pregnancy I gained, I now weight 210lbs and my height is 5'6!

My skin is so sagging, my body is horrible!! Though, my husband doesn't complain and state he loves me for me !!! I am completely distasteful of my body!! It is nasty !! I am in Desperate need of a mommy makeover!! Or I rather be back 347lbs! At least my body was big and full!! Now it is saggy!! Ugh!!

I have decided to have my mommy makeover with the great ... Dra Tania Medina!!!

She stated that I would need 2 surgeries!In my first surgery , I would have a BBL , liposuction in back stomach and flaps and a tummy tuck with muscles repair ! This will cost me 5350$ including recovery home and meds!!

Hooray! GOOD FOR YOU!!! You have accomplished so much with your weight loss, don't ever discount that. I recently found this site by pure accident so I haven't been stalking it long. I am convinced that going to Costa Rica is the way to do this. A dear friend of mine moved to San Jose, Costa Rica a little over a year ago. She had a procedure done and raved about her Dr. Paula Avila. Even though I am researching, it's nice to have confirmation from the inside. I wish you well on your journey, I hope you find the inner peace you deserve. I look forward to reading your updates. Good luck!

I was embarrassed to post mine too...lol I'm going in July so I'm going to follow you're post cause I'm eager to see your transformation. Not to get in your business or anything but...are you sure $5350 includes recovery house and meds? We're having the same procedures and I was quoted separately for recovery and meds? All together an its costing me an extra $1480. It's $750 for 10 days at the recovery house, Transportaion $100, $150 for medical insurance, $230 for medication, and $250 for 10 massages. Now she could have been running a special that I missed out on but I'd double check if I were you. :)

Hi, no I got my quote in October! I lock it in then! I was originally going in January , but she delivered her twins, then March But had to reschedule.

I was quoted $6950 for TT, BBL, BA, and liposuction on back, flanks, and waist by Medina. That includes the recovery house and transportation. Still indecisive on which doctor to choose.
May 6, 2015
I feel very confident with Dra Medina, she is always available for questions!
May 31, 2015
Congratulations on your weight loss! Be proud of what you've accomplished!!! Freeing yourself from the extra skin, seeing your shape, I'm sure will help you stay on track. I had a vsg and lost 85 lbs, though I had no more to lose, thd sight of rolls and skin messed with my head, making me still feel " trapped". I'm scheduled July 15, after a regain of 15. I am going ahead whether I lose a pound or not, because I know losing the extra skin/ rolls will be affirming, and I will get back to my goal for me. Congratulations again, I look forward to seeing your journey:)

Hi, no, going to Dr. Mariotti, in Concord, CA. I have had 3-4 fellow wt. loss surgery peeps go to him and they've all been thrilled with their results.
