I'm a mom of 3 & so ready to get my former body back. As my kids are getting older I'm finding more time to take care of myself as far as working out eating healthy etc.

I 1st looked into getting a tummy tuck 5yrs ago. As I started looking into it I got pregnant, then had a hard time losing the baby weight, then got pregnant again, & have had a hard time losing this baby weight. So now instead of just wanting a Tummy Tuck I also want some lipo, & a BBL.

I'm overweight for height, I barely make 5ft. So now that I have my hopes set on getting surgery sometime in March or April I have made it my goal to lose 30lbs, I'm hoping to lose 3lbs a week or 10lbs a month. My hubby is 100% supportive & I've gone to 2 doctors & I wasnt really pleased with their before & after pictures. The 1st doctor wanted me to lose 50lbs then he would do the surgery, he wanted me to go to his weight loss clinic 1st to lose the weight which would cost $700. The 2nd doctor 2yrs later told me I didnt need to lose weight 1st but quoted me almost $10,000 for Tummy Tuck & $4,000 for lipo & if I made my surgery appt that day I would get a discount of 20%. Both experiences of these free consults left me feeling uncomfy until my aunt said she was going to DR or MX to have surgery, my cousin had mentioned to her that DR was a good place to get surgery. So I started looking into DR & made my decision to go there instead of here in the US.

I sent an email out & have exchanged emails with Dr, Yily de los Santos, I'm hoping she lets me know what dates are available, I also asked her if she thinks I need to lose weight to get the best results & if so how much.

Good luck... Are u at your ideal weight now? If your not then maybe u should loose a few pounds. It can only help. From reading a lot of the post most ladies loose about 10-15 pounds after their TT.

she emailed me back & answered my question about losing weight, she said it would be better if I lost 10lbs, so I'm setting my goal on losing 15lbs. Now I'm just waiting on a date for surgery. I cant wait! :)

momyof3January 4, 2013

yay I finally heard back from her, she quoted me for $4,800 for Breast, Butt, Tummy Tuck & Lipo, if I want lipo of the inner thighs it will depend on my iron levels & that will be $250 extra. I saw my GYN today for some problems with belly after my c-section, so it tirns out I have Uterine Cells growing right under my c-section incision in betweeny fat & skin so I need to get that removed before any type of Lipo or Tummy Tuck, just so the cells wont apread to other parts of m body during the plastic surgery procedures, he said I wont habe any restrictions after the surgery to remove those cells since they are not going in through my andominal cavity. He said there will be no problem with me going through the Plastic Surgery afterwards. All my labs have come out good, no diabetes, thyroid problem, or anemia. He said I'm in good health so very happy about that. Im scheduled for a CT scan next week just so they can have 2 images of the area I already had an ultrasound done & the mass is the size of a pencil eraser its not big but it causes me a lot of pain the 1st day of my period & the 2 day before my period. So now I'm thinking of going to DR sometime in late April or early May instead of March. Not sure sure about May since we will be moving from Hawaii to Washington, I have a family wedding in July that I want to be ready for so I dont know on the dates. I emailed Dr Yily back explaining everything to her so waiting in her response to see what she thinks on how long I should wait to get the PS with her. I wont be put under for the surgery to take the mass out it will be local or epideral type he said whatever I feel more comfy with.
