I have always had an issue with my weight from I was a child growing up. I was very skinny until puberty hit me and I gained so much weigh, try as I may in college to get it off and keep it off. Now that I am married I am gaining it all over again. I want to be able to wear a bikini on the beach and feel great in my own skin. I am from Jamaica but now living in the Cayman Islands (hence my obsession with the beach)
I few months back I started following Dr. Miami on IG and then I though I could not afford it. Some how I came across Dr. Fatima's page and I fell in love with her work and her reviews were awesome! I googled her and it took me to RealSelf *so I am here now, feeling a bit more confident*
I emailed her my pics stating that I want a liposculpture full back, abdomen, waist, flanks and thighs. After her review she recommend Tummy Tuck + Liposculpture full back full abdomen flanks waist + BBL.
I am somewhat scared to do a TT as the recovery requires me to stay at least 10 days, but I only have 15 days vacation for the year and for 2017 I have 2 weddings in Jamaica plus my wedding anniversary and not enough days. So now I am between a rock and a hard place.
I need help in making a decision.... I don't know what to

i too really am not able with the down time for a TT. I don't know how yr research and funds are going. Dr fisher in Miami could give you great results without a TT he is pricier than DR tho. you dont even have excess skin or stretch marks (lucky you)

I think I have seen some of Dr. Fishers work on IG but he is very pricey. I do have stretch marks not on my tummy but on my flanks , not alot tho.

I have been following Dr Fatima as well. I haven't gotten up the nerve to send pictures yet I wanted to lose more weight first. Does the cost of the $5300 include your stay at the recovery house?

Yes it does, 10 days in Recovery house, meals, 24 hour nursing monitoring. Just muster up the courage and take your pictures and send it to her so you can know where to go from there.

Hey Cgambre, here's a list of things I brought: 2 pairs of compression socks (walmart), 6 maxi dresses, 8 cami's (only used 5, because they was them for you), wipes, feminine wipes, alcohol pads, Neosporin, arnica tablets, arnica gel, hibiclens, midol complete, maxi pads, laxative, stool softener, iron pills, vitamin c, sleep aid, folic acid, portable master lock safe, reading material, laptop, headphones, 6 pairs big girl panties, yoga pants and larger than normal shirt to go home in, flip flops, gum, snacks (I gave them all away to the girls that work at the recovery house), crystal light, protein shakes, boppy pillow, robe, night gown, socks (one pair), phone charger, Tylenol, chux pads, thermometer, tooth brush, toothpaste, washcloth, 1 bar soap. I think that's it, I will update if I think of something else.

Tummy tuck down time.

Today I am feeling a bit more confident in getting the TT.... well one aspect of it. I emailed Lesley yesterday and she responded today stating that I could stay for 8 days instead of 10, so I will work with that.
My other fear now is the pain... Oh Lord I cant manage pain. I have read where the first 3 days after Sx is horrible. I cant even stand menstrual pain. I am watching reviews on Youtube to see how others had dealt with the pain.
Any advise from you Dolls would be greatly appreciated. Oh I am still leaning towards Dr. Almonte (there is something about her and her assistance that is warm and kind even in a professional email).
I will keep you posted on my journey.

* Tummy tuck with muscle repair?
* Liposuction on waist?
* Liposuction on lower and upper back?
* Flanks?
* with or without lipoinyection to Buttock (BBL)?

Price: US $4500.00

Recovery House included:

* Shared room ?
* All the Meal,?
* Nurse 24/7,?
* AC?
* Wifi?
* ?
US$75.00 per night. 10 nights US$ 750

I would choose a different RH because I cannot stay for 10 days, I have to get back to work. So now I am confuse as to which Dr to use..... i want to make my deposit at the end of the month so I can book my date and start checking out flight.
