Hi RS I am new to the site and I am so thankful for all your stories that are helping to make my decision to claim me back so much easier. I am waiting on my quote from Dr. Fatima Almonte. I am amazed by her skill and relieved to see so many positive reviews consistently which puts my mind at ease. I have lost 18 pounds since August and working on losing another 30 pounds by March, currently I weigh 228 pounds and I am 5'6 1/2. I have been so nervous about posting but I can honestly say that the stories of the RS community has helped me so I figure it is only right that I share as well, in hopes I can help someone as well. I will provide updates along the way and share my story in depth when I have time to really go deep.

Thank you, I am... I want this really bad. Once I began to tell myself no instead of justifying why I deserved to treat myself at the Cheesecake Factory and justify the no with you want this TT don't you, the weight started melting off : )

I know I tell myself the same thing. I think the smaller I am the better my results will be. I have got the eating part alright I just haven't made it to the gym. I even quit smoking. Every time I want a cigarette I'm like no surgery.

I have been reading reviews on recovery houses, waiting for my quote so that I can budget better. I am not sure exactly what a surgery buddy is....I talked my cousin into flying over with me yesterday so that eased alot of my anxiety, I hope to go in the week of March 13 or the following week. I will keep you posted because it would be great to meet and share the experience with someone who knows what I am going thru.

Congrats on the weight loss! Keep it up you'll be there soon. Who else in DR are you considering?

BrickHouse2016

October 25, 2015

Dr. Almonte is the only doctor in the DR I am considering. I love the consistency of her TT incisions, they do not look like a 2 year old did them. If I have to live with a scar I prefer it looks like the doctor took their time to put me back together and so far no matter the size of her dolls the a scar looks like something I can live with.

Keep in mind scars outcome is usually how that patient heals after surgery but she does have great reviews.

True that has alot to do with it but I have seen scars that have no hope from the beginning.

I have a terrible scar which I'm hoping to get revision. My surgeon did get on my tt but my skin keloid after all surgery, he was suppose to inject something into the tissue while in surgery but didn't.

BrickHouse2016

October 25, 2015

I'm sorry to hear that. I am talking more about the symmetry of the incision. Hoping all goes well for you.
