I have lost about 90 pounds in the last few years....
WORTH IT$4,900
I have lost about 90 pounds in the last few years. I am not loving the extra skin. I decided to have a tummy tuck and thigh lift. I had a few consultations with Doctors in Boston but I could not get the photos and reviews from Dr Robles out of my mind. I believe she would be the best surgeon for me. I have a date and am getting my things together. I am staying 20 days at the recovery house. I don't want to deal with drains when I get back. I haven't been told what vitamins to take but I do take B12,I don't eat red meat or chicken, so I need that, vitamin D, doctor recommended. Unsure of what compression garments to get for a thigh lift and tummy tuck? I will be taking 6 weeks off at work.., Hoping that is enough. A thigh lift is suppose to be hard to heal from...if my thighs were not so bad, I would not do it..

May I ask, what is your height and what was your weight the day before your surgery. Your body type looks similar to mine in the midsection area and I love your results. I have recently requested a quote from the Dr you went with.

Dropping the thigh lift
I have decided to not do the thigh lift now.. I think the tummy tuck will be enough, I am a teacher and can do the thigh lift in the summer or over December vacation.. Too many stories dealing with pain.lol. I have not got any info on vitamins from dr Robles. I have been trying to increase iron and lose weight. I lost 90 pounds on a vegan/veggie diet. I don't eat breakfast because lunch is at 11 o'clock.. I drink herbal tea and dandelion coffee in the morning. Lunch is bean soup, dinner salad with chick peas and before I go to bed a vegan rice protein shake.. I am going to start snacking on pineapple. It is suppose to help healing? I should be able to lose 15 pounds by my surgery. I go to the gym 3 mornings for cardio and 2 evenings for weighs.

I understand about the thigh lift. Im having tt in feb and was suppose to have a thigh lift too but ive chickened out. Think i will stick with the thigh lipo, tt and upper eye first and see how i go. Ive heard good stuff about eating pineapple too so im going to give it a go.

The thigh lift is scary...I want to lose so more weight anyway and work on toning more, although no amount of toning will help my thighs. I can do this down the road...

Very true. No one said we have to have it done all at the same time. Ive lived with them this long already lol

My friend Metza went to the Dominican Republic and had a TT with Breast Lift after 185 lb. weight loss. She had her surgery with Dr. Australia Fragoso Baez. She did a fantastic job on both surgeries. I have photos of before and after, I wish I could post them to this comment. She told me that it's better to bring your own pain medications because what they have isn't strong enough. She also said that the flight back was horrible because she still had her drains in. Pack light, you don't want a bunch of heavy bags to lug around after surgery. Make sure you have a doctor in your home town to do follow up visits with. Once you leave the DO hospital, they won't return any of your emails or phone calls for follow up care. Good Luch! if you want to see photos of my friend her name on facebook is Madison Metza Ainsworth.
