So I've been on this page for a few months now and I'm getting closer to my surgery date...a little history I was really over weight (had twins) and doctor told me I was board line diabetic so I started going to the gym started using Herbalife and dropped 70lbs in 6 months...with twins (8yrs old now)I had csection and then FUPA never left....lost 70lbs and of course I get pregnant happens every time lol...had my last baby feb 2016 (csection) only gained 35lbs i dropped the weight fast using Herbalife and working out...now that I'm done having kids I'm ready to get this tummy tucked...I will be traveling to Juarez Mexico it's right down the street and having surgery done...everybody that I asked about surgery there recommend Dr.Angel Alvarez...so I went to consult with my friend she speaks Spanish and knows her way around....consult was $50 he did consult on my entire body lol it was weird but not bad...I was just wanting tummy tuck but the tummy tuck and BBL was $5500 so I was thinking about doing that but couldn't save enough money and I refuse to take out loan so I'll just be getting TT....I go back tomorrow for blood work($65) and I'll be going to my doctor to get pain meds because they don't give them over there....I'll post pictures of my weight loss journey and my ugly belly lol....I'm 5'9 I weighed 206 at consult(mar 16) he wanted me to lose 5lbs before surgery...I now weigh 188 and I still 2 weeks to drop some more weight

Yes it will be over and done with before you know it ;) Thank you for the kind words! No I did not have to wear a faja....I was given a standard white hospital abdominal binder. He told me to wear that for 6 weeks. I do wear a waist trainer while exercising though. I ordered it from Amazon. I measured my waist and followed the measurements they gave me and it fits snugly. That may be hard for you though seeing that you haven't had surgery yet and don't know your measurements
