I was not told to loose weight, but I felt I was cheating myself if I got the surgery without trying first. I'm still getting it but when I finish loosing weight. I have 7 weeks and I've lost 20lbs! I never thought It was possible but I completely stopped all junk and drink nothing but water. I've been eating juices fruits and veggies and just about 3-5 oz of either chicken shrimp or some seafood a day. I was consuming 4000 calories of junk a day and I keep it around 1000 now I'm never hungry always full, but just way healthier. I literally stopped after one day of seeing how much I consumed. I'd drink about at least 5 cans a soda and a bunch of juices that are supposed to be healthy but are packed with sugar. I make my own almond milk, and limit dairy and no red meat and pork once in a while like no more than 2 times a month. I exercise everyday and am so happy. Im going to feel better and not worry about gaining weight back after tt because I'm not just doing it for now it's became a lifestyle for me! And don't be fooled when I sit you can see a lot of loose skin!

Well I'm trying to loose some weight because I don't want to get the surgery and gain due to not being able to exercise. I have a month clean eating I only lost 5lbs don't know how many inches but I fit into old clothes. Many times people do use plastic surgery as a quick fix bit please try to get fit before not after that way you are use to it. I use to say I can't nothing g works. Well you have to give it your all. I don't want ps to remove what I can, once I'm done it will take care of the extra skin.

Hi, Im in LA looking for basically the same procedure you are. I checked out the Dr. you have listed. He seems to have really good ratings. I see that he's all the way in Tijuana. I'd like to see more pictures of his work though. Did you actually go there for your consult or did they give you a phone quote? Thanx in advance for the info
