After losing more than 50lbs my body is flabby, saggy skin. I just hate looking at myself everyday. I started at my highest weigh 266.8lbs in Decemeber 2013 and lost the weight naturally, excercising, and changing my way of eating. I started consulting with many doctors I've seen a least a dozen, here in the US and Tijuana boy do you get different options, and prices. Well, I finally made my descion and I'll be going with Dr. Timothy Weibel, I was referred by my best friend he's does an amazing job. I just loved the doctor how he treats his patients, answered all questions, and a lot were not even asked because the doctor covered them his self. As, soon as I made my descion in his office lets do it! Let's schedule. I started to cry with mixed emotions.
I'm excited, happi, proud of myself, etc. count down has started for me I would like if anything please help me with an list of items I might need. I already went today and purchased Tylenol Extra Strenght, Advil, Medaderm Gel, Ploymorin, I'm very open to options, and suggestions...hope to hear from you girls...

Congrats on your decision to have surgery. You're life is about to change in amazing ways! Add a toilet seat riser to your list, some good quality protein powder for healing, and a recliner if you don't have one. I found those things indispensable. Good luck!

@ Redwinelover, Thank you! For this advise. It's my first having surgery I'm pretty new at this. I totally forgot about the toilet riser. Will be putting on my list for sure. Thanks for your help. Schedule for pre-op on August 18th it's just an amazing accomplishment... Can't wait to see my results.. And trying not to think about the pain, hate narcotics...but, will be friends for a couple of days...

Congratulations on your weight loss and decision to undergo body contouring surgery! I am also 48 years old and lost a significant amount of weight (100 lbs). I had a LBL as well as a breast and arm lift, it has changed my life in so many wonderful ways, I know you will be thrilled with your surgeries, the freedom of loving the skin you live in.

I'm 62 and had a Brazilian Butt Lift on 8/7. Still recovering -it was a very long surgery -7 1/2 hours. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow, thank God. Will have my first shower tomorrow after the appointment. On your must list - lots of water and stool softeners. Unless you want to feel like you're having baby number 6 when it's time to go. Pain meds the doc gives you for the surgery and oxytocin will constipate you. The sooner you get off them, the better for you it will be. Good luck! You'll make it through! I did!
