WORTH IT
Hi all of you beautiful ladies. Like most of you I have lost weight and regained it and more then lost it again, over and over. April 2014 I decided to finally loose it for good when my Doctor suggested to have a Gastric Sleeve. I had heard of this procedure and had even had a friend who had it done in Mexico and had done research on it and was considering going to Mexico. I was so glad my Doctor suggested it. That day I started my 6 months pre insurance hoops. I was cleared for surgery and the beginning of my new life was November 13, 2014. So here I am 19 months later and 170 lighter and I am ready to remove all of this loose skin that is hanging all over me. I have been lurking around on this site since one month after my VSG. I have done a lot of research and had decided on the Doctor that I trusted and knew would consider my safety first. Just so happens I was going to be in Las Vegas June 17, 2016 when Dr Sauceda was going to be there doing Consultations. Everything is true that I have read about this wonderful Dr. He is friendly, caring, and very knowledgeable about massive weight loss patients. This Dr knows his stuff. When talking with him it was like I had known him for along time. He takes the time to listen to you and is compassionate about his work. I left the consultation knowing 100% that Dr Sauceda is my Choice. I plan on have a body lift, arm lift and arm lift January 2017. I will keep you all posted.

Hi there, I'm excited for you! I have similar body issues that are going to be undergoing transformation in November. Thanks for posting, and it encourages me to post my pics to help others too. I'm doing bra line body lift and fleur de lis abdominoplasty first, and then probably arm lift and here's and there's after. Looking forward to hearing about your journey, and I'll be posting mine soon as well!

Thanks for replying. How exciting , your surgery will be here before you know it. Where are you having your surgery performed. I too am thinking about having the fluer de lis incision with my body lift. My Dr said it would help give me that hour glass look that I want and with all of the loose skin that I have above my belly button he doesn't think just pulling the skin down would get rid of it. Good luck to you. Please keep me posted. You can private message me if you want.

Ok cool! and yes, exactly on the I will finally have a waistline- excited! Im getting done in Chicago, Dr. Shifrin. Met him last week after a couple phone consultations. VERY impressed with him and the staff. I asked him about every question I could think of, and he was very patient, and very accommodating and respectful. Posting (scary) pictures soon!

I'll be following your journey as I'm very interested in having Dr S. operate on me one day. I too have lost a lot of weight following WLS (Duodenal Switch) and would love to have a TT and my breasts lifted and stuffed. I'm hoping to get it done next year for my 55th birthday and will look to see when Dr S is back in the states doing consults again. Wishing you all the best and I can't wait to see, and hear more about your transformation!

You mention insurance in your post - is your insurance covering the entire procedure?
