My Turn Is Next - Mexico, MX

ORIGINAL POST

Hi to all my lovely SisStars!. I am two weeks from...

WORTH IT$7,000

Hi to all my lovely SisStars!. I am two weeks from my surgery and wanted to share my story hoping that it will inspire someone as so many have inspired me on this site. I am 43, years and have no children (all though getting the "mommy makeover"..lol) I had struggled with my weight all of my life and in 1995 my highest weight was 318lbs. I lost down to 190lbs on my own with diet and excercise (I am 5'9' tall) I maintained really well and yo-yoed a back and forth between 190-240 from 1995-2011 when I decided to go to TJ Mexico and have the VSG surgery. The day of surgery I was 240 and I am currently 170. So having that VSG surgery was a great and awesome experience. I am now ready to bring it all the way home by getting a tummy tuck, breast lift (no implants) lipo with fat transfer to butt. I have chosen to back to Mexico because I had such a great experience the first time. I have also opted (like many others) to have this surgery done all at once. I feel comfortable and know someone personally who has done it with no problems. I plan to go back 6 months later and get a thigh lift and that will be it. I can honestly say I am doing this for me. I wanted my outer body to match my inner confidence and love for myself. I am very excited and have many different emotions flowing through me as I count down to March 1st. I want to thank all those who have shared their stories unselfishly to help those of us on the brink. I will post pictures and keep everyone posted. Positive healing energy to all on this journey! We deserve to be the best "us" we can be!

Thank you very much! I am wishing you a fast and easy recovery as well. Please keep me posted and post pictures if possible and I will do the same. How is the recovery going since you got BBL and TT at the same time. How do you sleep and sit?

I have been sleeping on my side and also at times on my back with my legs elevated. I had this time a TT without the muscle repair as I previously had TT with Muscle repair 8 months ago. Maybe thats why it was easy for me to sleep on my side, although my scar hurts as it is a new scar i managed to get some rest on night number 3. As i travel home I will post some pictures soon, but believe me be I would not give a Dr. Praise if he does not deserve it. If you read my profile you will see that my 1st Ps was a horrible one and thats why I had to go to Dr. P for corrections and work that I had already paid the first Ps to do in another city in Mexico several months ago. Trust me Dr. P is legit and is a good PS by far.

how are you doing? I had a breat biopsy and then I had to go for surgery to find out that it was a milk gland. I'm so glad I could not be happier. Really!! If you have to do some sort of surgery, do not go thru with BA, if your breasts have any type of swollen.... to them when they do the BA your breast may not be even. WAIT... I had to to wait 2 months., I paid all that money I wanted perfect boobies. I have them and so glad I waited. Just wait,. : )

Had to wait for breast biopsy results before having breast lift. Non-cancerous very small (15cm) lump. I am having the small lump removed during my lift. Rescheduled for 3-20. Thank you for all the love from my surgery sisters! Peace and blessings to all on this journey. More to come!

Well, first of all I would say don't go into this being afraid. I found a couple of video's on him on youtube and I have been talking with is coordinator, who I feel very comfortable with. My surgery is on this coming Wednesday and I feel at peace about it. Do some more searching if you don't feel comfortable with him. Do a google search for plastic surgery in Mexico or even on here and see what you come up with.
