My doctor, and his WONDERFUL staff are what one should expect, when you're going through such a trauma such as surgery. He answered all of my questions, as did Nadia,and the rest of his staff. The massage prior to surgery is extremely relaxing, and the fact that he only preforms 2 surgeries a day, says a lot about his commitment to his patients. I went in to this process with my expectations under control, and I am more than satisfied. I made sure that I followed his post-op instructions to a T, and I am healing,& feeling fabulous! I highly recommend Dr.Pantoja, however, a great staff makes or break a business, & customer service means a great deal to me, whether I'm spending $5 or $5,000.

How much was your cab rt fare after you walked over the border ? I can't ever imagine doing so after a TT! Home many CC's was dr p able to transfer to your booty... U don't mention much about your bbl or show you many pics? He is on point w his TT's I have to give that to him! U should have started ur waist training by now ? Happy healing!
When I went for my second check up @ 3 wks,the ride back was $40 to my car at the parking lot. That didn't take long because of my medical pass. I didn't get a bbl, he just filled out the weird spots by hip area. So that's why I don't talk much about it, I didn't ask for one lol. He asked me, I said no lol! I've started my WT, I wear my garment , with a latex waist cincher (all day) & @ night just a medium garment. Any tips, that's no in your blog on WT? ((Hugs))
Nope pretty much same as I mentioned on my journal page great get your bbl through another PS! Lmbo cause to me he is excellant w TT!

Just stopping by to say hello!

I am feeling better every day, I thoroughly enjoyed my parents being here, and my mother loved my results, she was like "I'm going to do my arms", & I was like "Let's go now!" lol!

I still get swollen, when I'm doing too much, I also feel the weird stinging weird sensation from the lipo,but nothing I can't handle.

I also went in for my doppler/sonogram for my left leg, and ALL IS GOOD, I had pain in my left calf,so I went to see my pcp, I didn't take any chances.
So, I'm just doing toe lifts, where I stand on my toes, and go up and down. Stretching my legs (calves),using my kettle ball also help a lot.
Sending hugs to all!
Posting pics soon!

I'm now in a medium faja

I'v switched from the large I originally had to a medium, sucker is tight, but giving me the compression that I've been missing. I was able to walk for my graduation, however, the pictures that my family took shows me a little hunched over.
I am still trying to regain some of my energy, I still take my vitamins, & supplements, drinking plenty of water,however since my parents are here, we are eating, I really can't eat much, but, I'm able to enjoy myself whilst they're here.We are headed to Puerto Nuevo for some lobster!
My incision is healing well, I still change my tape every 2-3 days, clean it well, & put neosporin, theres are few stray stitches here & there, one or two sutures spitting out, but, I'll take care of those as well.I'm still swollen, especially with the extra activity that I'm doing, but for the most part , I'm feeling very positive & that is the key. I still wear my compression socks, about 3-4 days out of the week, so far my legs have not been swollen, nor my feet. I do feel a little pain every so often in my left leg, and I will have that checked out. Rest, rest,rest is the key!
Lots of hugs & kisses to all, prayers for those who are getting ready to have surgery, and prayers for those whom are healing.

Awe! Minus the pain it sounds like U had a great experience, congrats.
Hey Boo, post before and now pics when you can!
Great results and congrats on your graduation!!!
Thank you doll! ((hugs))
So do you know other who have gone to dr p I've heard many great reviews and some horrible one. I really do want to go with him but don't want to get an infection or something I do love the low incisions but I'm only doing this once you know. I just hope I am happy I plan on going December if I have the money by then
I know @Sexeeangel went to Dr.P as well, you could read her 2 part review. There are many others, but, i can only speak for me, I went in with plenty of knowledge,and did tons of research. But, the most important thing is that, I went in his office trusting GOD, Dr.P, and his great staff. I followed his directions to a T, meaning, staying off my feet, RESTING, drinking lots, and lots of water, and giving my body time to heal. Please inbox ANYTIME with questions, I will be more than happy to answer :)
