I am very, very anxious about all of this. I'm at a steady weight of 189. I may lose a few pounds before the surgery, not sure yet. I have confirmed my date, and paid my deposit with Dr. Medina. I will arrive in the DR 2 days before the surgery and leave 12 days after the surgery.
What I am expecting is all of this damn fat sucked out of my midsection, back, flanks, and thighs, an awesome abdominoplasty with hardly any scar, and a realistic derrière. I don't want to leave the people in my life as what I look like in photos only to return with a size 25 waist and a super big booty. No bueno.

I'm a hairdresser and need to be back in the salon after 3 weeks. So I hope I heal awesomely and with the quickness. Upon going back to work, I won't over do it though.

All in all, I am excited as I don't know what. I've wanted a flat stomach for over 10 years. My stomach is where all of my weight goes first, and that area is the last to lose weight.

I just had surgery July 22nd and Medina does great work. You should try to loose a little weight before you go, or you may need two sessions to get your desired results. I'm a hair dresser also and I can tell you right now, you will need longer than 3 weeks off from work. It took me 4 weeks just to stand up straight after my tummy tuck. At about 6 weeks I was finally getting back to feeling myself. Recovery is no joke so be prepared. Healing is not a fast process.

Well she cut 20 lbs off my stomach so i love it and its super flat. My hemo was low so i am going back in 2 months actually for round 2 and a bbl. I only had a tummy tuck. I only took 2 weeks off work and it was fine. U cant stand staright for a while and even when u can once u sit its like it toghtens all over again. But i love how flat my stomach is. 1 of the best decision of my life. . I stayed at hilton santo domingo withy husband. Her massage therapist annie came to my hotel everyday for my massages. She showered me and everything everyday
That hotel is simply awesome. We are staying there again. My husband was never bored. It sits atop a mall with a planet fitness movie theatre nice restaurants, the whole nine.

I just started taking vitamins- Mega Foods Blood Builder and their Ultra C vitamins. They were on the pricy side, but I don't care about that part. I just want the best. I'm trying to cut down on the carbs, too. 8 weeks to go...

I'm so mad. I've been so busy grinding it out at work in preparation for my surgery at the end of November that I haven't watched what I've been eating. I've been taking my vitamins, but I've gained weight because of the foods I've been eating on the go. A lot of take- out, Chipotle, bread, etc., and I haven't been eating breakfast either. Sigh. My BMI is a 34. I'm pissed!! I need to lose a few pounds before my surgery, which is right near Thanksgiving. I'm not for fad diets, because they don't work. I wonder if I should just clean up what I'm eating and see how things work out. I don't want to lose a bunch of weight in one month and not be able to keep it up after the surgery, which may mean me gaining the weight back after spending thousands of dollars for these procedures... Hmmm... I guess I have a few things to think about!
