WORTH IT$2,999
Hey ladies!! I know I've been MIA lol sorry but I just wanted to wait til I was 1 year Post Op. And I've made it I started at 265 and I am 186 now!! Yay!!! ... 79 lbs down from my gastric sleeve . So now i want to get all the way together and get a Tummy tuck (TT) and a Arm lift... Yes so I've been looking for surgeons here In Georgia only 1 offered a good price $9500 BUT she has no reviews no pictures online and only been in the business for 6 years... so that's a NO for me.... so I looked in Miami and found someone Dr. Mel Ortega and was quoted $8500 for Extended tummy tuck and arm lift. This price is amazing and his reviews are great. I have paid my $500 deposit and bought my plane ticket. My surgery date is July 7th. But now I just need to find a surgery buddy to cut the cost of a hotel cuz boy do they cost in Miami... I plan to fly down a day before so July 6th - 14th.... total of 8 nights... is anyone going to Miami on these dates? I need to stay close to the Miami airport. The facilities name where I'll be having surgery at is called Spectrum and Aesthetics.

Thank u so much! I am feeling great!! So happy i made this decision! Nd yes i actually do take the Phentermine here and there. Only half a pill. Sense the surgery i probably only took at 11 pills in 7 months. It really helps me jump start my weight lose when i hit a stall.

Hey everyone I made a youtube channel to keep you guys updated and myself motivated. Surgery weight 265 I am now 228 that's a 37lb weight loss!!! I am so happy!! I've been looking at clothes I know I should wait but I'm so happy for myself!! My long period is finally over for now anyways. I'm still barely eating I love my Slim Jim it's the easiest to eat. I eat small salads, grilled chicken, and devil tuna eggs. I'm taking my vitamin D pills. I would also like to say I've taking Phentermine for 3 days to kick start my weight loss again. I was having bad hungry cravings and found myself munching every 30 minutes. This is why I used my phentermine that my doctor approves for me. I hope everyone else is doing great on their journey. Thanks for following. ;)

Hi, it's been a few months since an update. How are you doing? We have very similar starting stats. I'm 5'7 and 255 and too fine to be this heavy! I'm also going to see Dr M in a couple months. So I'm following all his patients and their success. Hope all is well!
