Hello realselfers, I had to create a new review because realself did no let me change my surgeon on the original review and I actually did change PS so I felt that it was important for this review to show up under my PS.
After giving my deposit with another surgeon I found a facebook group where members posted pics of different surgeons and there is where I found about Dr. Irving Rodriguez. I was amazed by the pics, I decided on sending him pics for a quote just in case. He responded right away and still I was doubtful because I had given money to the previous surgeon and it was non-refundable. I spoke to my husband and showed him the pics, he was as impressed as I was. I thought about it for a couple days and then saw another patient of Dr. Rodriguez post pics and that made me take the decision to change. I was looking for an hourglass figure, I had no curves at all, needed a circular tummy tuck and also a nice butt which is hard to achieve in only 1 procedure. I also liked how he did the ctt with a "V" in the back, instead of a straight line across. I had only been contacted by Dr. Irving Rodriguez by email, but he did respond every single question I had. He did advise that I needed to loose more weight for better results but I decided to do it anyway because otherwise I would've had to wait until next December. Fortunately he had the same date of the surgery I had booked before available since I had already also booked my hotel. I came to Tijuana and met the surgeon one day before surgery. I instantly loved him! Consultation was over an hour and he explained everything, I mean everything. He also had me try on different size of implants under a sports bra so we could decide on the size for the BA (did not have that before with 4 different surgeons).
Surgery day was 12/1/2015, I am 5'11", I weighed 222 lbs and was wearing a size 12 jeans. I am 3 days po and have not weighed myself yet but he did say he took about 16 lbs of skin and fat. I started wearing my binder today and I can't believe how good I look, I go stand in front of the mirror every 30 min and just stay there for a while. I never believed I could look so good without even loosing all the weight. I have curves!! My husband loves it. I got 480 ccs implants and they're perfect. Dr said he tried on like 3 different sizes in the OR to make sure I got what I was looking for. I will post after pics as soon as I can. I spent 1 night at the hospital (CER Clinic), and the very next morning Dr was asking me how I felt. Even his anesthesiologist when to see me and helped me get up and walk (btw she is amazing too). Every single day I am getting texts from Dr. Rodriguez asking me how I feel and also have seen him in person the last 3 days post-op. Boobie drains got removed today, still have 2 on my ctt. That is all I have for now, I will update as soon as I can.

Pic taken 5 days po

Today I am officially 7 days post op.. Feeling much better than the first 5 days but still wish I could move around easier and wishing I had these drains taken out. I can't wait to see my new body without all the swelling. I never imagined I would not fit into my pre-op pants.. My sweat pants literally fit like leggings, my thighs are double the size the use to be and I even had liposuction of inner thighs. I just wish time would go by faster. I had a bbl and can't sit on my butt for the first 3 weeks, that makes it a lot harder for me to rest, I cannot just sit on the couch and watch netflix, I need to use a special bbl pillow that is soo uncomfortable and cannot stand it for more than 20 min. I am still in Tijuana and will be going home on Thursday.

I am excited for you! I was in Tijuana for 10 days in November for my procedures and now almost 3 weeks post op am SO glad that I did this! I know you are horribly uncomfortable right now - so just hang in there and take care of yourself. Things start getting better FAST after the worst of the swelling relaxes a bit. Sending smiles and good wishes!
December 9, 2015
thank you! wishing you the best as well.. when did your swelling start going down a little bit?
December 9, 2015
Absolute worst was day 4-5 and then I flew home on day 9 - and THAT was bad too! Too much time sitting with my feet down. I am at day 20 now and just switched from a size Large compression garment into a size Medium. I just had the sutures removed on Saturday too - so that made a huge difference. Its about 10 at night here in Colorado and I am swollen a bit - but not too bad really. It doesn't ache with pressure like it did before. LoL - I also can finally SEE some ab muscles again! I love that! I know that it will take another month or two for my boobs to settle in - and even longer for the tummy tuck, arms and thighs to stop swelling. But it isn't too bad after that first worst week or two. :)

Oh! and my weight still fluctuates a LOT each day and from day to day. I know that the final product will be around 10 pounds less than prior - or more! But right now I am still about 3 pounds heavier than when I had surgery. Water is heavy! And I have a lot of it still causing some very real swelling. :) Don't worry about the weight too much yet. THAT will take time to stabilize too.
December 9, 2015
Wow! size Medium is great!!! congrats you must be very happy! I am wearing a marena cg size 2xl but I am a big girl, hoping to at least get to a Large in the next months. Thank you so much for sharing part of your journey, it helps to know that th worst is over.
