Anyone have any before and after of Dr.Pantoja? I booked my surgery for January. I am excited and nervous because I have been seeing mixed reviews . This would be my first major surgery. Any suggestions on things I should buy or things I should look forward too? Also if you know of any good places to stay in TJ please let me know.

Hi Williams, I have my consultation next week with Dr Pantoja. I'm looking to do the surgery in January also!! Maybe we can be surgery buddies?! Where are you coming from? I'm in North County San Diego. When in January were you thinking? I'm super excited but very nervous also. I haven't been able to personally speak with anyone or see before and after pictures. But I'm hoping that during consult there will many pictures. I'm also meeting with Dr Campos the weekend after to check out his work.... I've heard both these doctors are AMAZING.

My date is January 4th. I'm traveling from LA. I want to change my date to December. I'm hoping they have cancellations.

Hi EF, Oh my gosh! That's great! What doctor are you going with? Campos or Pantoja? I'm super excited! Do you have a date in January yet? Were you going to do a recovery house or go back home?

My date is January 4 and I paid my deposit for Pantoja . I planned on going home

So cool to know that we're not alone in this, because sometimes it can feel that way! I originally wanted to go with Campos since a friend of mine went to him but they were HORRIBLE with getting back to me about anything so I decided on Pantoja since Nadia is always there with any questions I had, and that made all of the difference. Plus Pantoja does great work and makes your health a priority. I'm going for consult this month and hoping to schedule for early January. Most likely I will stay in a local hotel for 2 days or so and after just go home since the drive isn't too bad.

Sounds good. I will keep you updated on the process

Hi Ef, I feel the same. I'm glad there are other women doing this procedure. Definitely makes me feel secure about the sx done. I will mostly end up going with Dr. p as well. When I first starting looking (few months ago) everyone talked about Campos. Now as I am doing more research seems most people decide to go with Dr P. I meet with Campos this weekend and Dr P next weekend (Dr P is out of town this weekend for consult). I will def meet with both doctors and feel them out. I also want to see some before and afters from the doctors. I can only find a few recent from Dr P and no recent reviews from Dr P on here. Your lucky to know someone who has gone through the procedure.

Hi Ef0520, I had my first consult with Dr Pantoja today. It went so well!! I wanted to ask you a few questions about your friend who went with Dr Campos. Would you mind direct messaging me? I don't know how to do that yet.

It's not as scary as it sounds ☺️ I had my first surgery ever about a year ago with a diff doctor and I remember feeling the same way as you☺️... It starts hurting the 2nd day after the surgery.... the pain lasts about two weeks but it's a pain that you can tolerate. After this, your just sore and uncomfortable, a little burning sensation here and there ☺️ for the next 2 months... after that your back to normal. Your results get better as the months go buy. I didn't buy nothing fancy, just arnica cream to rub on the areas after my showers... ☺️That's about it. A few extra pillows for your bed, to make yourself comfy☺️ *If I was to have another lipo again the only thing I would buy (now that I went through it) would be some type of "epi foam" to place under the compression garment for at least the first two weeks (your sooooo tender) that the garment starts rubbing your skin and it hurts! your skin is so soft and frágil afterwards that the garment sinks into your ribs, sides, belly button and it hurts. I remember the garment killing me so bad that I would get one of my boyfriends XL white tshirts to place it underneath the garment. I would fold the shirt three times (for padding) and place the shirt on my belly and then zip up the garment. (I would have my boyfriend help me) so I would hold the shirt in it's place, so it wouldn't move and my boyfriend would pull up and zip the garment.... and it was should a pain relieve to me ☺️! Other then all the above I mention, I really don't think all this extra stuff is necessary ☺️ Remember to drink a lot of liquid and soups as long you can. DO NOT GO BANNANS EATING JUNK FOOD BECAUSE YOU WILL GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK AND IT WILL NOT LOOK PRETTY. I hope this helps a little...

So I scheduled my surgery for Dec 13th. If anyone would like to switch dates that would be great. If you are going during the week of December 13 and you are closer to the end of the week I would love to switch days with you . I'm trying to figure something out now. I haven't cancelled my surgery date yet because I may still be able to go but I would prefer something at the end of the week
