I know it has been a few months since you last posted but wanted to tell you how good you look. I am going to Dr. R in July for a TT. I'm 69 and am having an extended TT so I can't do a lift at same time. I'm encouraged by your pictures. I believe he will do the best he can with me.

12 Weeks Out from MMO

It's time for an update! Tomorrow will be 12 weeks post-op for me. I am very happy with my results. I am healing well and feeling great!

Yesterday I had an appointment with the dermatologist. When I had my daughter in two months ago, I asked about the redness on my face so I scheduled an appointment with her for myself with my daughter's follow-up. Got a couple scrips for my face (rosacea) and decided to ask about my scars. I asked her to peek at them to make sure there's nothing more I could be doing for them. I her both my TT incision and my breast incisions and she said, "WOW! Those look amazing!!" She said the work that was done was done wonderfully and the scars are awesome. Her daughter had a reduction done not too long before my MMO and she said that my work looks WAY better than her daughter's work. She asked who my doctor was. I told her I went to Mexico and she just stared at me. I told her I had my WLS there too. She asked a few questions and said that she would normally be nervous about things like this but after seeing the work I've had done and how well everything has gone, she definitely has a different opinion on the whole thing. She said she could suggest nothing to me and to just keep doing what I'm doing. She also said that for the amount I paid compared to what she paid for her daughter's reduction, the work on me was far superior and MUCH cheaper.
Makes me feel good to have a doctor look at things and then rave about the work I've had done! This is the second doctor that I've seen that has done nothing but rave about the work I had done by Dr. Rodriguez. That says something. These doctors have nothing to gain by telling me that the work looks wonderful and that they are impressed. It's a true, unbiased and PROFESSIONAL opinion! Makes me feel great about my choice to go with Dr. R.

Plastics in Tijuana, Mexico

I'm on day five post-op from surgery with Dr. Rodriquez in Tijuana, Mexico. I've had a wonderful experience so far. The recovery is no joke! I tried my best to prepare myself mentally for this but I don't know that anything can truly prepare yourself for something so major. I don't regret this at all but it's been tough. I just keep reminding myself that the end result will be worth it all! I'm staying at Casa Del Angel Recovery House and am being VERY well taken care of. The food is wonderful and the nurses are all very sweet!

I'm very happy with everything. I don't seem to have had the lingering swelling that so many talk about. My shape is so much better than before surgery. I have an obvious waist!!

I'm sorry! I didn't see your question. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the recovery house. I've been back two more times for other procedures and stayed there also. It gives you peace of mind knowing you'll be very well taken care of!!!
