WORTH IT$3,799
I lost over 180 pounds! I'm still losing, it was the best option for me and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
If you choose this surgery be prepared for a major life change, FOR THE BEST!
I have booked my tummy tuck with muscle repair and bbl for april, there's more weight to lose but I'll reach my goal soon. I'm 205 at the moment and that's ok because I will be pushing myself to 190 soon.

So far I have lost over 100 pounds from my heaviest weight I have ever reached and I was able to do it without constantly going to them gym, I also have lost a lot of hair might I add because I HAVE NOT BEEN TAKING MY VITAMINS which was and still is a huge mistake. There were moments when I had forgotten all about the surgery because I was too busy living and times when I felt down because I thought it would be different. Well so far I can not complain, I know I need to actually take my vitamins and life will be a lot more easy.
I was never prepared for the constant CONSTIPATION!! It has been horrible, believe me when I say make sure you take something to help you out. there is so much information that people do not tell you and there are things you think you know but have no idea about. Everyone is different and everyone has different expectations for what end result they desire, I know for a fact that I will need some type of surgery for the skin and shape that I want but that is going to happen sometime next winter or whenever I reach my goal weight.
I will tell you that it is not a easy task at first but it is surely worth it!

Hey Ms. Rethink, hope all is still going well after surgery. Can you please give us an update? How much have you lost? Have you suffered any other obstacles? Currently searching for a Dr. in Mexico, would love to hear your thoughts.

Hello, I have not had any complications whatsoever. Other than constipation and that is because I'm not a big water drinker. I have lost over 180 lb, and I'm still trying to lose more before I have another surgery.

So far so good, it has been more than 4 months and I am down over 88 pounds. my body has changed a great deal and I have a lot more energy now. I have been having acid reflux but only when I drink water, which is very odd. my eyes still get bigger than my stomach and I try to push my pouch which is a horrible thing, I have been trying to work better on my self-control. My skin is loose and my boobs are floppy lol and my behind is completely flat but that's ok I expected that. I guess it was the first to go because it is not really needed. my hair is now shedding and I have just started taking more vitamins because I am afraid i will be bald sooner than later. I really have not been working out for the past month or so because I have had a few depressive moments to deal with and some lazy days. I will start to do more soon because I have set a secret goal for myself to reach the 100 lb weight loss goal by Christmas. I get discouraged a lot because I see people that have had the surgery after me already hit the 100-pound loss goal, but everyone is different. If anyone has any great ideas on what to do from now to then I would greatly accept the input.
