Hi Suekj, Who's your Dr? I'm getting mine with Dr. Cervantes after so much study of doctors and clinics there I decided to go with him. I have my pre- surgery consult with him a month ago and I really think we is great. In my case I had 2 children and my tummy is in serious need of a full tummy tuck. I'm not in my perfect weight I need to lost 20 p. :( not happy about it! Any way I'm in my way to surgery and new me soon. I will post some pics! Just that you know there is a great grupo on Facebook for Dr. Cervantes: look for Group Cervantes Aragon Best,

I used Dr Kelly for my gastric sleeve & he suggested Dr. Martin Yanez.

September 15, 2014

almost 15 days for my surgery. I have to confess that even do I'm excited with the idea of a new look the excitement hasn't arrive. The past 2 weeks have been hard. A few days ago I close my eyes and prayed for direction and I asked to find comfort and if this surgery was right for me to be granted with the feeling of security and happiness for the opportunity of getting this done. This morning when I wake up and instantaneous I was calm and I feel that everything was okay. I got the answer that I prayed for :) it's okay to do this, it's okay to expend all this money in me, it's okay to be away for a while taking care of me and it's okay to deserve the best and give to me! Last week I did some shopping and I'm hoping to accomplish all my shopping for my trip before Saturday. I'm in my way ladies ;) !

Thank you for starting to document your journey here on RealSelf. We'd love to know more about why you're getting this done. If you'd update in the body of your review that would be fabulous! :)

September 22, 2014

Getting closer!!!!!! How you doing over there with a week to go?

September 30, 2014

Hi Skyle so sorry I didn't replay at your email. Well I'm here I postpone the surgery. I was advise by Dr. C and also the cardiologist to lost weight before surgery. Even do I'm a little over weight not to much I feel that the results will be much better if I lost those extra pounds. So far I have lost 4 pounds in less than 8 days. I have 15 more to go and I will be ready. So how are you? How is your healing going?

September 30, 2014

Hey! Sorry to hear that you had to postpone. Try and be encouraged if it's for your health and the best outcome. Do you have a new date or your going to wait until the weight is off to set up? Will keep praying that you get to your goal!!!

October 12, 2014

Hi Skyle, How are you doing? I have a surgery day for December 4th. It turned that my weight loss process it's going fast so I think I'm safe scheduling for next month. Your prayers are working! :) This week a lost 5 pounds. I'm eating very healthy and taking vitamins yo make sure I don't get anemic. I really hope to talking with you soon.

10 days post surgery!

Myangel26October 29, 2014

Well... Almost there! I got my blood test and mamogram results and everything looks good. Last Sunday I stopped all vitamins. I already shopped for everything that I will need to recuperate. My husband will be with me for two days in Mexico. He has been supportive of this procedure helping me to make the best decision regarding my Dr. and also, the wishing results!
I'm nervous and exited! I have been planning and researching about this procedure already for 6 years and the big day finally will arrive.
My weight is lower now. I don't want to lose any more weight thinking that I will not have any to fill my butt. I have been looking in this forum for wishing pics of what I want and found some. I want a hearth shape butt, flat tummy, and perky natural breast not to big. Let see what Dr. Cervantes thinks about my ideas the day of surgery.

Another day... Today I have been a hard day. I'm not usually a complainer. Yesterday I tried to walk more apparently I paid the price today. I feel very low of energy, my doctors assistant came this morning and attributed how I'm feeling to the losing of fluids. He give me some electrolytes to drink but tonight I almost couldn't walk. I steal love my doctors I think they have been there for me. Dr. Aragon came tonight and check all my incisions and told me that they looked good. My feet feel like tamale and my legs are swollen :( I just came wait that all this is over and I can go home to my son :,( feeling very depress not feeling me. Tonight Dr. Aragon is going to put me in med to sleep better it has been already 4 days that I can sleep. Love to all of you sharing this journey.

November 11, 2014

Sorry you had such a hard day. Praying for a better one tomorrow. Living the Tatas picture.

November 11, 2014

(( BIG HUGS )) This too shall pass and you will be feeling like yourself soon! Surgery makes you a little depressed coming off all the meds and is normal. And of course you are missing your family on top of that. Just look in the mirror at those pretty boobs when you're feeling down and that skinny waistline!

November 11, 2014

Thanks Sherry! Today I feel with lots of energy. I got to eat today. Is weird yesterday after been miserable I had a spell of energy and started walking straight, I even when to the kitchen and prepared a cup of tea and cookies ;) Dr. Jaqueline was so sweet came yesterday and make me laugh she gave me something to sleep and I sleep in the reclainer all night that definitely works. When you do your surgery make sure you find a donut and a recliner they will be your best friends. Love from here

November 11, 2014

Hey my angel! Guess what? Energy came back after feeling miserable for days. It was weird around 9:00 pm one of the nurses came to my room and started chatting with me and magically I feel recuperate wanted to walk and I did it for long time. I even prepare my self some tea and cookies. Dr. Jaqueline give my something to sleep and I have the best night sleep since surgery ;)

November 11, 2014

Thanks for the advice! I'll have to find me a blow up ring to take with me.

Hi! My name is Emma & you have been my go to girl :) After seeing your results I knew I needed to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cervantes & Dr. Aragon, which is on Thursday. I hope you don't mind answering some on my questions... Depending on what they say I'm looking to put my deposit down for surgery but will I be getting any test done then? Maybe you can give me a little insight on the process. Thanks in advance for your response.

May 6, 2015

Hi Emma ! Thank you for the complement! Sure, I will more than happy to answer your questions and give you fee back regarding my procedure. All depends in how soon your surgery will be. The pre surgical test needs to be done at least 2 weeks before surgery and not more than that. The closes to the surgery the best. What can you do is if your surgery will be in two months or something like this , take a CBC test here in the states or where do you live, two weeks before you go for surgery. You will be request to arrive in TJ a day before surgery. The same day you will have all your pre-op test done at the doctors office. I will be like I say happy to help you. I really recommend doctor Cervantes and Dr Aragon. I have not words to express my appreciation for how they change my life after surgery. Let me know ;)

Thanks for the feedback! Did you stay there after surgery? I would like to come back home the next day, is that a possibility?

May 7, 2015

Hi girl, Yes, I styed there for 10 days at Recovery Boutique Hotel. Depending on the type of surgery and where do you life is require that you stay specially if you need to fly back home it will not be advised because of the increasing risk of blood clots. For Lipo I know the doctors want you there for a least 3 days and for a mommy make over for not less than 7 days, specially because the drains get remove on day 7-8 post surgery. If you live locally (San Diego, LA) you probably will be require to comeback for a post surgical follow up but honestly I think that stay is much better. In my personal experience girl... I don't think that I could comeback home the day after surgery not even 4 days after ;)
