Hello Ladies,

I thought I might as well post being that I stalk this site several times a day. For over a month and a half I have been consumed with this site. I even check updated posts from work; terrible I know. I think it's great that everyone is sharing their stories. As for me, I am 43 and a mother of three (22, 21 & 15) no more babies for me. I am about 5'7 and I weigh about 170. I plan on loosing about 15 pounds by my surgery date. I work out three times a week and I watch what I eat. Although I go to the gym, I DO NOT have an athletics body, lol. More like Sponge Bob, ha! I have had a tummy tuck over 10 years ago, now that I look at it, this TT is a hot mess. Actually it's been a mess for years, but I learned to live with it because I'm the only one who sees it (oh & my honey). I'm just ready for a new look period.

I will be going to Dr P on May 22. I am somewhat nervous but not really. I have seen some of his work and I am quite impressed. I emailed Nadia a few times and she was pretty informative. I live about 40 minutes from San Diego and 1 1/2 hour from TJ. I was there two months ago checking out a doctor with my sister in law. We both got "so-called" consultations. We were in office no more than 10 minutes. He didn't have an assistant, I think we called him on his cell phone. It was actually kind of weird. He just looked us and said yes I can do that and sent us on our way. My sister in law went and did her labs but I decided to investigate him further. Something just didnt seem right. Long story short, I google the doctors name, email address and telephone number and I couldn't find not one review. I needed to at least see some reviews from others. Anyway this is how I stumbled upon this site. I'm happy that I found you guys:) I'm even more happy that I'm not the only 43 year old woman considering this procedure. C Gray I see you girl, lol. I will be getting Lipo to my back, arms, lower and upper tummy, flanks and maybe my inner thighs. Initially I wasn't interested in a BBL, but now I am. I have never had a big butt and I surely don't want one now. But I do want something nice and cute and of course round. I just want something normal looking with a small waist. I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how. Thanks for letting me read all of blogs. My journey begins today;-)

So for some reason I'm thinking of switching...

Pretty_N_Pink
So for some reason I'm thinking of switching doctors. I have already paid my deposit to Dr P and I'm scheduled for May 22. I keep seeing Durans before and after pictures and I'm beginning to have second thoughts about Dr P. I'm about two hours away from TJ so I figured I could just find someone that does good work there (which I did). I'm so confused! I guess I will email Duran to find out her prices and what dates she has available, if any. Decisions, Decisions and more Decisions!!

are you actually seeing Duran before/after pics on here or on mmh...or, you referring to her website? you gotta do your research...some pics on websites have been enhanced....so get info from peeps you can chat with meaning she has had surgery by Duran and lives here in the states! I can't go to DR (fear of flying) so its not even an option for me :-)
March 29, 2013
I have looked at several of her patients, on her website, instagram and twitter. So the research is definitely in effect. Normally I wouldn't go back with my decision, but this gets harder by the day because I keep seeing good results from her. I will make up my mind soon though. Thanks for your response:)

Yes, I was thinking about going to Duran but since I've paid my deposit I'm going to stick with him. I just seen phat's latest results and she looks great........so Dr P is for me:).

Pretty_N_Pink
I spoke with Elizabeth, Dra Duran's assistant....she indicated that May 24th was available so I am now officially confirmed for surgery on May 24th. Yippppeeee!! Now the planning begins, I have so much to do. I have not even got my passport yet. I will apply for that sometime this week. Now I need to sell my Pantoja date of May 22nd. If anyone wants May 22nd, its available. All Im asking for is my deposit back.

Yea me too, lol. He did a few nice bodies but then I seen more and was not impressed. But I do love his boob work though;-)

Oh really? I was just researching mastopexy on here. Lol. I'm thinking that will be my next trip to DR! Lol. I will check out his boobs :-)
User Avatar
April 23, 2013
Hey hey he did me right. But to each there own. As long as we all get what "we" want.
April 23, 2013
Yes Phat you are one of the ones that he did right. You are pretty darn perfect if you as me. But I seem others that made me second guess him. Not saying he is a bad doctor, just not what I'm looking for. His boobs are beautiful and if I decide to get mines done, I will be going to him;)

April 23, 2013
Nothing in my opinion. I love him.
April 23, 2013
I'm sure you are gonna look great, you will have the perfect 8 shape. I will be watching:) I think I eat decent, salt free I'm not sure I've accomplished that yet. I don't use a lot of salt but I do season my food to taste. I just want to make sure I am taking care of myself after this procedure.

Today is the last day I'm going eat sushi. I swear! Lol. So hard because so many foods have lots of sodium. Grrrrr. I'm trying to be cautious too
User Avatar
April 23, 2013
OMG I love love sushi. I don't eat it very often
April 23, 2013
And how do we determine what's healthy and what's not? I love sushi, haven't had it in awhile but I thought that was supposed to be healthy....shows you how much I know, lol.
April 23, 2013
OK Thanks @phat mommy4 I was just wondering why littleinthemiddle said that in her comment Because I'm going to see Dr. Panjota on May 28th

User Avatar
April 23, 2013
PnP - it is healthy but i add tons of Soy Sauce!! lol no bueno!! I can't eat it dry :-( Sorry, hunnycake & mommy, i said that.. I shouldn't have. I have read mixed reviews about him...some good some bad but again, it was just MY opinion...don't take me too serious..what do i know..I am still new at all of this too. Even my Dr of choice has bad reviews :-) Good luck to you.

April 23, 2013
Mommy i have to have it once a week...ugh...I also feel its a lot healthier than fast food but i douce it in Soy sauce...I can't do that anymore now that im getting a BBL...
User Avatar
April 23, 2013
Yeah soy sauce is no bueno lol. As far as the surgeon that any of us happen to choose ... uuhuhmm we all have to do our research. And everyone needs to no that pre-op care and hygiene has alot to do with your results. The way you eat is supper important. Right after surgery my husband fed me nothing but lean fat free protien, low sodium soup, apple sauce, and pineapple along with a galon of water a day. I had no choice but to eat and drink it cause i really couldnt move. Dang tt had me out for a cool one lol.
