WORTH IT$8,600
I'll be having my surgeries done in Tijuana, Mexico 1-27-15. I'll be updating along the way!
So far the contact with Violet and MJ have been good. I put my deposit and booked my date about a week ago, but had been in contact and considering my procedures for the past 6 months.
I had a VSG WLS in December 2012 and have since lost 135+ lbs making my breasts very saggy and my tummy also not very appealing. I also want to have some work done on my inner thighs in the future, but that will have to be at another time.

3 Days Post OP. Lots of issues
DaniDollJanuary 31, 2015
Today is Friday three days after my surgery.
I ended up NOT getting a breast lift... Which I'm not happy about, but the Dr pushed just going with implants above the muscle. I have floating nipples and my breast are deformed looking.... Hopefully they fall into place with massaging them because my surgery recovery has been so painful, I don't even want to consider having to get them fixed.
I ended up getting a lower body lift with fat transfer into my booty instead of just a tummy tuck, so I have a lot of scars and pain all over. I am happy with the decision to go with the lower body lift, not sure how I feel about the butt yet, it seems very high and fat at the top.
Issues I had, the care at the recovery facility after surgery wasn't the greatest, the male nurse we had first was amazing, and caring and spoke very good English, the second female nurse didn't understand 90% of what I was saying, so that made things very difficult.
They didn't have my urinate before leaving the facility and honestly I felt very rushed out of there in the morning after surgery. The painkillers they give you to take home are a joke, (high strength motrin.)
I ended up in the ER the same night I was released (28th) and had to get a catheter put in because I couldn't urinate on my own. When I emailed the DR about that before going to the ER, they basically told me to wait and it would happen. No it didn't and if I wouldn't have gone to the ER when I did, it would have caused worse issues.
All in all, I know it takes a few months for things to look good and get your final results, but my breasts are the main scare and issue I have. :( I'll be so sad if they don't end up looking okay because I know I wont get them redone.

What aftercare spot did you choose?
March 9, 2015
We left mexico immediately the day after surgery because I wasn't getting the care I needed there.
Ended up staying with family in San Diego after getting out of the emergency room.

I had fat transfer and fell the same way you do!! It's too high and now I look lumpy. Not worth it! Most of my pain was from that also!
March 9, 2015
Mine looks normal NOW, however it didn't appear to do anything to my butt.. I don't think it was worth it either.
BTW, that is the part that will hurt the longest.
March 10, 2015
It will hurt the longest? Why is that?? Yea that is still where all my pain is even though it isn't bad at all now. I just started endermologie sessions to work on the lumpiness. What did you do to make it better now?

Pain Significantly Decreased Today!
DaniDollJanuary 31, 2015
Hey all!
The pain has gone down a lot today and I am starting to move myself off the Percocet's and onto something a little less strong for the pain.
I am able to move around and do a lot considering I had major surgery just a few days ago.
Small side note. POOP??!?!! I've been taking a stool softener since the 28th twice daily and still haven't had a BM, I'm not sure at what point I should be concerned and maybe try a laxative.
I also have some small sores from the compression garment, but it is being very tight and doing its job. I ordered two more another medium, and a large so I have multiples and can be comfortable and secure. I do highly recommend the compression garment they gave me. Its from Clear Point Medical, and is the above the knee stage 1. They run about $60 and are so worth it.
If anyone has any reccomendations for bra's post op, please let me know! I have no breast scars, so I'm wondering at what point I can wear a normal bra? I bought a sports bra, and also have the compression bra the DR provided, however the compression bra doesn't feel like it is supporting anything.
Please feel free to ask me any questions! I'd love to help and share my experience so others can be well informed before making their surgery plans! xoxo -Dani

How does your tummy tuck look? Why did he not want to do a breast lift?
January 31, 2015
(I ask because I'm scheduled for a BL, BA, TT, thigh lipo next month with him)
January 31, 2015
I'd love to see the pics also!
Arika2015 I went to him almost two months ago. I am
Pleased with my results. Doing a two month update on Monday for progression photos of your curious.
January 31, 2015
Thank you! You look great... I've been watching your posts as well :) I'll watch for your update.
January 31, 2015
I'll be posting pictures probably next week of the tummy tuck and backside as well, it just hurts too much to get the compression garments off at the moment.
He said I didn't need the breast lift and that just the implants would be good enough since my breast were 'deflated' from the weightloss. He also told me if I didn't like them in a few months he would re-do them for free since I was very set on getting the lift and he talked me into just the implants.
I highly recommend getting ahold of some painkillers (vicoden or something similar) and taking them with you.
DO NOT stay at the city express hotel, it is terrible and guys were banging on our door at 11pm at night trying to get in.
January 31, 2015
They prescribed me lacomin ketorolaco (pain killer worked amazing as I felt no pain) ciprofloxacino bacproin (antibiotic tasted so damn disgusting & made it hard to take for a week after ugh) & caridoxen anti inflammatory & muscle relaxant ....what did they prescribe u?? We stayed a hotel
Lucerna. Very nice & accommodating. I wish your experience was better hun. I feel badly for u.
January 31, 2015
They prescribed me only cipro and lacomin, the lacomin did nothing for me and the ER Dr's in the USA, said its basically a extra strength motrin.
January 31, 2015
Did you have to find a pharmacy or did they have the medications for you?
January 31, 2015
Mine was included from the day I left the hosp. They gave me a 7 day supply of everything
January 31, 2015
When they prescribed your medications did u have to find a pharmacy?? Or did they have the Meds for u to take with u when u left?
February 1, 2015
Did you get the Percocet from the emergency room doctors?
February 1, 2015
Yes, I did get the Percocet from the ER Dr. If you have a primary your good with, I'd try to get a painkiller prescription BEFORE going and having the surgery. I suffered in agony for hours and wish I would have taken some with me.
March 18, 2015
