    Thank you, I really appreciate that. I worked hard for that body underneath of the skin, and I am very pleased with the work he did to help me be who I am!

    How I researched my Dr.... I was booked and paid the deposit at Jerusalem hospital where I had my sleeve done, and I didn't feel 100% sure about it, so I asked for refrences for the current Dr, (yanez) maybe.... and they gave me references for Dr NIEBLES! (NEIBLES) so I was like........whoa, he must be good.... so I talked to a few more people, and also Christy, his US coordinator, and then I switched! I took my husband, we went one year later (short of a few days) from when I was sleeved in MX, and I had it done and could not be happier!

    You are SO welcome, I loved seeing photos, and I don't mind sharing if it benefits someone else too! With my breasts, they had to be reconstructed. My surgery was supposed to be 8 hours, and turned into 12 because my breasts and glans were so messed up. I had breastfed and pumped milk to donate to premies for about 10 years, so my boobs had had it! He lifted, did anchor cuts under and around the areola, brought everything up, took a little out here and there, tried to even them the best he could LOOK HOW IMPERFECT THEY WERE BEFORE!!!) and then did implants. He knew I trusted that he would make the best choices, and I did trust him, and he did make great choices for me, he knew I wanted to be a D or DD. He offered the kind of implants that I had searched for, and he used those for me. And they are GOOD, really goood! Recovery...I'm still recovering. But it wasn't that bad, I would do it over again a hundred times before I would ever have lipo again in my life. The tummy tuck was a breeze. BUT I worked out hard before all of this, ate a high Protein diet, and did as I was instructed before and after the surgery. I wear my compression garments 24/7 as he instructed, I have two, one for wearing, and one for washing! Just listen to your Dr! Pain was nothing for me compared to my lipo. EVERYONE is different tho! <3 Hope that helped!!!

    His coordinators is on here, she makes the appointments for you, and will give you all the communication you need. Msvetrn - Christy. She will help you out. It wouldn't do me any good to give you the Drs email, he doesn't schedule the appointments, Christy does that. Mylifeinpink at mail dot com is my email if you have other specific questions tho :-)

    HAHAH~ NO my great insurance doesn't cover weight loss ANYTHING, or PLASTICS~ No. No insurance coverage. I would never have been able to get insurance to cover anything, I never had any sores, or issues with my skin or my tummy or boobs. They were gross don't get me wrong, but I never had any issues with anything that could be documented. Thank God my body never went that far! :ph34r:

    Just depends, everyone is different honestly. I added my accommodations and compression garments in with some other things, around 8000. But I am not giving quotes, just an idea. You have to send your photos to the Dr to have him evaluate. EVERYONE is different :-)
