    Time off for 360 body lift

    I had Exstended Thigh lift and Upper Eye Lid Surgery,Arm and Breast lift and skin removal ,belt-Lipectomy . You need at least 2 weeks, but in my experience you need to take 4 weeks off. There is no pain with these surgeries, but you are very uncomfortable because the skin is so tight and pulling and therefore you are very restricted on what you can do.

    Mexico-Cosmetics

    Dr Medina Sanchez is great.. I had all my surgeries done by him. I lost over 200 pounds and he preformed a Arm and Breast lift and skin removal ,belt-Lipectomy ,Exstended Thigh lift and Upper Eye Lid Surgery.He is in Tijuana and works at 3 different hospitals. Here is his info. www.cirugiapostbariatrica.com.mx www.drsalvadormedina.com.mx Let me know if you have any other questions.
  3. I have finally reached my goal at 148 pounds after losing 230 pounds, 2 years after sleeve operation with Dr.Ortiz @ OCC in Tijuana Mexico. I also had Arm and Breast lift and skin removal in November . Followed by a belt-Lipectomy in March and Exstended Thigh lift and Upper Eye Lid Surgery in June. All Plastic Surgeries were done by Dr Medina Sanchez at Ariel Center or OCC in Tijuana, he is the Chief of Plastic Surgery . My Results are amazing and I had no complications. There are before and after pictures in my profile Gallery. If you are looking into Plastic surgery After weight loss, I highly Recommend Dr Medina. After dramatic weight loss you are faced with Loose skin. Yes, I will have scars, but they are worth it. And they become a very fine line that you can almost not see anymore. Well worth the results. The surgeries were painless for me.Your mobility is limited for the first 2 weeks and you find out how hard it is to get out of bed when you cant use your abs. Or how difficult it is to bend over and pick things from the floor. I was walking and doing normal activities within 2 weeks of surgery. We all heal differently, and i healed quickly. I did use compression garments because they do help with swelling and protect the scaring. I wore them each time for 4 weeks. I love my Plastic Surgery results. I made me more confident, I feel good about myself, I enjoy a lot more of what life has to offer. I can go out in public without feeling that people are looking at me differently.I am healthy. I love traveling and now I can fit easily and comfortable in a middle seat on the plane. And after 30 years of hiding I bought a bikini, that I will proudly wear this summer at age 50. I have rediscovered myself. Thank you Dr Medina Sanchez, Dr Ortiz and the staff at OCC for your help on my life journey . It has been a wonderful experience.

    Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC

    I can also tell you from my own experience that I barely spent 5 mins with Dr Ortiz during the whole time but Dr Martinez was very accommodating with his time , he spend at least 30 min with me before the operation. You really are in good hands with Dr Martinez and Ortiz. I was sleeved on July 12 and never had problems. I really do think they are one of the best. My research at the time could not find anybody with complications that went to OCC.

  17. I had one for 2 days. But didn't bother me, just a little uncomfortable when dressing. But I put it in my panties, and wore a loose dress. They took it out when i was discharged. No problems.

    Feeling afraid of failure

    I am in the same boat. Had surgery on July 12 and only lost 2 pounds. I am on 400 Cal a day. Pre surgery I lost 20 pounds. Its so frustrating.......but i guess in time it will come off, once we start exercising.

    not eating enough

    I make my own soups, Cauliflower soup or Mushroom soup or black bean soup. I only eat 1/2 cup for lunch and dinner but it fills me up and its all natural and it contains protein and liquids.
