Sleeved on 05/20/2013. Tummy tuck and flank lipo on 11/21/14 in Nogales,MX with Dr. Covarrubias (Hospital Clinica Del sol) Fat transfer from legs, upper back and pubic area to the gluteal area in March 2015 ☺️☺️

In Arizona... Dr. Jose Luis Covarrubias in Nogales Mexico (border with Nogales, Arizona) 2.5 hrs away from Phoenix
-
It was super clean and very well taken care of ☺️
-
Yay! You will feel much better☺️

I lost 80 before the TT and I've lost 20 more since. It was $4.500 for TT and flank lipo. The experience was great everyone was very nice ☺️☺️ and its only 2.5 hrs away from here (Phoenix) .

I was at 240 before the sleeve, I was at 160 TT day. Currently 140. 18 months I was at the same wt for 5 months (Not at goal) got to goal after TT part of the wt loss was the 8.14 lbs of skin removal Tips- take tons of before piks! -Clean and clean before your surgery, it takes a while to get back to normal. -Have a recliner and lots of pillows ready -have all your meds, gauze, tape etc etc ready -button up pajamas -you need an accessible room/restroom (1st floor) I am super happy! I just wish, I would have stayed home for another week post op 28yrs ☺️let me know if you have any other questions☺️

I was sleeping in a recliner. My bed is to high up and the recliner was much easier to handle.
-
Yes! Day 2 was the absolute worse it does get better
-
Recovery-- the pain was horrible the first week (again, they removed 8.14 lbs of skin) the second week is manageable. I was back at work in one week... 2 weeks would have been nice. I am 6 weeks out, I just started sleeping in my bed again!! still wearing the girdle for another 2 weeks. I should be back at the gym any day now (no sit ups). Everyday is easier and easier. I have lost 18 lbs since the TT. I am so glad I did this! Totally worth the EXTREME pain! ☺️☺️☺️
-
Much better the first week is horrible but everyday gets better and better! I would say I am 90% back to normal.
-
I do have an incision from hip to hip, not bad for all the skin he removed. The pain was horrible!!!! (the drains) not the actual surgery. Lipo was not bad at all! I was back at work in one week, 2 weeks would of been ideal (but I sit all day lol) My walking is finally getting better but its a total emotional roller coaster after surgery... Happy, anxious, mad, frustration etc etc but totally worth it!!!!!
-
No, I paid $4.500.
-
After tons and tons of research... I had my TT and lipo (flank) on 11/21 ($4.500) It was the worse pain I've had but totally worth it! Flat stomach after a 90 lb wt loss (sleeve 05/20/13) My plastic surgeon is Dr. Covarrubias in Nogales MX (Hospital Clinica Del Sol) the staff is amazing ☺️☺️☺️ I had my post op appointment yesterday and the drains are OUT ☺️In about 3-4 months, I'm getting lipo (thighs, pubic, upper back) and fat transfer to my gluteal area. I am very happy and excited to start this new journey!
-
How exciting!!! It is totally worth it! Best of luck ☺️☺️☺️☺️

I waited 18 months. I had TT and lipo 2 weeks ago in Mexico. Loving the results so far. Best of luck! ☺️ -
I did tons of research and I made sure I wasn't too far from home and super close to the border... 8 other friends went with my same surgeon so I felt pretty good ☺️ what state are you in?
-
Thanks! Yes, recovery is nothing like VSG surgery this is much more painful but completely worth it ☺️ I am only one week out and I would do it again..
-
Thanks! I'm still very swollen, cant wait for the final result ????
-
I still cant stand ????
-
It's great not to worry about "my flap"... My experience was great ☺️ best of luck!
-
I will post piks as soon as I am able to stand straight ☺️
-
