KD Achieve

Hi All, For those of you who have had surgery can anyone give me a rough estimate of what I could expect to pay for a tummy tuck and breast lift in the US versus Mexico? Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Very helpful! Also... very expensive. Will definitely need to save up but I am just 2 weeks post op so I still have a lot of time before I will need it. Its likely that I will need to have a saggy skin apron removed from my abdomen along with a breast lift/augmentation. All kinds of exciting!!

Thank you so much for your responses. Very helpful!

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well. I had my sleeve surgery on 5/20. I have lost 24 lbs total since I started the liquid diet the week before surgery. I am very optimistic!! I feel good, no post surgery issues getting my liquids and Proteins in. Surprisingly no discomfort since after the first 2 days. I guess I am lucky there. I just started soft foods. I have been on this weight roller coaster for a long, long time; probably 15 years. Up, down, up, down. I have gained and lost between 50-75 lbs at least 6 times by diet and exercise alone. Unfortunately... I was never able to achieve my goal weight nor was I able to keep it off. So I am truly grateful for this tool. My bigger weight problems started about 10-years ago when I was diagnosed with PCOS and then Type 2 diabetes and later, high blood pressure. I quit smoking 8 years ago which helped chronic breathing issues and annual bouts pneumonia and bronchitis... BUT also caused weight gain. I am also in a high-stress job. I love my job and the pace of my job but it has also contributed to my weight gain thanks to "stress eating". This is all very disappointing since I have always considered myself "athletic" (lol). I like to be outside, I would love to swim, I like to play softball and volleyball. I love to fish and hike. I feel like I am a high-energy person on the inside and I simply cannot wait until my outsides match. The bonus will be to regain my health. I have 3 beautiful grandchildren that I would like to take to Disney World one day but I would like to be fit enough to keep up. Its good to be here... looking forward to interacting with you and being inspired by everyone's journey. Happy Slimming to all!! KD

Pmed - You'll do great! Stay positive and optimistic. Jadyn - I hope everything is going well for you too!!

Thank you all so much. I appreciate being welcomed so quickly. I know I have a lot to learn!!
