Once I achieve, and maintain, my target weight for my height (5'9) I will take care of the nips, tucks, and lifts.

I'd like to be around 155 lbs. Maybe a little more. I'm okay with curves, just not rolls! Lol

Hopefully my WLS will go well in Mexico and then i can feel comfortable getting my nips, tucks, and lifts there too.

Amanda Rae

Ahhhh... can't wait until we can be nipped, tucked and lifted! And I'll be going to either Mexico or India when it's time for that!

I found this site. It seems to encompass *most* of the world. I think it will be a good starting point.

Since I have done lots of research, be aware when websites claim things. They have American Surgical Logo but let me assure you that American Surgeons association is not going to recommend out of country doctors. Also doctors pay for advertisement so there may be only drs they represent. Also I can guarantee that every country has a lot more doctors that are great and are not having their own website and I have personally met a few. Just info for you

Do you know of any well reviewed surgeons who offer a total body package? Thighs. Tummy. Lower body lift. Arms.

All well doctors do complete body makeover, some are better then others, some will do more in one setting then others. My doctor would only do Lipo all over and tt in one setting then other surgeries in another setting. My local doctor would not even lipo more then one area where is Dr Cardenas did the whole bosy and removed 10 litres at once!!!

Excellent. It will be a long road. I gotta take the weight off and save the cash. I plan to start a "Nips, Tucks, and Lifts" savings once I'm postop from my sleeve.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
