About to head to TJ for TT, BR/Bl, Lipo



Recommended Posts

Breast lift/breast reduction. :) My results have been fabulous! I will be going back in the fall to Dr Fuentes to have my thighs done, they are a saggy mess still. If I remember correctly my cost was around 7000 for everything but you will have to email him pics to get a quote. both him and his staff could not have been better, the nicest people ever and his facility was super clean modern and new. You will love him!

Reading through this thread, it was difficult to tell how long you stayed to recoup. How long did you stay and where? I saw it was on Rosario Beach. Was this a special recoup facility? I'm asking because I may plan to have a TT and BL this summer. Still researching doctors. But I really would like to stay until drains are out. I'm a teacher and will be off work during the summer so I could take the time to stay. Really, I guess it would depend on how much it would cost to stay there 3 weeks or more. Any info you could provide would be most appreciated. :)

I stayed 10 days, which was more than was necessary, my drains were out at 7 days. I treated it like a vacation. I rented a condo on Rosarita Beach to recover in as Im not much of a hotel type girl. The price was very reasonable and it was in a gated community on the beach with 24 hour security staff if you needed anything. They brought my groceries in, luggage, etc. I laid in bed recovering the first few days watching dolphins play right off the beach. Lovely way to recover. Look at VRBO.com, homeaway.com, and just google vacation rentals in rosarita beach.

      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.
