Wow you look terrific! I am 2 years post op (sleeve) and I'm looking into PS now. I had my mind set up to have a breast lift and neck lift but friends have told me to go for the circular or round Tummy Tuck first. They say I will be even more amazed how great I look. What did you do first? I can have a tummy tuck and breast lift or a neck lift/breast lift. Wish I could have neck lift tummy tuck, then I would be thrilled..lol I am using Dr. Parra for my PS iin MX. Who did you go with. Also....are you back to normal activity?

Can't wait to see the new me. If I look half as good as you I will be thrilled!

Thank you:) I had all my surgeries at once. I had a Breast Augmentation, LBL with Butt Lift, Medial Thigh Lift and Belly Button and TT scar revision. I went to Mexico also and my Dr is Dr Victor Gutierrez. I went back to normal activities 8 weeks later. Good luck with your surgery. You will be very happy with your new you right after surgery.

Butt Augmentation using the fat flap

Medial Thighs Lift

Did insurance help pay any plastics?

If you don't mind how much did it cost? Were u able to charge it as out-of-network to your insurance? Thanks

How long did you stay down there? I only took 6 days off for vsg by in guessing I'll need a month for plastics.

I stayed there 7 days, but I took 8 weeks off from work. Some people only takes one month off, I have to say that for me it took that long to be back to normal.

You look so great!!! You are two months ahead of me...Dr Victor Gutierrez did my lower body lift and thigh lift on 5/13/2014 I was all set to go with a different surgeon in Mexico until I saw the incredible work that Doctor G. does. I was so afraid of having a scar that made me look as if I had been simply sawed in half and so many of the pictures I had seen of peoples LBL's looked like that, so when I saw the beautiful work that Dr G, does I made the change...And I could not be happier....smartest move I ever made!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
