Tummy tuck last week

[Janett09 59]

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!

I am looking forward to having a Tummy Tuck next year. What a relief it will be to not have to arrange my loose skin under my clothes. I've discussed it with a surgeon here in Northern California, but lately I've been considering going to Mexico. I keep reading on this site about people's positive experiences at Mexican surgical facilities.

I talk big but I am worried about the recovery period. It seems that it is longer and more painful than the recovery from laparoscopic VSG. I am sorry you are hurting and hope you feel better soon.

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..

I had 3 major abdominal surgery different from vsg. Yes I remember not standing up with those. Long recovery-Saving up sick leave n vacation time. I most likely will go to Mexico for ps since i would not be able to afford it here. I want arms, thighs and full Tummy Tuck. Where do I start? Any advice?

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?

[spiritedcowgirl63 108]

Washington state. I haven't traveled in decades, so this would be going outside my comfort zone. Never been to mx.
