Booked with Dra Cardenas today!



Recommended Posts

So I spoke with the kind lady at Beauty Enhance after the doctor reviewed my photos and made a recommendation. I decided to go with a royal lower body lift for the first procedure in my journey. I scheduled for this fall. I am beyond excited! Trying to think how I break this news to my boss....

I am not sure about speaking with her prior to surgery. I would assume at some point this would happen. Probably closer to actual surgery. I sent in my deposit today.

How exciting for you! I booked with her as well. I just moved my date up to August 30th! So excited and nervous. I'm starting with BL/BA. I don't heal the fastest so I want to see how I do with the healing and scarring before I move on to the Royal lower body lift. I'm so tempted to start with the RBL, she does such good work!

Yes they gave me a very thorough quote. I talked it over with a lady in their office.

They had a special on her site for 10,500 for the royal body lift package.
Starting was 266
Goal is 130
Right now 146

I'm still losing but have slowed a lot. I have so much extra skin though it is ridiculous.

I'm 90% sure I'm going with Dr. Cardenas too. Will have the plastics in different stages because I'm an older WLS patient (52 now) with lots of excess skin. One thing that is holding me back is that 23 months out, I'm finding it harder to keep the bad habits at bay and am toying with getting therapy for behavior modification and stabilizing a bit better (behaviorally, i.e., controlling nighttime binges) before going under the knife. Congratulations on moving forward with you plans and please keep the updates coming!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a royal body lift?

      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.
