Congrats, Big Daddy! Which doctor did your surgery, and where? (Monterrey, Tijuana...)

[Guest BigDaddy216]

Dr. Huacuz in Tijuana. I went through the Molding Clinic and really enjoyed the set-up they have. Did you like Monterrey?

hi

I havent been so relieved about this operation than right now after reading this post.

I have been in the medical field before and the dr's are not like that.They are friendly but get on with the bussiness at hand.......these guys treat you like 1. you are very special or 2. you are their only patient......

I live in Dubai and all my dr's are locals and they do the same thing.

I got so totally paranoid.The operation is on Saturday 30 April. I kept thinking I am their only patient and that is bad.............It is a team of doctors and they are also part of a very exclusive cosmetic surgery clinic.I am so scared ........

Not great for a first post but.......

Hey BigDaddy!

So happy your home-safe & seem to healing VERY well. Some words of wisdom I have learned. Work really hard at following the program every dam step of the way. Try and never cheat. Easier said than done I would think. Keep losin on you own without a fill & try putting a fill off for as long as possible . AS LONG AS you are still loosing 1.5-2 pds per week. You can really get a jump start in the beginning with your weight loss. Than when things finally slow down your fill will jump start it all again & thats when you will really feel impowered. Best of Luck to You & keep us in Touch- You need a little weight ticker at the bottom of your sig so we can all see your progress. Go to the search button & search weight ticker to learn how to do one. Good Luck.
