fingers crossed for you

I found out yesterday afternoon that my surgeon had an unexpected cancellation which NEVER happens .
I was four days after my first procedure ( this morning I'm five days post so safely past the danger stage, the intense healing stage - just a little swollen and bruised looking still but pain free and comfortable walking and exercising.

I texted my surgeon on his one day off proposing another surgery and am excitedly waiting to see him this morning not having eaten or drank since last nite in case his operating room and staff can be arranged for this afternoon.

Im REALLY hoping!!!

What we discussed flying back to do next time was a mini upper body lift essentially with a boob lift using my own breast tissue.

I'm an apple shape which means chicken legs and ample excess skin not just through the abdomen and arms but also on the back , bra overhang underarm area and love handles .

Kind of tough to deal with - and all these empty fat cells not only jiggle unattractively but put out hunger causing estrogen hormone and fill up at a moments notice causing endless struggles with regain.

I'm REALLY excited to POSSIBLY not have to wait at least half a year ( more likely a year ) to get this done and if he agrees well I can postpone my plane ticket because I was cautious and purchased insurance

My cats and plants are getting taken care of ... I'll be a few days late starting full time school but that's ok and worth it and I'm just going to pray from now till ten when he comes that he might possibly agree....

Dr. Sauceda definitely IS operating in Monterrey Mexico and is fantastic as always

. He did a LBL on me about seven years ago after I'd successfully kept my weight off about four years and it still looks great .

I had similar issues to yours - lax skin in the thighs some jiggly fat in the knees ... " foof" in the abdomen and love handles ... which were addressed with liposuction and an inner thigh lift and bellybutton repositioning . Though I still need upper body work the results were and remain beautiful. Good luck choosing your surgeon ! ((()))

Hi I see you are in my area MV and wanted to hop in and say while I have not had any reconstructive surgery done I am also looking into it. I am planning on attending the conference in costa mesa this year and was told they do free consultations with a plastic surgeon this might help you to get an idea of cost. I am hoping that is the case for me as I will have to pay for it all out of pocket myself. Best of luck to you.

belt lipectomy is the same as a lower body lift.

also, most people have 5 lbs or less of excess skin - it weighs a lot less than you'd think. I lost over 200 lbs and I think my excess skin weighed around 4 lbs.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Soberanes, but check reviews. A lot of weight loss surgery patients have gone to Dr. Laura Carmina Cardenas in Tijuana. She specializes in plastic surgery for massive weight loss patients and also is a bariatric patient herself! Dr. Francisco Sauceda in Monterrey is also very familiar to those of us on OH - not sure if he's still in practice or not though. He also specializes in plastic surgery for massive weight loss patients.
