Yes...isn't that wonderful. I cried today with my hubby cause I am so happy. I never thought I cold ever afford this. Out here in Cali, the prices are simply outrageous. They want 20, 000 for everything I want. and with costa rica, I get a great posh facility with nurses and someone to cook and help me. Yeah, at hoem I would have gotton that for a few days and then life begins again...hubby, kids and life. There in Costa Rica, I can heal without worries, I may be in discomfort, but I will be ok. NOW I need a person to travel with.  I don't know many people that can leave for two weeks at a time, but I am taking off work and using my vacation plus sick time. I am so pumped up.....

I am so happy that I came across this thread. I was just speaking to my BF about wanting cosmetic surgery. I will say that I was blessed with some GREAT genetics when it comes to my stomach. My stomach is flat no stretch marks on it just a tiny bit of fat that sits above the muscle that I need to get lipo on.
BUT.........................
Prior to having my last daughter I weighed 145lbs, well during my pregnancy I got up to 219. Lost all the weight afterwards but now my breast sag like I have been carrying water jugs with them. I HATE it. Also I my butt has gotten all flabby, saggy, dimply and has dropped a good 2-4 inches. I am not good with being consistent with my work out ( i Know that is bad) but I want to fix these things. My thighs are all nasty and filled with cellulite. I absolutely hate it. I want surgery. I was looking into the Brazilian butt lift , breast lift and lipo for stomach and  my thighs.
I am just happy to be able to express this with other people. Reason being is because people that are close to me think I am INSANE because I am not what most would consider big and with my clothes on I look pretty good. But I tell them it's not about how they think I look but how I feel I look. I don't like it and want to fix it.

Continue to do your research, I am very happy and excited for you. Please continue to keep us posted.

Also if there is someone that would recommend different Dr's in the USA for me to get Breast lift, lipo, BBL then please let me know so I can start researching them over the next several months.

 Meechie2cute, I went to a consultation two weeks ago to look into getting a tummy tuck and the surgeon advised me I would need a tummy tuck, lipo suction on each hip to sculpture my body and slight lipo on my back, altogether he quoted me $9300 with only a 24 hour overnight stay.

one more thing I went to the dermatologist yesterday and he told me that I am a good candidate for laser stretch mark removal & I wonder if you ladies have any info on that. He also gave me a few prescriptions  for my other skin issues like acne and dark ankles, knees, and elbows. I could share that info too if yall are interested.

Hi Relentless,

 
Please share all information. As you can see I have. I want to share this information with everyone. Most people will just read and go on but some people will continue the research and find out what is best for them. I have decided on a sound month which is toward the end of September 2008. Anyone else?
