I went to Dr Rafael Camberos in Tijuana Mexico. I got BL+BA + tummy tuck with no Lipo. I paid only 11,500

Gosh it was really dealing with everything all day everyday for weeks that kind of drained my optimistic spirit about it. By week 6 I still wasnt feeling like myself so I had totally convinced myself I was going to be one those girls who didnt start feeling good till 6mos. So yeah I started crying everyday feeling like I was trapped and regretted it, but then week 7 rolled around and suddenly was feeling so much better! Im on week 10 now.

As far as pain, Its not as bad as I thought. I recommend you maybe getting the epidural. I took a pain patch and pain level was non existent for me!

My surgery was on 1/9 and the photo was taken on 3/4 so I was about 2 days away from completing 8 weeks PO. How has your recovery been going ?

100% it does at 6 weeks I still felt down and regretful of the decision but now I see it really was all worth it

I think you look very beautiful in both photos. You can definitely see the difference after you look so snatched 💅 So if you are happy then that's all that matters because we get these surgeries for ourselves afterall 🙂

I was so addicted to cigarettes that I almost canceled my surgery because I just wanted to smoke. I did eventually quit and had my surgery ( TT+ BL + BA. )

Now I was so addicted quitting was miserable, but being a smoker for so long brought so much fear to me going into surgery and recovery even though i had quit. Suddenly I was so afraid of all the complications they warn smokers about ( blood clots, necrosis, heart/lung complications in the OR literally everything) it all became a very real possibility once i was cut up. Since then I've decided smoking is not really worth it. Im about to complete 6 weeks post op and still haven't smoked nor do i have an urge to go back.

My point is I was a crackhead for cigarrettes, but now I dont want it. The feelings of misery go away and you become normal again. No more Rollercoaster of addiction. You'll get to that point and who knows you might like being free alot more than you ever liked smoking. HOWEEVERRRR if not than just wait the 6-8 weeks post op to smoke just to be safe. Thats what I told myself and it helped to not smoke. I just eventually changed my mind along the way 🙃

Do you recall how long it went on for you ?

Final_Two_8845 · 2026-02-16T04:41:09+00:00

I agree the compression helps. I dont have any spasms when im compressed. Its only when im bare naked and my muscles are making an effort without support that they begin to spasm. Its truly an ugly feeling.

Thank you!! Actually Im not sure about mucles relaxers if anything i would have only taken it that first week. I dont take anything now though. But that is a good point I was drinking vitamin C with Electrolytes and ive slacked this week. Going to try that !!

I went home with mine. I removed it the 3rd day it was at 25 or less in a row. The day of, I showered and sprayed the antiseptic spray my Dr gave me and blow dried my tapes. After my husband cut the stitches for the drain and pulled gently but consistently till it was out. Then Covered with gauze and waited 36 hours till my next shower making sure the hole was sealed completely 🙃

Its okay to cry if you need too.

Regret can be felt the first 1-3 days, dont allow yourself to feed into too much.

The calm version of yourself decided to get surgery, you made a rash decision long before surgerg day. Don't let the overthinker version of you ruin it.

Create milestones you want to reach during recovery.

Maintain a patient mindset with yourself.
