Skin removal surgery in 45 days!
I reached goal weight of 100lbs back in September. I am 4ft7in and lost half of my body weight from my highest weight recorded. even though my numbers aren't high I was a bmi of 43 because im so short. dont worry I am not too skinny, as you can see from the pictures.
I felt gross and disgusting. I wasnt prepared mentally for that. I thought losing weight would fix all of my problems.
I felt discouraged that I was finally able to get to a healthy weight the first time in my life and I dont feel great about myself. I decided pretty quickly I needed to look into skin removal surgery.
I checked locally first. I called a dr in vegas, 55k for what I need and thats not even for everything I need. I got defeated as I would never spend that kind of money on myself, plus it would take years to save. then I heard about mexico and turkey. I live a few hours from the Mexico border so I thought that might be a good option. there was only one dr I felt confident in there and she was 18k for what I needed. much better than vegas!
then I started looking at Miami. I got a bunch of quotes mostly around 13k , but they send you home/hotel same day as surgery and its done in a clinic and not a hospital. seemed to sketchy to me.
then I found Turkey 🇹🇷. there were several drs that came highly recommend and there were group chats available with their patients. I got quotes from 6k to 13k. after talking to countless women and looking at thousands of pictures I decided on my dr.
360tt possible FDL, 360 lipo, breast lift no implants and arm lift, $8,000. includes dr and hospital fees, 3 nights in hospital, 4 nights hotel apartment stay with nurse visits daily. compression garments, one lymphatic message. all meals in hospital and breakfast at hotel. all transportation and follow up appointments. medical travel insurance. I just pay for flight. I am choosing to stay almost 3 weeks to heal as much as possible. I have also planned for 10 hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions , beauty treatments, shopping, almost 2 weeks of extra hotels, food, activity money, more lymphatic massages, and with everything accounted for im budgeted for 15k total. but i probably wont spend as much as I allotted.
feel free to ask any questions
