How about DONATING them?

I cannot believe how much US docs charge for plastics! What she has quoted you on is nothing more than what my surgeon in Mexico calls the Mommy Makeover...which he charges not quite $8,000 for which includes EVERYTHING except airfare. But, I understand not everyone wants to go to Mexico which I a shame as my surgeon is excellent. Just think, 22,000 minus 8,000 is 14,000. That's a LOT of money to have left over for new clothes.

You can only bee under anesthesia for so long. PS puts a BIG stress on your body. But, the breasts, whether it is a reduction with lift or aug with lift and a tummy tuck can be done at the same time...normally. Dr Niebles will only do 2 procedures at one time. The MMO (which is the breasts and tummy) is at LEAST 8 to 12 hours.

I had the saline inserted just under the breast in the crease and the gels through the nipple (as I had a mini lift, too. I preferred my saline with their placement much more than these gel through the nipple! My saline looked and felt much more natural to thee touch!!! Both my daughters each got implants last year. One got saline and one got gel. Both UNDER the muscle as that is how 90% are placed. Each have had no issues and like the choice they made. But, as far as healing..no difference. How did the healing compare?

I have had both sets of implants (first saline, now gel) under the muscle and I have never "felt" my implants. SO...I don't know what your doc is talking about!!

Once you reach your goal weight, you can have any plastics. Until then, it would be a waste.

Yes...My Life In Pink used my PS, Dr Hugo Niebles. He has done all my plastics, as well...breasts, tummy, arms and full face. LOVE IT ALL! Email me I you want pics... Chrristy_BeautfyMe@hotmail.com I Arranged for MyLifeInPink to have her MMO with Dr Niebles and still coordinate for him.

Here is another from a different angle...(before and after). Dr Niebles n TJ Mexico

Here is one of my arm lift scars. Because of placement, nobody can really see them unless I left my arm and show them.

How long after what?

Hi, Everyone and HAPPY SUNDAY!!! I just started a MeetUp Group (some of you may know of the MeetUp Groups nationwide). Anyway, there are no MeetUp goups in my area that deal with WLS. There are FORMAL hospital based groups but they are kind of B O R I N G, so I decided to start a MeetUp here in Richmond, VA BUT you don't have to be from Richmond...ALL are welcome!!! These will be fun, informal get togethers for Pre and Post Op WLS patients of all types of bariatric surgery. Hope a few of you can make a get together!! Here is the link... http://www.meetup.com/WEIGHT-LOSS-SURGERY-GET-TOGETHERS-FOR-THE-LIGHT-AT-HEART/events/141587662/?a=ea1_grp&rv=ea1&_af_eid=141587662&_af=event Hope to see some of you here in Richmond at one of the MeetUps!!!

My doc's Mommy Makeover (in TJ) is about $7800 - $8800. I've had tt, breasts, arms, full neck and face there...NOT all at once!! I had my sleeve there, too.

(Sorry....I don't know w hy they required me to post this twice...I hope the link works! If not, just go to meetup.com and search for WLS in Richmond!!!! THANKS!

I am surprised as I was encourage to walk standing straight up at all times. It may differ if you had the circular belt?

YIKES! I am embarrassed by my BEFORE picture...but without posting it you could not see the awesome results I have gotten over the last 9 months. Every month since surgery, my face has gotten better and better. I was told real FINAL results will take a year.

(A PS here in Richmond wanted that much JUST for my lower face....Dr N did neck, upper and lower face, eyes and forehead.)

Hang in there, girlie! I a nine months out and my left ear is still somewhat numb! It takes time...Dr N told me up to one year for all nerves to get back to normal. I had to sleep with one of those travel neck pillows just up until last month...putting my ear in the hole portion when I slept on my side. It was a life saver!

THe costs vary depending on exactly what you want...you really shouldn't have the face without then neck...but of course, it is always up to you. But, that said...between $6500-7500, I guess. You would have to send pictures and let Dr Niebles know exactly what you want after he makes a recommendation,

Dr Hugo Niebles in TJ, Mexico. About $7500

Dr Hugo Niebles in TJ has done all my plastics.

Everyone above has given such great advice! And, mostly about how people at a gym really are not paying attention to the other people there. Maybe if someone is staring at you...say, "Hey...am I doing this correctly? I will take your free advice!" You may end up with a new friend...if not...well...there are plenty of others! I think the CURVES is a great idea, too, if you have one...just for a few months.

TThey dont care one thing about a UTILITY BILL. lol. You can have a "copy" of a birth certificate but it has to be a CERTIFIED copy-not a Xerox copy of the original- which has to bee obtained from the city where you were born. NOT a Notorized copy...that can only happen if you have the original, anyway, so why would you need it, right? But, who knows...you might get home with the COPY ...

Because the US Border Patrol make you feel like you are doing something wrong...they are buttheads or at least act like buttheads. Going into Mexico, they are just like normal guys. You wil always be with a driver. The border guards are so use to the medical tourists coming and going. And, like the poster above stated, just be as guarded as you are in the states and dont go out by yourself.

I used Dr Niebles for TT, ARM, BREASTS and Full Face. Email if you would like to see pics and/or get more info.
