I just got a date of September 28th! They bumped me up from Oct 7 due to a cancellation. I'll take it!!! I'm in Illinois.

Hi there. I am in the process of revising from sleeve to bypass. I had lost 100lbs in the first year of the sleeve which was great but then immediately gained it all back. I'm now, right back where I started. Due to my insurance I have to do 6mo physician supervised weight loss attempt. 4mos left to go. I'm hoping I'll be able to revise in July.

I'm planning on Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey in January Will be getting a LBL, AL, and BL/BA!

I'm looking at getting a lower body lift, breast lift w/ augmentation, and arm lift and I'm getting quotes for around $13,000 for it all. That includes compression garments, anesthesia, all fees and with some drs that includes the hotel. Basically all left I'd have to pay is for food, airfare (which one dr will refund up to $600 of), possibly hotel, and tipping. Not bad considering I was looking for the same surgeries here in the states and was quoted $23,000 and they'd only keep me overnight 1 night. Insurance will not cover a surgery if you go to Mexico for it. My insurance says they pay for "medically necessary cosmetic procedures" but it's impossible to jump through all their hoops to qualify...

Ok great thanks! I'm heavily leaning towards Sauceda

For those who traveled to Mexico for plastics, did you buy your airfare round trip or do one way till you knew later on exactly how long you'd need to stay there?

A good thing or not? Have a change of heart?

From what I've been told they go into San Diego. I too am looking at plastics in MX. Who are you thinking of using?

Thanks CJ! You have been very helpful!

Thanks for all the information!Once you moved to the hotel did they still check in on you frequently? I'm worried if I go alone I may be forgotten in the hotel and there won't be anyone to help me use the restroom or something. What did you eat once you went to the hotel?

So did you stay in the recovery house then for your first surgeries? I'm thinking if I go alone I may stay there.

I'm thinking I may travel alone too. Will you be staying in the hotel then? In just worried about being alone and needing to use the restroom or something and nobody being there to help.

I am going back and forth between Dr. Gutierrez and Dr. Sauceda. Did any of you go alone and stay in the hotel or at the recovery house? Also how long did you stay?

Congrats! I'm also considering Dr Sauceda. Are you traveling there alone or is someone going with you?

I'm thinking of going to Dr. Sauceda for my plastics and was wondering how long you stayed in MX for your procedures and where you stayed? Also, did you go alone or did you have someone come with you?
