Not sure if you're looking to go out of the country but what I did was first went to a Plastic surgeon in my city for a $40.00 consultation and quote to see if I needed to lose more weight first and if I was a good candidate for the surgery. They printed out the quote (OUCH!) and instructions on what to expect. This made me feel more comfortable about doing the surgery and then we have a FB group that the patients have started online that have had surgery with Dr. Cervantes.

The Dr chose that but I'm happy with it. My incisions are looking fantastic!!!

I had my sleeve done in Mexico so I reached to plastic surgeon My VSG Surgeon recommended. My insurance won't cover plastics so it's out of pocket. I went to ps In my area for quote and to see if ready and they confirmed I was ready and another 25lb loss wouldn't matter. So my quote was $8900.00 in US. So far it's been an easy mostly pain free surgery . I love my arms now!!!

3200.00 after negotiating hospital & price

About 2 1/2 hrs and recovery has been great. I'm on pain meds for 7 days. Taking tramadol & adopren. Nothing that is making me drowsy. And yes he is very cute and very caring so happy I took this leap of faith!

Hubby had VSG surgery with Dr. Illan on 9/2/14 in Mexico while I had the arm lift on 9/1/14. Both of us are doing amazing.

Was sleeved 8/31/13 by dr. Illan and have lost 150 lbs!!!!! Can this really be true.....love everything about my journey. In Tijuana now and had arm lift and hubby was sleeved by Dr. Illan 9/2/14 . Great care wonderful outcome thus far!
