Hi! My recovery was rough, but my results are spectacular. My body looks slim, but curvaceous I'm headed down for my breast lift next month. Dr. Cardenas recommended that I get the tummy tuck first. The Beauty Enhance recovery house is amazing. I'm not sure who the other surgeon you are considering is.

You look great! How difficult was the recovery? I just had a few of the procedures you had and can't imagine having all of it at once. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! Since this last post, I actually had surgery with Dr. Cardenas. I'm three weeks out from a tummy tuck, lower body lift, and fat transfer. I'm having a very minor issue with my incision, but overall, am incredibly happy with Dr. Cardenas' skills and the care I received at her recovery house. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Hello Everyone! I was sleeved at the Obesity Control Center in Tijuana and had a fabulous experience. I'm wondering if any of you have any feedback about the plastics at OCC? I just can't find any information, which makes me nervous. I also have consultations with Dr. Campos and Dr. Cardenas if you have any feedback on those two.

I'm still in the soft food phase, so we've grilled a few salmon filets and they've been amazing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Realistically, with such a low starting weight, OP will need to go to Mexico and self pay, where an introductory lecture won't be an option. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm only 17 days out. I started out around 200, and weighed 195 on the day of surgery. I weigh 177 today. I'm so grateful to have had this surgery and I haven't had one second of regret. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't know anything about plication, but I had a sleeve done at OCC a few weeks ago and had a fantastic experience. I second everything that BShelmet had to say. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went back to work at six days post op. I traveled from Mexico to Alaska on days three and four. I would have loved some more time off, but I've managed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I only took a week off from work, and that included some long haul travel. I wish I could have taken an additional week off, but I've been fine at work. My pain has fluctuated from a 1.5 to a 3. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! This is my first post, but I've been lurking for awhile. I had my sleeve done two weeks ago in TJ. I'm also 5'8, and my BMI was 31 at the start of the post op diet, and 29 the day of surgery. I had an incredible experience and was thrilled with the care I received at OCC. I'm still recovering, but I'm down 20 lbs total and I'm not having any issues drinking enough Water or getting enough Protein in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
