I am sorry I forgot to say about pain. Pain is torelable with medication for first 3 days then each day gets better. In TJ they are very agressive with lipo so results are awesome.

I think with a tt you need at least 10 days.

Anyone needs any guidance in healing please ask away. I have been through it all

I had my first surgery here in Canada and hated my results and it was expensive, each lipo area 3000, I had tt and lipo to flanks. I went to Dr Cardenas in Mexico 4 years later and for 3500 I had lipo 10 litres of fat, had my scar lowered, dog ears removed and bbl. She lipoed my arms, thighs, all of my back and my front. My MR was not done properly first time around. I went back this march and had completely redone my tt, thigh lift and arm lift, back skin removed for 6000.00. I am very pleased. My breasts were large and that I had done locally and it was covered. My first recovery in TJ was one week, second one was 2 weeks, I stayed at their recovery house at additional cost. My hubby did not want me to be home to recover because they took very good care of me there. 24 hour nursing, all meals prepared, healthy, tv, phone, hospital beds, laundry and sheets done every day, dr visit every day. I would not have it any other way.

It varies from patient to patient and if you go second time, she discounts it. I think its about $5000 for tt and lipo and bbl. I have a cute bootie now . Her email is carminacardenas@gmail.com. She is getting busy as she is becoming popular.

Skyjack how much have you lost? I am so glad you chose sleeve vs lapband. I paid 15000 for mine and going back for sleeve in Mexico with Dr Fillipe. I started at 195 and am now 168.

I had my surgery in Tijuana with Dr Cardenas. I had tt, thigh lift, lipo and bbl, and mini arm lift...love my results. going back for face lift

I had lapband in Canada and a tummy tuck as well. Four years later I went to Mexico to have tummy tuck, thigh lift and arm lift. If I knew then what I know now, I would have my lapband and plastic surgery in Mexico. Prices are much cheaper even with travel and recovery house and results are much better. Their muscle repair and lipo is more aggressive and they will do more then one area for better price. I am so thrilled, after 30 years I feel better then I did when I was 18!!!

Hi Rhonda, I have a group in London we meet every 4th Thursday of the month and there are few of us we meet here and there for dinner. We also have facebook page. please look me up Alla Landa and I will ad you.

Privet, I am russian too. Yes you are right, I got tt then lapband.

I am 5'1 and was 193 when I had my TT so I disagree about ps and ideal weight.

Hi there, I was just reading about your issue and its May 8, did you get your test results back?

I also hear that it depends on the band and its success. We at SWLC have an Allegran brand which a lot more successful and common. The band does work to various degrees and depends what you do with it.

Hi Gloria, Alla here. Someone I know actually had a band erode inside. Its too bad your surgical centre did not provide positive follow up. It also depends how they put it in as well. Your dr is not certified bariatric surgeon as both drs are in SWLC.

The band is not for eveyone. For those who it worked, followed the rules, unless your body rejects it. The band is just a tool, you still have to do the work!!!

I am sooo confused not sure if I answered this or not. please feel free to email me at allalanda5@hotmail.com

no idea about the second question. first one, there was a dr there who left and does not deal with patients he did surgery on but new one does. just find out if he leaves if after care or surgery that may need to be redone will be covered

Lorraine, in our group we have a patient of that clinic. Why did you choose that clinic?

Thats the guy, geremy on you tube. His was same issue and then one day he was very ill and was admitted to hospital and they had to reconstruct his stomach. Watch his video.

A man who had a brown liquid from his port had port replaced but after a month had bigger complications. He is on you tube thegerm1.
