?US or abroad and what doctor?



Recommended Posts

what country will have your cosmetic surgery? do you already know what doctor?

I will have it in the US if the price is reasonable, and I do know of a good PS here in Las Vegas. If I can't afford it here, will go to Mexicali and have it done by the PS there. However, that is a long way off for me I think.

i had some work done before i had my sleeve rhinoplasty, blephplasty, and some lipo., And i went to argentina to get it done. at the time i went through a company called plentas (they changed their name to worthy med now) and they charged me an arm and a leg. But a couple weeks ago i tracked down the doctor who did my surgery last year and pay through him with no middle man and it was MUCH MUCH MUCH less. so i'm gonna wait till i get to or near my goal weight and i'm going back to argentina for a Tummy Tuck and thigh lift. But you might wanna consider the plane ticket from ny/nj is about $1000 and you have to find your own place to stay for 2-4weeks and then price of food. So all of that adds up but i think it's still a decent price for going to a place that know more what they're doing (next to brazil, argentina is the second biggest cosmetic surgery capital of the world) and a place that i'm familiar with and a doctor i'm familiar with. To tell you the truth idk if i am interested in ever going back to mexico for surgery again. The only other places iwould consider is India, Asia, brazil.

I had a major breast reduction and Lipo to waist, abs, sides of breasts, inner and outer thighs, inner knees in Costa Rica with the Rosenstock Group. I paid $7000 for all of it and got world-class care.

I had a consul after losing all my weight with lapband and I was quoted $8500 for body lift, boob lift and implants by Dr campos -leon Tj mexico.

I have had numerous friends use him. Great care.

I had a Tummy Tuck at UCLA and received great care. They are expensive though. Even though I had a really good experience in Mexico, I just don't know that I would want to go back for surgery again. It just was stressfull to me being that far away from home. It was mentally taxing. The only thing I could see myself wanting after surgery is some boobs if mine end up like flap jacks and I am pretty certain they just might.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
