Anyone Recieved Plastic Surgery In Mexico?



Recommended Posts

How does everyone afford these surgeries? Seriously, I'd like to know because I'm sure I'll have to have something done eventually. Best of luck to all!

I am using my flex spending for $5K of it. I got an intrest free credit card for the other $5K. It is intrest free until the end of 2013...

I didn't think you could use Flex Spending account monies for cosmetic surgery, I was under the impression that tax free money could only be used for what they deem as "medically necessary" procedures. If I'm wrong, or if you have found a way to get around that, please let me know. Maybe it's just my employer's policy that is like that.

I am able to use mine for the Tummy Tuck part. I have been getting skin infections and insurance will not cover it. I fought them and got denied twice.

I hope you are using your $5000 flex spending for this year - because due to ObamaCare - we can only put in $2,500 for flex spending next year.....which sucks. I was hoping to have the $5000 for 2014 to get the breast aug. Now I guess I'll just have to start a little 'booby bank' and save up for it. Since I just had my sleeve 4 weeks ago - I figured I'd give my weight loss a year before I do the plastics....goodness hope I can lose the 60 pds in a year!!

I'm getting sleeved in Mx in March. If the experience is good I will more than likely revisit Mx for the nips and tucks.

It varies from patient to patient and if you go second time' date=' she discounts it. I think its about 5000 for tt and Lipo and bbl. I have a cute bootie now <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />. Her email is carminacardenas@gmail.com.

Well Dr. Bello is Mexicali is wonderful!! I could not of had better care and already love my results! I know it will take a while for the final outcome but so pleased already. Never met a better more caring doctor ever! He did Lift w/ augmentation and Tummy Tuck with Lipo. I am still in the hospital and will head home on Tuesday.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
