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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
