Are you talking about akin removal like a panniculectomy or the like? Those types of surgeries would be much less expensive. But those aren't cosmetic surgeries. They are considered medical necessities. Lower body lifts & augmentations include a lot of contouring and are much more intricate & invasive surgeries.

Yes I was talking about the loose skin surgery. It wasn't very much there.

To those who have had procedures in MX, did you go alone or did you have someone go with you? If you went alone, was this your first time traveling outside the US? Was you nervous to be in a foreign country alone and be put under the knife? How did you deal with the jitters?

Im in the process of scheduling for TJ for the end of Jan or first week of Feb. Dr Fuentes. I did picture consults with 3 dr in mexico, 2 in tj one in monterrey. I decided on TJ because it was close to the border and I can recover in San Diego after one night in the hospital but still be close enough to clinic for my post op drain removal etc. I was planning on my husband going but his work schedule is not accomadating, and I don't want to put it off because I want to be able to swim etc when it gets warm here....but I have to say I am extremely nervous and actually just a little scared to go alone. Anyone have any tips/advise? BTW, I am having TT, BL/BR, fat graft to buttocks, and inner thigh lift. Thanks!

I went alone and stayed at a recovery house. It was the best idea ever because the recovery house I stayed in is run by a doctor and has 24 hour nursing staff, cook and they do your laundry every day. You literally come with clothes on your back. It is the only licenced by health dept in TJ. Here is a link

Can you tell me the prices? Just curious.... Also, it looked like patients share rooms? The website does say that male patients have private rooms but does not mention anything else...

I had a friend go with me, which worked out great. She helped ne to go to the bathroom and reposititiion. I personally wouldn't go a lone. That's just me. I also went to a place in Mexico that was right across the border. My doctor spoke English but lots of the staff members either didn't or knew very little and i didn't know it at all. The lady that went with me had an app on her iphone for converting English to Spanish and visa versa that helped.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
