Once you hit your goal weights is anyone going back to Mexico for nips and tucks? Has anyone already "been there, done that"?

Good question, if I need them I for sure would do them in Mexico instead of in the US, but who is on the best list for these types of surgery in Mexico and what are the prices?

I went to Dr Carmina Cardenas in TJ Mexico and stayed at her recovery house after surgery. Fully licenced and qualified nursing care. The recovery house has raised toilets, chairs in showers, nurses assist in showering, laundry every day, hospital beds. You basically come with a clothes on your back and thats all. Her email is carminacardenas@gmail.com. You send her pictures without a face, front, back and sides and tell her what you want and she will tell you if its doable. Aslo she had VS and TT herself.

Not all at once, 4 stages. Recovery is tough first surgery then its easier cause you know what to expect. You can also do things to make your recovery easier.

How much was the arm lift (if you don't mind answering)? I really want this now! Haha I can wait for a year or so for everything else but I want some tank top arms!

Arm lift on its own is 2500. I did mine with a scar in the arm pit. Dr looks at your arms and can tell you if arm pit scar will get the results you want or you may need a vertical scar

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
