So after reading so many great things about Dr Garcia here.. I decided to inquire about having surgery with him, with a lighter me. The co-ordinator told me that Dr Garcia has had some fatalaties the last few months!! And suggested another surgeon. Thoughts anyone??

Just loose all of it' date=' otherwise you will go on and in with surgeries. That was my

Mistake. There are lots of good surgeons in Mexico and Dominican and cuba[/quote']

Once I achieve, and maintain, my target weight for my height (5'9) I will take care of the nips, tucks, and lifts.

I'd like to be around 155 lbs. Maybe a little more. I'm okay with curves, just not rolls! Lol

Hopefully my WLS will go well in Mexico and then i can feel comfortable getting my nips, tucks, and lifts there too.

Amanda Rae

Ahhhh... can't wait until we can be nipped, tucked and lifted! And I'll be going to either Mexico or India when it's time for that!

I don't know anything about India but only domenican and Cuba and Mexico. Would be good to hear from those who went to india

I hear Costa Rica mentioned a lot for plastic surgery... No personal experience yet, but it come up.

I found this site. It seems to encompass *most* of the world. I think it will be a good starting point.

Since I have done lots of research, be aware when websites claim things. They have American Surgical Logo but let me assure you that American Surgeons association is not going to recommend out of country doctors. Also doctors pay for advertisement so there may be only drs they represent. Also I can guarantee that every country has a lot more doctors that are great and are not having their own website and I have personally met a few. Just info for you

Do you know of any well reviewed surgeons who offer a total body package? Thighs. Tummy. Lower body lift. Arms.

Amanda Rae

All well doctors do complete body makeover, some are better then others, some will do more in one setting then others. My doctor would only do lipo all over and tt in one setting then other surgeries in another setting. My local doctor would not even lipo more then one area where is Dr Cardenas did the whole bosy and removed 10 litres at once!!!

Excellent. It will be a long road. I gotta take the weight off and save the cash. I plan to start a "Nips, Tucks, and Lifts" savings once I'm postop from my sleeve.

Amanda Rae

Tt is about 4-5, breasts 3-5 just depends who does it. Enjoy your hi on weightoss then you can focus on

Plastics, can be addictive like tattoos lol
