About to head to TJ for TT, BR/Bl, Lipo

My plane leaves for san diego in a couple hours. I am having a TT, Lipo to abdomen and back, BL/BR, and possibly fat grafting to the buttocks (thinking of backing out of the fat grafting for now) just now sure how Im going to sit or lay on my behind to recover from TT and BL/BR with having my rear end injected with fat!

Anyway I am using Dr Fuentes in Tijuana, Mexico, and his office will pick me up at the san diego airport and we will go to his office to get my markups done today. My surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30. I will stay the night in his postsurgical recovery, and be released Friday if all goes well. I will try to have my brother that is traveling with me post updates after the surgery. We are then staying in Rosarito Beach in a condo for 8 more days, I did not want to travel to soon after surgery so just decided to stay and rest/recuperate in the beachside condo for as long as I could be away from home!

Please wish me luck, and keep me in your prayers for an uneventful surgery, great outcome, and safety for me and my traveling companions!

BTW- I am soooo excited and utterly a nervous wreck at the same time! i haven't been out of the country in over 5 years! And surely not for a medical procedure! But I GOT THIS! LOL

Sorry that posted 50 times. Not sure why and its not letting me delete.

Just wondering, since it's been awhile how you feel about your results and if you would recommend this dr. I'm doing research for mine and it's a daunting task. I'm also curious about the cost. Thanks.

I'm so Happy for you and I know you going to Rock that new flat tummy this Summer..I'm starting with my boobs first Breast Augumentation June 4th woohoo can't wait lol

Breast lift/breast reduction. :) My results have been fabulous! I will be going back in the fall to Dr Fuentes to have my thighs done, they are a saggy mess still. If I remember correctly my cost was around 7000 for everything but you will have to email him pics to get a quote. both him and his staff could not have been better, the nicest people ever and his facility was super clean modern and new. You will love him!

Reading through this thread, it was difficult to tell how long you stayed to recoup. How long did you stay and where? I saw it was on Rosario Beach. Was this a special recoup facility? I'm asking because I may plan to have a TT and BL this summer. Still researching doctors. But I really would like to stay until drains are out. I'm a teacher and will be off work during the summer so I could take the time to stay. Really, I guess it would depend on how much it would cost to stay there 3 weeks or more. Any info you could provide would be most appreciated. :)
