I go where the best and most experienced surgeons are... And that means I trust my MX dr over many in the states. But I never say to anyone that I would not go to a specific place because of hear-say. That's a bit naive.

Mexico is something I don't want. I want something in my own state and in my town if I can where my family can be by my side. I don't want to take a plane anywhere and I've had friends get breast implants in Mexico and didn't like it. Ill pay more to stay put.

I went to Mexico and had the gastric sleeve done my doctor worked for the San Diego hospital but also was a surgeon at the hospital Angeles. My surgery was on October 12, 2012 And i have lost year to date is 104 pounds. I had no insurance so I paid cash and I thank my dr on a weekly basis for what he has done to improve my health. Dr huacuz is amazing.

I just scheduled my breast lift/reduction for July 1st (woo hoo!). I am using a local plastic surgeon (I live in the Seattle area). It will cost $6,250. I also got quotes for a neck lift and Tummy Tuck and those procedures each run between $6K and $6.5K. I am planning to do two surgeries this year (breast lift/reduction and then at the holidays a lower body lift); next year I'm going for a neck lift and the arms. Altogether I figure I'm going to pay enough on plastics buy a car! LOL.

I'm seriously thinking of going to Mexico for at least one of the procedures ... I had my sleeve done in Mexico and know I can receive outstanding care there, with the right surgeon, and it's true you can save at least 30% compared to US prices.

I just got a quote from a plastic surgeon that my VSG surgeon recommended. Basically the quote was $10K for the breast lift and about $12K for the Tummy Tuck.< /p>

Are you able to share some good plastic surgeons in the Seattle area? I do not have much to do. If anything a TT, but I want to get a consult to see if it is even necessary or if it will just go away with enough core strength training.

Hi, I am using Dr. Kierney who is based in Puyallup (near Tacoma, in case you're on the north end of Seattle and not sure where Puyallup is!). Here is a link to his website. http://washingtoncosmeticsurgeon.com/

I found him through Angie's List (he was very highly rated) and I liked the consult he gave; he made me feel at ease (trust me, NOT easy to do when you have to take off nearly all your clothes in front of a total stranger!). I thought his prices were reasonable. I got to see lots of before and after photos of procedures he's done and am comfortable he will do good work on me. He spent a good hour with me and told me exactly what the risks/benefits/likely outcomes would be. Also, he was very very low pressure. I liked that a lot.

Thanks for the information. Appreciate it! I am on the North side of Seattle in Lake Stevens / Everett area, but am open to anything down to Tacoma. What would dr kier et charge for a Tummy Tuck. My extra tummy is pretty small, but still noticeable. It would be a perfect package if I did not have the little lip below my stomach, that it was perfectly smooth.

I also am looking at Dr Robert Grenley with Seattle Plastic Surgery based on a google search:

http://www.seattleplasticsurgery.com/

I have NO IDEA how to find a qualified doctor for TT short of going on the recommendations of others. I originally picked Seattle Swedish for VSG based on a recommendation from a family member who was banded by them. They have been nothing short of a really excellent experience from pre op through current post op.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery

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?

      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! 😞
