Has any one had cosmetic surgery in Mexico



Recommended Posts

I know there are people who have and had a great experience. I had mine in Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Saldona it was great, professional and no pain, I had breast lift and implants. I am thinking about TTuck with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey only because its way closer for me I am in north Texas. The lift and implants was nothing (and I was cut and sewn you would think that would hurt but no) the Lipo sucked it was painful I will not get lipo because of the pain yuck.

How much was the cost for the lift and implants? Does that include your flight and stay? How long was post op stay?

I went to Dr Victor Gutierrez in Tijuana. I had a lower body lift, breast and butt lift. He is great! You can look at his web site or call to get more information about him. My experience was outstanding! My cost did not include air fare. Post op, I stayed 7 days in the recovery clinic with 24 nurse care.

I am going to Dr Sauceda next week! More info to follow...

I think there are a number of good surgeons to choose from Mexico, Columbia, Costa Rico. I guess my final reason for choosing Dr S is that his patients really feel cared for by him and his staff. I value that highly. I will be down there for 12 days since i am doing several procedures at once.

In the USA, they were gonna send me home the same day as the surgery and i just never could get comfortable with that.

I totally understand about not being sent home the same day. That is crazy to me too! I totally agree with choosing a surgeon in a different country.

I know you are getting excited! Your surgery is only days away!!!! Please keep us updated. I am very excited for you!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
