It is True... It is Necessary... It may not be Kind

There is a good chance Medical Tourism may be in my future for nips and tucks. I plan to reach out to my WLS for advisement but I plan to research on my own as well. I'm a bit of a planner so I'm researching now.

I came across a very alarming article from this past July about a facility that performs both WLS and plastic surgery.

Scary! I feel like I hear bad procedures all over the place, in the US and abroad. You are right to do your homework. Keep us posted on what you learn please.

Yes, keep us posted! I certainly trust you over any advertisement.

I'll let you be my Cordinator :D

I read that article a couple of weeks ago..

I can say one thing. As major as the sleeve surgery is, body lifts are all that more complicated and painful. I guess for me the take away would be no strip mall "hospitals".

But really if I were to have plastics I would not travel for them.

Some have been sleeves there?

Many people have VSG surgery at Jerusalem Hospital.

I get texts quite regularly offering me surgery at Jerusalem Hospital. Talk about aggressive advertising.

I did too. From "local" numbers. I finally told them I've been sleeved. They said to keep them in mind for plastics.

Yeah. Right.
