Excess skin removal in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hello out there,

I am almost 2 years post op. I went from 297 down to 217, however, it seams like I have stated to gain some weight back, yet I have all this excess skin.

Is there anyone out there with a doctor recommendation to do body improvements?

It has been over a year since I have been on here.

I look a whole lot better, but the excess skin is driving me nuts and I want to get it removed at this point.

I can't personally recommend him, as I haven't used him or any other plastic surgeon, but I know that many wls patients go to Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey. I've been researching options and if I go to Mexico, so far, he's my top choice. If you Google him you can get more info, including a gallery of his work and a price list. There is also a message board just for his patients (and potential patients) and a Facebook group.

I went to Dr Sauceda and had great results. He will do skin removal on people who have bmi that puts them overweight still (not everyone gets down to the bmi of 25 or less!) And some surgeons won't. Google his name and his patient forum on OH should come up.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
