I used Dra. Laura Carmina Cardenas of Beauty Enhance. I had a great experience with her. She treated me exceptionally well, visited me every day in the recovery house for the two full weeks I was there, and provided great follow-up care via email and phone.

I had amazing results and a good experience with Dr Sauceda. He is the type to under promise and over deliver. The photos on his website aren't all that "wow" but real patients are posting pictures on Facebook and his obesity help forum that convinced me. I highly recommend him for a variety of reasons but probably the #1 is that he is absolutely passionate about changing the lives of the people that go to him.

I have gone to two different Plastic Surgeons in Tijuana Mexico, and although the first one had a beautiful state of the arch Facility, cosmed, my results were not all that wonderful.

My second plastic surgery, was with Dr. Victor Gutierrez, as listed my another poster. And I am in full agreement with her assessment of the surgeon. He is a wonderfully gifted surgeon.

Dr. Salvador Medina Sanchez Aka Dr. Medina at Trinity Medical Bariatrics in Tijuana, Mexico did my 360 lower body lift in March 2015. He speaks fluent English, as does his staff. My results are amazing and I had no complications. I am so very happy I found him. In June he will do a breast lift and arm lift. I have full faith in his abilities. Also, he serves as Chief of Plastic Surgery at Tijuana Angeles Hospital. Highly recommend!

So far I have used two one in Tijuana, Dr Salas, my scar is not well done at all and I had no after care, would not recommend.

Second I used Dr Sauceda, very young and pleasant, however I think he does under promise and this ends up as under delivering. I now need a revision because he did not remove enough skin and more skin needs removal for a tighter look.

Also his scars are a cross stitch type so you have a straight scar and crosses over it; not the nicest.

Hi Amazon,

I had a consult with Dr. Sauceda a few weeks ago. I found him to be very pleasant, but was extremely surprised that he seemed unfamiliar with Von Willebrands... even the recommended treatment during surgery. In comparison, I had a totally unplanned phone consult with Dr. Carmena Cardenas last Saturday and she was well versed and familiar with the treatments. Additionally, he made it a point to tell me how African American skin keloids, has poor scar healing, etc. Kind of like he was setting me up for disappointment.... :unsure:

I was very fortunate to have a excellent plastic surgeon. My skin healed beautifully because of the expert internal sutures.

Alex, any timeframe on whether BariatricPal will partner with plastic surgeons in Mexico? I'll be needing plastics next summer.

@@tspinks06 Have you looked at Dra. Carmina Cardenas yet? She was my surgeon almost 5 years ago for TT and breast lift with augmentation and I'm going back to her in September for a spiral thigh lift. She is now affiliated with BariatricPal, so you may be able to get a special package through the BP coordinators.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
