PS out of the country? Comparing costs/services



Recommended Posts

Hello-

I've lost 80 lbs with another 40 to go til goal. I'm saving up for all the plastic surgery I'm going to want/need, which will include a lower body lift, breast lift, and arm lift. I live just north of Seattle. My insurance will pay for a panniculectomy only, so most of the costs will be out of pocket. I'm considering getting this done out of the country to save on costs, but don't love the idea of flying soon after surgery. I'm considering Vancouver, BC because it is only a 2 hour drive away. Has anyone priced PS in Canada? I imagine the cost might be similar, but there may be savings with our favorable exchange rate. I'd love to hear of anyone who has had their PS in Canada, specifically about cost. Also, if anyone has had PS in Vancouver I'd love recommendations for a surgeon. It's close enough, and I head up there frequently enough anyway for weekend get-aways that getting consultations done there won't be problematic. Thanks in advance for your input!

Florida, Dominican Republic and Mexico are popular choices for high quality low cost plastics

I chose Florida because its still in the States

Good Luck💚

      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!!
