Leaving in a.m. for Monterey for cosmetic surgery..



Recommended Posts

Requesting prayers out there from anyone who believes in the power of prayer.

I am nervous about going back down. I did great with the band and I met Dr. Cardenas when I was down there before and really liked him and trust he is a qualified physician.

I am having upper and lower eyes done, endoscopic brow lift and ears pinned back. I guess I am nervous about being sedated.

Does anyone have any experience or advice for me here at the last minute. My 21 year old daughter keeps telling me that I will not be sorry.

I am planning on going back for a tt when I reach goal.

Thanks for the prayer!

Wow! Prayers for a speedy recovery. I think you will not be sorry. You should post before and after pics, and make sure you take good before pics...that's something to do before you go...

Good luck and please post and let us know how it went. I have never had any thing like that done, so no advice here but sending my prayers to you!

Hi Alice

I just got back from Monterrey Mx. While I was there, a room mate (Lynn) at Dr. Sanchez's guesthouse went for a consultation with Dr. Cardenas. She said while at her consultation the camera crew from extreme make-over was there. He's very impressive and his prices are nice. I'm thinking of having him do some work as well.

I've heard that Dr. Cardenas shares the guest house with Dr. Sanchez. If so you'll have a pleasant stay.

I'm so happy for you!

yes, Dr. Cardenas shares a guest house with Dr. Sanchez. I am just nervous about being sedated for several hours. It is all MY anxiety for sure! I will post some photos at some point.

I'd rather be sadated than awake like I was for my leak repair.

You'll be just fine, relax.

Do take photos!!!

Prayers are coming your way...

I had my upper eyes done and could not be any happier! I will do them again probably in 15- 20 years . I am so pleased & think you will be too. I will also pray for your surgeons. Please let us know- & be patient while you heal- the hardest part for me was sleeping up-right but you get used to it.

good luck

Wow, I wish I was at my goal weight so that I too can go get myself beautified. I am planning on having a Tummy Tuck and a body liposculpture. I'm going to look beautiful. Can't wait. Well good luck and don't worry all of us will keep you in our prayers.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
