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.

      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!!
