I had a Tummy Tuck with Lipo on 10/09/06 here in Tijuana with Dr. Romero. What a fantastic surgeon. I will go into depth a bit more once I am off of medication. The doc removed a bit over 4 kilos totaling 9lbs and 3lbs of fat sucked out. 12lbs total. I walk hunched over but I'm doing very well. Will report back with pictures.

I would love the Dr's details when you are up to it Telly. If you don't mind I'd like to know how much the TT cost as well. How long did you stay in the hospital in Mexico? Did you have to have those icky drains? Pain level compared to LB surgery? Travel home, painful?

Hey Beacheegirl,

The doctor's name is Dr. Romero of Tijuana cosmetics estheticos. I paid $3,800 for the total tummy tuck with lipo around the waistline. I stayed in the hospital one night and was discharged to my hotel room. Drains are required for all tummy tucks as we swell greatly due to the surgery, therefore if we didn't have drains, we could develop water pockets inside of us called seroma's *spelling* and can be very painful which will later require draining anyway.

Pain level is like a c-section. LB surgery is nothing comparatively. I will be traveling home en la manana and I will upgrade to 1st class due to the seat's in the economy class, they are too condensed. I need space and easy access to the bathroom. I hope I make it home ok.
