    selfpay Help!

    I used A lighter me. They have over 10 years experience. No pressure. In fact, a lot of these other companies are started with people that worked for A lighter me.... I went to PV Mexico last year, and I paid $4500 for the surgery, an extra $500 for hernia repair and an extra $500 to go to PV. The BEST medical care I've ever received, I high recommend going and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I've even had a family member go to TJ and she said that she was pleasantly surprised by the medical care she received.

    New guy with questions

    You'll do great!! It's the best decision I've ever made for myself. Do what your doctor tells you. Don't worry when you're in a stall, it's normal and it WILL happen. Make sure you take Chapstick with you to the hospital.
  3. I talk about my fear of sending my naked pics in my last update on Youtube!! I actually got some funny comments/messages about that.... I'm hoping to be in a new business soon, so waiting will be best anyway.
  4. I'm thinking that if I go, I want to go after the holidays. When it's not so hot. Living in Louisiana, I know HOT. Plus that will get me time to save too!! I guess after the summer I will have to send him my naked pics... LOL
  5. I've been researching Dr. Sauceda and I think when the time comes I will go with him..

    I'm in North Louisiana!!
  7. I'm in North Louisiana and my insurance would cover the surgery, so I went to Mexico. The BEST medical care I've ever received. I would do again in a heartbeat!!!

    Costa Rica

    This is where I am. The earliest I can do plastics is October. Doctors want you to be a year out and have maintained your weight. It really depends on my job and my husband's job. If things don't work out for this Fall, I will have to push it back to summer 2014. I need an upper AND lower body lift. I'm also thinking about a brow and neck lift too, I would think the more procedures you have done at one time, the price would be less for the simply fact that you are only using the OR and medical team once. I haven't seen a price list from Dr. Sauceda, he wants pics first and since I'm still at least 6 months away, I'm not comfortable sending pics yet.... Have you checked out my Youtube page? Also are you a member of Sassy Sleevers on FB? Check them out, they are full of info.

    Costa Rica

    I've researched Costa Rica through Arrivacostarica.com and other like sites. That being said, I think I'm going to use Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey, Mexico.

    Corset trunkplasty

    I have heard of it, not by that name. What I have found doing my research is that most tummy tucks include the "corset" procedure, at least the dr's in Mexico do. Are you a member of "sassy sleevers" on FB? We've been discussing it on there.

    Good Luck, You'll do great. Prayers for you and your doctors!!

    Cost of Surgery

    You'll like Dr. Lopez. Don't forget to keep your receipts!! I'm adding my surgery in my medical expenses for 21012.

    Slimes! Help!

    I only got the slimmies if I ate too much. Call your doctor ASAP. Something isn't right.

    Hernia repair

    I had the repair too. I remember pain between my shoulder and collar bone from the air. I had more discomfort than the other patients had and I got tired faster also. But it wasn't that bad for having the repair and the removal of my stomach. The pain will be gone is a day or two.
  15. I'm 6 months out and I don't have the "crazy energy" either.
