extra fees after surgery at Nova Hospital in Tijuana?
waterlady posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Have many of you had this happen to you after surgery? I understand if the surgery is prolonged and requires more anesthesia it will cost more. Just curious if many people had this issue and how they handled the payment situation. -
Ok i have a super private question ladies
waterlady replied to fatgirlnomo's topic in The Gals' Room
I had a tummy tuck in Oct. My labia was kinda long. My sweet surgeon pulled everything up and back where it needs to be. I am extremely happy with the results. -
Great to hear that all is well!
-
How are you? I hope all went well.

Jupiter and Erin were his favorite nurses. The appearance of the building is very dated but the care is very efficient and prompt. Take your contract with you. Take a kindle with a translator app. The wifi is intermittent. Also, get an international plan for your cell, i ran up quite a bill.

My son had surgery Aug 20th. He has lost 135lbs and is doing great. Where are you having surgery and do you speak any spanish? He is a great surgeon. Good luck!

I have heard 150-900. We were not charged anything extra. I also heard that people have negotiated the charges down to as low as half. -

When I booked directly with Dr Kelly I was told that we would be at Nova. Also, when we were there all the consents were in Spanish. -
Dr Karl Mueller in Wheeling WV, what do you think about his work?
waterlady posted a topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I"ve heard from a few people that Dr Mueller is a good surgeon and is reasonably priced. I am interested in a tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation. If anyone knows any specifics, I would love to hear them. Thx! -
Tummy Tuck and BL with augmentation question
waterlady posted a topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I love to snow ski and was just wondering when you ladies who have had this combo actually felt like skiing again? The first surgeon I consulted with said that I should be good to go in 4-6 weeks. I do bounce back pretty quickly from things. I was back at work after gastric bypass in 9 days ( I don't have to do any heavy lifting). What do you ladies think? I REALLY want to get this done but I also love to ski... Please give me your opinions. THX! -

extra fees after surgery at Nova Hospital in Tijuana?
waterlady replied to waterlady's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I am happy to say that thanks to the good Lord above, my son had his surgery on Aug 20th at Nova hospital with Dr Kelly without any complications. We were very impressed with the nurses and doctors. We incurred no extra costs. We had a wonderful time at the Lucerne hotel. -
My experience with Dr.Kelly
waterlady replied to Tudor's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Your story sounds the same as ours. My son was just discharged from Hospital Nova today. We are loving the Lucerne hotel and the pleasant hotel staff. I am an ICU RN and I have to say that the doctors and nurses were absolutely wonderful. They tended to our needs immediately and were extremely competent. I would highly recommend. DR KELLY AND NOVA. -

insulin resistence and the sleeve
waterlady replied to waterlady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the info. -
Does the sleeve help people who have insulin resistence lose weight? My son's insulin level is 100. I'm curious how the body responds to this metabolic problem.
