?US or abroad and what doctor?



Recommended Posts

what country will have your cosmetic surgery? do you already know what doctor?

I will have it in the US if the price is reasonable, and I do know of a good PS here in Las Vegas. If I can't afford it here, will go to Mexicali and have it done by the PS there. However, that is a long way off for me I think.

i had some work done before i had my sleeve rhinoplasty, blephplasty, and some lipo., And i went to argentina to get it done. at the time i went through a company called plentas (they changed their name to worthy med now) and they charged me an arm and a leg. But a couple weeks ago i tracked down the doctor who did my surgery last year and pay through him with no middle man and it was MUCH MUCH MUCH less. so i'm gonna wait till i get to or near my goal weight and i'm going back to argentina for a Tummy Tuck and thigh lift. But you might wanna consider the plane ticket from ny/nj is about $1000 and you have to find your own place to stay for 2-4weeks and then price of food. So all of that adds up but i think it's still a decent price for going to a place that know more what they're doing (next to brazil, argentina is the second biggest cosmetic surgery capital of the world) and a place that i'm familiar with and a doctor i'm familiar with. To tell you the truth idk if i am interested in ever going back to mexico for surgery again. The only other places iwould consider is India, Asia, brazil.

I had a consul after losing all my weight with lapband and I was quoted $8500 for body lift, boob lift and implants by Dr campos -leon Tj mexico.

I have had numerous friends use him. Great care.

I had a Tummy Tuck at UCLA and received great care. They are expensive though. Even though I had a really good experience in Mexico, I just don't know that I would want to go back for surgery again. It just was stressfull to me being that far away from home. It was mentally taxing. The only thing I could see myself wanting after surgery is some boobs if mine end up like flap jacks and I am pretty certain they just might.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
