freespirit63 112 Posted August 21, 2013 Last time I went there in November we just zipped through, no one stopped us. Ask the co-ordinator you are with and they will know. If you have not booked your surgery I can recommend someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freespirit63 112 Posted September 7, 2013 Let me reassure you. I came back from Mexico after plastic surgery and my garment caused me a rash. It spead and was itching so bad I wanted to tear my skin off. I went to emerg. First of all the doctir could nit believe how nice and thin and low the scar was after just 1 week post tt. Then I told him I had surgery in San Diego because my dr has san diego address. He didnt care. Just gave me perscription and went to next patient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
