I'm planning to go to Dr. Sauceda in Mexico in December. I'm having a lot of body work done, then three days later having my face done.

Someone asked about how long you stay etc. I'll be in Mexico for 14 days. Probably 5-6 days in the clinic, then another week in a hotel. A nurse comes to the hotel daily to help with shower and bandage changes and I'm told that Dr. S also comes once a day. All of these costs are included in his surgery price, along with personal pickup and drop off at the airport.

He has a price list and what it includes on his website medicaltourism. com. He has a group over on OH where you can get a lot of information from people who have been there, including pictures of the facilities etc.

It certainly is more affordable than my local Kaiser or other surgeons in the are.

I'm glad you asked this. I would love to have some work done once my weight is gone. I have a long way to go first, but once I get there, I'd like to have a nice body.

I have not had my vsg yet but I do plan on getting my nips and nucks in Mexico by a dr Pantoja in Tijuana. I have researched him a lot and I love his results for a tt fat graphing and Lipo its 4800 of course i would have to pay for a recovery house but i'm fine with that. The only thing I can suggest is that u research research and than when ur tired research again. Also there is a website that has many many woman from american who share there stories of surgery in mexico and thats site is makemeheal.com,,,hope it helps.

I'm scheduled for plastics with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico next month. He has a group over at Obesity Help for anyone interested in reading stories of people who have had surgery there.

I had plastics with Dr. Sauceda. Bodywork for 13 hours on December 9th and six hour neck, face and eyelid surgery on December 12th.

I think the man is a true artist and does beautiful work. I was in the clinic from Friday until Wednesday, then went to a hotel sheer he visited me daily. His nurse came for two hours daily to bathe me and apply antibiotic gel, redress the incisions in gauze and put me into the compression garments. He gave me two sets of very expensive garments that I will live in for six weeks. I had a friend go with me. Our hotel was paid for, for the entire two weeks. The doctors driver picked us up at the airport, and a taxi that was already paid for took us back to the airport. Dr. S paid my airline ticket, up to $600 because my surgery was over $7,000.

I had. Lower body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, breast lift and reduction. He promised me gorgeous breasts without implants and he delivered. He tightened my stomach muscles. He took off six pounds of skin and lipoed two liters of fat from my thighs and saddlebags. The good fat was put into my butt because it was way too flat. He gave me a cute round tush.

I highly recommend him to anyone. A week after all the body work, I was out to lunch and the movie theatre. I was amazed at how quickly I was healing. It's going to take awhile to heal, but I love love love my Body by Sauceda!

Tell you surgeon that you want to nurse your baby in the future and they will try to do everything they can to keep the milk ducts intact. A good friend of mine had breast reduction surgery and she was able to nurse her baby 2 years later with no problems except the baby had a strong preference for the right over the left. She guessed there was more milk out of that one for some reason.

      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.
