Are you talking about akin removal like a panniculectomy or the like? Those types of surgeries would be much less expensive. But those aren't cosmetic surgeries. They are considered medical necessities. Lower body lifts & augmentations include a lot of contouring and are much more intricate & invasive surgeries.

Yes I was talking about the loose skin surgery. It wasn't very much there.

To those who have had procedures in MX, did you go alone or did you have someone go with you? If you went alone, was this your first time traveling outside the US? Was you nervous to be in a foreign country alone and be put under the knife? How did you deal with the jitters?

Im in the process of scheduling for TJ for the end of Jan or first week of Feb. Dr Fuentes. I did picture consults with 3 dr in mexico, 2 in tj one in monterrey. I decided on TJ because it was close to the border and I can recover in San Diego after one night in the hospital but still be close enough to clinic for my post op drain removal etc. I was planning on my husband going but his work schedule is not accomadating, and I don't want to put it off because I want to be able to swim etc when it gets warm here....but I have to say I am extremely nervous and actually just a little scared to go alone. Anyone have any tips/advise? BTW, I am having TT, BL/BR, fat graft to buttocks, and inner thigh lift. Thanks!

I went alone and stayed at a recovery house. It was the best idea ever because the recovery house I stayed in is run by a doctor and has 24 hour nursing staff, cook and they do your laundry every day. You literally come with clothes on your back. It is the only licenced by health dept in TJ. Here is a link

Can you tell me the prices? Just curious.... Also, it looked like patients share rooms? The website does say that male patients have private rooms but does not mention anything else...

I had a friend go with me, which worked out great. She helped ne to go to the bathroom and reposititiion. I personally wouldn't go a lone. That's just me. I also went to a place in Mexico that was right across the border. My doctor spoke English but lots of the staff members either didn't or knew very little and i didn't know it at all. The lady that went with me had an app on her iphone for converting English to Spanish and visa versa that helped.

      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.
