Once you hit your goal weights is anyone going back to Mexico for nips and tucks? Has anyone already "been there, done that"?

Good question, if I need them I for sure would do them in Mexico instead of in the US, but who is on the best list for these types of surgery in Mexico and what are the prices?

I went to Dr Carmina Cardenas in TJ Mexico and stayed at her recovery house after surgery. Fully licenced and qualified nursing care. The recovery house has raised toilets, chairs in showers, nurses assist in showering, laundry every day, hospital beds. You basically come with a clothes on your back and thats all. Her email is carminacardenas@gmail.com. You send her pictures without a face, front, back and sides and tell her what you want and she will tell you if its doable. Aslo she had VS and TT herself.

Not all at once, 4 stages. Recovery is tough first surgery then its easier cause you know what to expect. You can also do things to make your recovery easier.

How much was the arm lift (if you don't mind answering)? I really want this now! Haha I can wait for a year or so for everything else but I want some tank top arms!

Arm lift on its own is 2500. I did mine with a scar in the arm pit. Dr looks at your arms and can tell you if arm pit scar will get the results you want or you may need a vertical scar

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
