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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
