How much is the procedure and are you only getting the tt? I plan in getting plastics done once I reach goal and thought about going there to make it a vacation prior to surgery.

Where in Dr is she in? I might go see Dr. Jesus Abreu or Dr. Donald Roland who promotes a lot in DR but does his surgeries in NYC.. and One of my moms friends got consulted by a doctor here who gave her an appointment to get her stuff done in DR.

Can you go into details on what your getting done? I still don't speak -plastics lol

Sorry typo. My surgery was in Feb and my starting weight was 275, down 30. Do you know anyone who has had surgery with that doctor? Also thinking of using Dr. Sauceda in MX.

Can you send that doctor info from here but send you DR

As soon as my moms friend gets back from DR i'll have her give me all the info. I'll add it here.

I told my mom whose currently out there if she can go check out Dra de lo santos however my mother prefers from me to have surgery here.

They will charge me 4x what your paying if i get plastics in NYC

Hey hun. My moms friend didn't get the surgery. Her surgeon was trying to charge her another $2000 because she had put on some weight. (she said is a scam they do sometimes) So she's going to have surgery with another Doc.

She said 2 of her friends recommended them. Good Luck!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
