Get botox while I'm in mexico for sleeve surgery?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering after I get my sleeve surgery is there anyway I can get Botox or fillers on my face? I really need fillers under my eyes because eye bags are horrible and I'm sure it would be cheaper there.

I got Botox and was extremely pleased. My Cordinator took my daughter and me one day.. I don't know how to recommend anyone because it was a dr friend of hers.

I have had my teeth whitened in TJ. You will spend 1/3 of the cost. Here in the states I was quoted $550. In TJ at Dent-Art I paid about $150

They will pick you up in their shuttle and drive you to their facility. I would definitely use them again.

For botox and fillers, my girlfriend who lives in San Diego has used both Dr Juan Carlos Fuentes and Dr Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center. I have no clue what she pays, but she loves the results

Botox is FUN. I wouldn't pair it with major surgery though.

Honestly, I don't have one certain reason, I just wouldn't. It's just adding another factor... one more thing to heal up from I guess.

Oh ok.. Ya skeered me there! It definitely won't work for those who have a rough recovery, I guess. From what I read there are quite a few who are feeling awful and would not even be able to make it around TJ let alone off to another dr appt.

I feel VERY fortunate

When I call to schedule my surgery I will ask and see. If they could do it in the same hospital that would be awesome.

My dermatologist in the states Dr Kim here in Tacoma would disagree with you on that.

I would rather combine what I can while I'm down there because I don't plan on going back so since its cheaper for fillers etc. down there then I want to go ahead and get it all at one time.

When you can get away with spending $299 on botox versus $700 like I have spent in the past?

My answer is YES.

By the way...you should also look into Botox in your armpits. I have had it done for the past two years for excessive sweating and it has been a saving grace. No more ruining shirts

      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.
