opinions needed on Dr. Carmina Cardenas, MX



Recommended Posts

I just put a deposit down for an extended TT with Dr. Carmina Cardenas in TJ, MX. I'm looking for anyone who has any knowledge or opinions, good or bad. Please PM me, if necessary. I guess I should have asked this before I booked my date for Sept. Thanks in advance for any info

I just saw your post. I had many surgeries dine by her and I have only positive things to say. When is your surgery and what are you getting done? Where are you recovering

i have a lot of mixed reviews about this surgeon. there is a great site you can go to and find out everything you need to know about any procedure your looking to have as well as the top surgeons who do them. Cardenas has loads of reviews on the site as well. Realself.com

There is a weirdo on that site who says she hated Cardenas results after 2 days out of surgery then 4 months later she loved it. I read that and when I went to TJ with my friend for her sleeve, I saw Dr Cardenas assistant and asked her about it. She said this lady was back and forth with the procedure, one day she wanted next day she didnt. Finally on the day of her ride bailed on her. Fatimeh asked her if she still wanted it. She said yes and Fatimeh has arranged a ride for her that morning. The day after surgery she was already complaining about results and Fatimeh and Dr Cardenas told her that you have to wait 6 months for final results. I am totally in agreement with that. Aslo you have to eat healthy and exercise or results will be sabotaged. Guess what...I am an emotional eater and ate too much. Now I am paying the price. We have to listen to our doctors for the most part.

I totally agree with this. Cardenas did my plastic surgery and at first, I wasnt sure if I liked my butt. It was wider but I didnt see any projection. Fast forward one year later, and my butt has taken on a life of its own! Lol I think it was around month 7 that it started "fluffing." Im super happy with my results :)

She knows what she is doing. I am a bit wider too but that is because she added some to thighs to smooth the lines if you know what I mean

      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.
