Has Anyone Got Plastic Surgery In Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Thank you to all who answered to my post' date=' however not to my question.

I am wanting to talk to those who DID chose to go to Mexico or abroad for cosmetic surgery.

I trust other country's doctors and I really don't like the slander on Mexican doctors. Some are genius just like some in the USA are too. That is why for my breasts I would only see dr Robert Rey (usa doc)and not other surgeons in the USA because he is amazing in breasts and does them in Beverly hills all the time.

Again I thank you guys for your posts but I DO want to go abroad for my plastic surgery.

Thanks

Not sure how to comment on the forum. But I wanted to share that I went to Puerto Vallarta for my RNY. I was scared out of my mind. But I was greatly surprised of the care I received and the quality of the hospital and the Drs care and empathy for his patients. The cost was significantly cheaper and my insurance would not cover my surgery. I paid $8500 for my surgery including hospital fees. I had additional cost for airfare, hotel (5 days required at hospital but they want you there for at least 10 days to remove drains). I plan on going back for plastics when it's time.

Thank you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> do you have any suggestions on a plastic surgeon ?

I'm working on finding one. I know there is a surgeon who practices at the same hospital I went to and I met a lady who was down there having a Tummy Tuck. She owns a business called Beat The Odds Permanent Weight Loss, she brings patients from Canada down to Puerto Vallarta for Bariatric surgery but she also is in the works of setting up plastics down there too. Look her up on fb or web. Her name is Pam Reiland, she is a very nice supportive lady. Good Luck!

A friend of mine had the band done in Mexico and was very successful! However she did get sick a lot. She found a fill station in the US for her post op fills. When I was looking into it, I found out that most of the surgeons there (Mexico) taught the surgeons in the US. Keep doing ur research but I hope this helps.

My cousin also did RNY in Mexico, and she had great success. She found a doctor near to do all her follow ups. She just celebrated 1 year. She looks amazing. I don't think I would have had the guts to out of the country.

Go to Obesityhelp and read all the info on Dr. Sauceda...He has a huge following with awesome result/testimonials and patients who are proud to show their pictures of their results there and on FB..they are great for support and give awesome details of what to expect before during and after your procedures...I had a consult with him last year in Las Vegas...His practice is in Monterrey Mexico...for one single procedure done here I can get six done with him for almost the same price...the price includes his clinic stay the hospice/hotel(15-17 days)stay, air fair reimbursement (4 anything over $10,000.), anesthesia, daily nurse visit and care..For my personal procedures he said he would do a total lower body lift, breast lift (w/out implants if I wanted them cost would be $1000, more) arm reduction, leg lift total cost $17,000. With a mini face lift upper body lift at later date for $10,000. I still have about 70lb to lose and to fill up my piggy banks....His wife is his anthestesioligist (sorry about the misspell) and sat in with him on the consult both super sweet people made me comfortable right away...good luck on your journey :)

Just research research research..... Usher's ex-wife had complications during hers in another country and Kanye's mom past as well..... It happens, so all u can do is research and pray. I had Tummy Tuck, Lipo of upper body and thighs in bowie, md for 8k, and this doctor has document he gives you stating any problems with your level of satisfaction, he will fix at no cost to you... He was good!

Good luck. Will pray for your safety...:-)

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
