Excess skin removal in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hello out there,

I am almost 2 years post op. I went from 297 down to 217, however, it seams like I have stated to gain some weight back, yet I have all this excess skin.

Is there anyone out there with a doctor recommendation to do body improvements?

It has been over a year since I have been on here.

I look a whole lot better, but the excess skin is driving me nuts and I want to get it removed at this point.

I can't personally recommend him, as I haven't used him or any other plastic surgeon, but I know that many wls patients go to Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey. I've been researching options and if I go to Mexico, so far, he's my top choice. If you Google him you can get more info, including a gallery of his work and a price list. There is also a message board just for his patients (and potential patients) and a Facebook group.

I went to Dr Sauceda and had great results. He will do skin removal on people who have bmi that puts them overweight still (not everyone gets down to the bmi of 25 or less!) And some surgeons won't. Google his name and his patient forum on OH should come up.

      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.
