Does anyone know anything about a Plastic Surgeon Dr. Salk in Monterrey Mexico? Or anything about Gosculptura? Dr. Stalk is closest to me as I am in Dallas but I cannot find anything about him. I am deperately seeking information. I need reconstructive surgery asap. Can't afford Dr. Saucedo (Monterrey) or Dr. Gutierrez (Tijuana). So now looking for a plan C. Please any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Dr Victor Gutierrez is my plastic surgeon, and he did all of my surgical work. Wow, I wish I could recommend another plastic surgeon that I felt sure would give you awesome results. I have put many hours into researching hundreds and hundreds of plastic surgeons, because I wanted the best results possible. I also needed one who knew how to do body sculpting after massive weigh loss. I live near Dallas as well, and I understand what you are going through. If I come across a name or find out more information about the plastic surgeons that you mention, I will be sure to let you know.

It frankly worries me to try to find someone even more affordable than those two options. Dr S and Dr G have different pluses and minusses, but what they have in common is a goodly number of very satisfied patients, who had good outcomes and a safe experience. Even in Mexico, that costs money...

Compared to USA options, Dr Sauceda is probably 30-40% of the cost of comparable procedures. For that $$ he provides a lot more aftercare too. so, again, I wonder what corners would be cut if you do find a "cheaper" alternative.

I personally would do fewer procedures to save money versus going with an "unknown". Good luck!

I looked at the prices on his website and they are almost the same as Dr. Sauceda's and some are higher. Not sure about multiple operations though as Dr. S discounts and pays up to $600 of your airline ticket if your operations are over a certain amount.

      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.
