I had my surgery in 2014 and things have gone very well. I do have some issues with skin on my arms but it's not significant and I can hide with sleeves. However, my neck is another story. It's the only part of my body that really is driving me nuts. I'm very self-conscious about it. I am in Houston. Has anyone had a neck lift procedure in Texas? It looks like is 7-12K which I think is pretty high. I've thought about Mexico. I am not planning on having any other plastic surgery.

My sister had a Lifestyle lift. She was happy with the results but said if she knew the truth about recovery she probably wouldn't do it again. They do it while you are awake - cutting and stitching as they go. It took 3 months before she could sleep in her bed and several years later she can still feel tightness behind her ears where they pulled the skin back to smooth out her neck.

I had a neck lift, lower face lift and upper eye lids done in the Dominican Sept 2016 and have fantastic results. Cost $6500 including flights, accommodation, transport etc etc.

Dr Carmina Cardenas just did my neck lift and mastoplexy in Tijuana. She is amazing and so far I love my results. It was around $4500. I was quoted 13,000 in the USA for the same thing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
