I’ve heard through the grapevine that BP is doing plastics now.

How do I get more info. I’m just about ready to take the plunge!

Hello AmandaRaeLeo
We have partnered with Dr. Alejandro Galvez and are now offering plastic surgery at BariatricPal Hospital MX.
Dr. Galvez is has two surgical specialties in both plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery as in general, digestive and endocrine surgery.
Please join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/DrAlejandroGalvezandBariatricPalMX/

I have so many friends who've had plastic surgery after weight loss, they have a long recovery and several check ups. How is that handled if we go to Mexico?

I sent a request to join the FB group, however, answering the questions here in this thread would be great too. So to allow for transparency and consistency.

Ex. Are they board certified?

I follow several people on IG who had surgery from him **recently** and everyone of them have a wound that came open.. no others that have had surgery in the last few months on my followers list, with other surgeons, have had the same issue. Is that coincidence?

Hi Everyone ! Yes, I am board Certified, certification number 1882. And like Bill and Stacy already said, for any info you can write to plastics@bariatricpal.com or join my group, I try to be as useful as I can to help everyone make more informed decisions on Plastic surgery after weight loss . I liked that someone used the word transparency ! I'm all for it , you can talk to all or most of My patients also on the FB group, and you can even see some of the surgeries on my Instagram live when some patients allow us to show it.

I'm still about a year away, but was trying to get a feel for pricing for planning purposes.

What do I need to do to be accepted to the Facebook for? I've tried to join a few times over the past couple days come off but apparently I'm not being accepted to the group.

      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.
