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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
