I went for my cosmetic surgery consult this month. What he is wanting to do is a 360 body lift. Anyone had one?

The clinic is in TJ Mexico. I had my band place in MX so I'm not worried about going to mexico. I have a lot of skin and my ins will not help.

thanks

Nancy

The price is a little less the $10,000.00 and I'm looking at cosmed Dr. Quiroz. I'm not committed to this doctor yet. I was in TJ for a fill when I had my consult. I'm also going to look for a doctor in Oregon, where I live. Just checking around.

I don't know much, but even cosmetic is big surgery, and you have to be careful about going elsewhere... and even in the US, you've got to do research... I imagine I'm going to go through this myself in a couple years :-

I think they mean just a complete makeover... tummy, arms, legs, everything... technically that'd be a 180° makeover... because 180° is the opposite of where you started, while 360° puts you back where you started... haha but you get the gist..

What is a 360 body lift????

That's right! They cut from one side to the other. They work on all parts of your body at one time. I'm really working hard to be in shape for this. This is not an easy surgery. However I been dreaming about having it now for the past year! I have so much skin it slows me down and I've got to much life left to live!

It's not for everyone and I will be closely monitored while in the recovery phase. Hope that answered the question.

Have a safe and happy new year!

NancyJ - what would that entail though. Tummy Tuck, and removal of skin flap, arms, thighs... anything else?

breast, arms, and a little on the neck.

It's the whole thing at one time. I will stay in Mexico for about 2 weeks and then return home for another 2 weeks of rest.

Pepper you have not had surgery yet?

Do your homework. Be committed and know what you are getting in to.

I know what I'm getting into with the band, but I have not considered any plastic surgery beyond the tummy.

I'd make sure my stats were all good. Get your ticker checked. That procedure is very hard on the body and Mexico doesn't have the same standards our doctors here in the states have.

Best to you. Post back your results.

I obviously knew that they did all of these surgeries seperately, but I did not realize that they would do it all at once. That is a major Fluid shift for the body to adjust to. As a nurse, it sounds really great, but a little scary in terms of recovery. I will have to look in to it more when I get closer. Getting it all done at once sure does seem like the way to go. I just don't want to jeopardize my health in the process.

      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.
