Recommended Posts

Hey all, had plastic surgery in Monterrey Mexico in March with Dr. Sauceda. I am now 6 weeks post op from brachioplasty, breast lift, breast augmentation with silicone implants, Tummy Tuck, Lipo of top part of tummy and back and brazilian butt lift with lipoed fat injected in rear to "plump" it!

YOu are welcome to view my before/after pics and pictures through this process over the last 6 weeks. I still have some swelling in the tummy, but the rest is mostly all gone. I also posted my surgery blog, my personal story, and a good links section. Hubby was kind enough to do the website for me!!

You can view it at: My Mexico Plastic Surgery Journey!

Thanks!!

Misty

Oh, and since I know this will come up, it cost me $12,000 for all my procedures including my airfare and 10 nights hotel, 2 nights in the hospital, all my hospital and surgery fees, and after care garments.

I was quoted in Dallas for $27000. The other Plastic surgeons I talked too thought I was nuts to do all of that at once. I am in excellent health with no comorbodities, fairly young so I wasn't afraid of doing it all at once. I had no complications and would go back to Monterrey and Dr. Sauceda to do it again in a heartbeat!!

I have to be honest, the first 2 days were bad but after that it really wasn't painful. Pain is mostly a mind-construct, so there are beneficial cognitive ways of dealing with it. Maybe I am just different but I don't really feel that things were bad. I was back at school the following week when I got back from Mexico.

      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.
