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!!

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.

      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.
