Topic: RE: State employee

I am going to Dr. Aceves on August 5th in Mexicali.    I did a great deal of research before selecting him.   He is not the cheapest surgeon there, but I wanted the best I could find.    I will be in the hospital three nights and have three leak tests.   Here, I would have paid $20,000 to $25,000 for one night in the hospital and one leak test.  The cost of surgery with Dr. Aceves is $8,750.   I am in Columbia.

Congrats!!!
Which MD are you going to see? I think that's what I'm going to do as well. Any help/advice is appreciated. Where are you in the state?

I am a state employee,  too.   It is specifically excluded from our policy.   They will not pay for our surgery.  I am going to Mexico in August for mine.

HUGS. Thanks a lot for sharing.. you are wonderful .. it is you - just looking younger.. (and happier)  

 

If it not too much to ask -    Would you mind telling me - if you know how much that (roughly)  can cost? 

I heard really good stories about that doc.  I am in SC and I got quoted 2 years ago for just full face work.. 

I wonder how much would that cost with "your" doc... and then see what are any extra costs (travel, companion travel, etc..) Also - how long do you think a stay in Mexico will be needed ? 1-2 weeks?

Dr S alternates between the east coast and the west coast.  Next summer he'll probably be back in Las Vegas.  He generally goes where he can take his family.  I know there are 2 or 3 ladies coming down from Atlanta. 

You can always just take pics of your front, side, back and other side and send to [email protected]

He'll send you back a quote within a few days. 

We have a pretty active group here on OH.  Click on Dr Sauceda in my siggy line and it'll take you over there.  We also have a private FB group - BodyBySauceda.

I would love to have a consultation with him, but Orlando is bit far for me.   Maybe one day (soon?) he would come to Atlanta GA  or Charlotte, NC?

If so - let me know if you can..
