Good morning my favorite people in Ontario..:)

Almost 2 years ago I saw a post from “Bonnie ABC” talking about this PS Surgeon in Mexico and I was hooked…lol…I knew I wanted this for myself – the cherry on top – the icing on the cake – butter to my bread – peanut butter to my jelly – wait a minute, I just might be hungry….lol

I am posting this because Bonnie had an effect on my journey and so grateful that I read what she wrote and thought I should post this in hopes that it might be helpful to another!!

The procedures are done all at once and I am getting a Neck Lift, Large Arm Lift, Breast Lift with Augmentation, Lower Body Lift w/Anchor Cut and Large Thigh Lift.  I CAN’T WAIT!  I’m leaving on Sunday the 8th and my surgery is on the 10^th.  I will be back in Canada on the 21^st.

I am SO grateful that Ontario is giving us a chance to change our lives and HOPE they will always let us benefit from that.  Also grateful to all the vets on here, this journey was MUCH easier because of all your help along the way!  I won’t name all but you know who you are, especially those I text/pm here and there.

I can’t post my before and after because this beautiful newly updated user-friendly website can’t access my pics…lol…but I love looking at them (eventually you’ll be able to view them in my profile) to remind me what I’ve achieved, especially after being hard on myself if I gain 5lbs, I look at these and realize that 5lbs is nothing to lose after doing 250…lol

Happy journey everyone – it’s so worth it!

Have a great weekend,

Nathalie

Nathalie,

Best of luck!  I am still pre op but have been paying lots of attention to the posts on plastic surgeons.  Are you going to Dr. Sauceda?  I saw some posts on here and have actually book marked his site.

I also want to say congrats on your amazing weight loss....I have read your story and think you are an inspiration.

I am excited to follow your progress.

Safe trip and happy healing..

Vicky

Yep, the fabulous Dr. Sauceda

ty for your kind words and keep that website in mind, I'll be posting every single day on that site to explain my day-to-day experience...:)

Best of luck. Do post about your progress.  I will definitely be looking into this next year.    Take care!

Dar

I can't wait to hear how you make out. I too would like to do the Mexico thing when the time comes - I can't wait to hear about your experience. :)

How exciting! All the best to you.

Ah my dear friend.   About time you got to enjoy the artistic world of Dr. Sauceda.    If anyone doesn't know, this man focuses on wls patients.   Our skin is not like the mommy makeovers that make up about 90% of a regular plastic surgeon's clientele.    We are stretched, and torn, but I don't need to tell you that.   This man has done many many of us, and knows what to do.   

Dr. S uses Epidural and Twilight sleep to do procedures. This allows him to work longer than most surgeons and all the procedures can be done at once.    Most of us feel little pain after our surgeries.   We go for mark up the night before surgery, with Dr. S picking us up the morning of.    You spend about two or three days in the hospital, then off to the Hampton Inn to recover.   Should your surgery total over a certain amount, then the hotel fees are covered by Dr. S and so are your implants and garments.   Daily a nurse will come to you to help you shower, dress your wounds and re-dress you.    Dr. S will also come by.  

It's an amazing opportunity for those that choose not to have plastics here in Canada.  There are things to be aware of, such as complications.    You MUST have your doctor here on board.  You never know if and when you might need them.   

I have personally met him twice, two different occasions.   I trust the man with the my life.    But a I also know he won't promise you things he cannot give you.   He will tell you what he can do for your body, and then let you decide.    He will do a picture consult, if you send him the pics.    Please be in close to maintenance mode so he can tell you what he can do for you.   

Dr. S's board here on OH will let you into the world and patients lives.    I'm sure we will see Natalie's journey in real time.    You will hear it all there, not just the good pictures some surgeons want to show you, you will see what Dr. S can do.   

Natalie, as I said earlier today, I wished I was going with you.    You are about to meet the kindest man.   You will love him and his nurse Patti.  I am glad you made this decision, and can't wait for the results to be shown. 

Bonnie

Thanks Bonnie for explaining, I completely forgot to mention the details you gave which is good because you described everything perfectly.
