Wow - awesome info!  You're an angel.  I'm no longer going to Mexico (worked a second job to save for my PS, but couldn't save enough, so going more local to University of Washington Medical Center's Plastic Surgery Residency Center - at least my resident is done after me on Wednesday, then flies to Chicago to start his own private practice the following Monday, so I'm not getting a newbie!  But this information will come in handy for so many people!  And if they print it out before leaving, they can point to the words if they can't pronounce them!  You are so super-helpful - all your posts give so much information!  And who knows, once I'm healed up, I might take on another second job and have the rest of my procedures in Mexico.  I just loved Dr. Sauceda when I met him.  He can take care of the arms, boobs, thighs for me!

Highest 323 / Surgery Day 289 / Current 165 - RNY 10-27-07, Hit Goal 08-18-08. Tummy tuck 10-28-09 - UW Plastic Surgery Residency Ctr, Breast/Arm Lift w/Dr. Sepehr Egrari in Bellevue, WA on 5-22-13!

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.  Unknown
