Plastics in Mexico?
on 9/1/12 9:24 pm
Some people purposefully do their plastics in phases because they have so much to lose ... And need the health benefits of plastics before they get to goal.
They do that knowing that they will need a revision for best results.
It sounds like you have done great with your weight loss,congratulations.
But it also sounds like you may be expecting to lose another 150 pounds or more AND have plastics AND be ready for a wedding within the next 12 months. That sounds like a tall order.
Your weight loss is going to slow as your bmi drops ..... You can't expect to lose at the pace you have been losing.
Dr. Sauceda in Mexico has an excellent reputation, I am sure you will hear from some of his patients who can hook you up with info.
Good luck!!!

Love my Body by Sauceda
I started as a heavyweight too! 488lbs! And believe me I was a mess! I have been to Dr S - twice and have had numerous procedures - and 3 surgeries! I have no regrets!
Get as close to goal as possible, remain stable for a while - you may not be able to get it all done by your wedding. Your best result comes from being as close to goal as possible, or else you will need a revision at a later time.
The price is excellent, BUT I didn't go with Dr S for the price, I went with him because he has a lot experience with WLS patients and your safety is his top priority! He's honest and he has integrity. He won't promise you anything he cannot deliver!
12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.
The people who lose the most weight and are closest to goal have the best plastic surgery results. You should also be at a stable weight for several months at least. They say for a good tummy tuck when you lie down your stomach should not be protruding above your ribs.
I think getting to goal and waiting to be stable and recovering from plastic surgery you will most likely need more than 9 months.
