Topic: RE: 360° surgeons in America and Mexico suggestions
I'm in Illinois. I was going to use the surgeon here local. He has been highly recommended but my friend just had her tummy tuck and he clearly did a botched job on her left side (his work not from her healing) and he said he would fix it but she had to pay for all the extras AGAIN like anesthesia and room etc. . So he is off my list. I know I'll probably have to pay out of pocket but I guess am looking for my "miracle" so I won't have to. Currently have Covid (I am vaccinated) and worry about surgery in Mexico and recovery. I'd hate to deal with recuperating and Covid because it is miserable. But at the same time the price difference is astronomical! How long would I be in Mexico? Would it be safe to travel after surgery to come back home? ??sorry my one question turned into my Covid thoughts! I am board out of my mind and have to much time to think while quarantined.

Topic: RE: 360° surgeons in America and Mexico suggestions

the two names of surgeons in Mexico that have come up time and time again are Francisco Saucedo in Monterrey and Laura Carmina Cardenas in Tijuana.

as for US, there are a few - where do you live?

as far as insurance goes, some policies won't cover it at all, some will cover at least parts of it if it's causing some sort of medical issue, like chronic rashes, that won't respond to conventional treatments. So if you have anything like that, see your doctor so that you'll have documentation to submit to your insurance company if/when you decide to go ahead with plastic surgery. A lot of us were self-pay - some people used savings, some took out a home equity loan, and at least one person I remember borrowed from her 401(k).

I’m 10 years out from my VSG and it’s time to hack off the skin! I need suggestions on Good Surgeons in USA and Mexico. Financing suggestions or ways to get insurance to pay would be great as well. Thanks I’m advance!

Topic: RE: I may not have enough money to get my planned plastic surgery !

Do you mind me asking where you are located? I've been trying for years to get the same plastic surgery, but I keep getting told that they won't even do a consult with me unless I've had so many recurring yeast infections that won't go away for atleast 3 months. I've had some issues with that, but nothing that I couldn't handle without having to go to the doctor to treat it. I'm seriously at the end of my rope looking for a way to get this done, because there is no way I can afford to pay for this plastic surgery outright. And it affects my life so much on the daily. I just don't know what to do anymore, and anything you can give me advice on would be so much appreciated.

Topic: RE: Abdominoplasty and panniculectomy

Congratulations! May I ask what insurance company covered it please? What state are you in? It also sounds like he/she did a tumy tuck? I have horrible rashes andeverything associated with it I am sure you know what I mean. I have been complaining for at least 8 years. Its all on paper. She keeps prescribing me cream to help aleviate the rash but it is only temporary. Its awful to say the least. Are your rashes gone completey? how was the recovery time if you dont mind me asking?

Topic: Ruptured implant

I had breast implants in 2007 and just recently found out that one of them has ruptured. I'm kinda upset because insurance may not pay to have them removed!

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue!

At last I have found freedom
