I am so sorry that happened. I can't imagine why they wouldn't tell you that, too. Are you going to see about going to a different surgeon for the issues you are experiencing?
Thank you. You bring on some very valid points. I hate that tings are so engrained and I just cant wrap my head around some things! I am pretty hard headed too!
I am also very interested in planning a trip to have plastic surgery. I can not afford the rates in USA. I am anxious to hear more about travel and surgery. How long was stay. what was recovery and follow up like. Can you meet them with telehealth?
thank you
Hi everyone, I had my RNY July 2, 2013. I lost my weight in 6 months and I have maintained that loss for 7.5 years. Sept of 2015 I had a Panni done. The Plastic Surgeon told me that he would do my panni and cut me down to my belly button and pull all the excess skin to front and remove it. He even said my Fupa would be lifted. Well, he removed 10 plus pounds and yes my skin was tight. Right away I ask him why was my upper stomach still large. He told me it was the swelling after 3 appointments of me asking him he told me I needed LIPO done. Why didn't he tell me before surgery? I could have made the decision to pay the extra $$ it would cost to do it all right. So if I was anyone getting skin removal I would get the full on surgery, ask tons of ?'s. Unlike what I didn't do. Trusted him and now it is what it is!!
Total permanently removed for me over the years was less than 15 lbs I think - and I had a LOT of liposuction done even pre-op .
The truth is if you don't get rid of your overeating addiction ( which is really hard to do without the permanent restriction of bariatric surgery and the mental adjustments that took YEARS in my case ( but I'm hardheaded 
) you'll eat it back on.
Most Normie liposuction recipients eat it back on too... that's why they say lipo improves things for only five years .
If you diet and exercise strenuously pre-op to empty the fat cells obviously the lipo will remove more. But nothing's a permanent cure for over-eating lol ! ( or age related changes )
That said , I would not undo any of my surgeries' results.
Hello again, I have had a few consultations here in the states, but wanted to know if anyone had any experiences, whether good or bad, with surgeons in Mexico?
I used dr Sauceda for two rounds of plastics, most recently in February 2020. Send him an email at [email protected] and put consult in the subject line. He responds pretty quickly himself, to you and tell you what pics to send him for a virtual consult.
he is excellent.
Just plllleeeaaaassssssssseeeee do as much research as you absolutely can and speak to multiple patients from a surgeon if that is the route you decide to go. I know there are success stories out there, but don't just go for someone because they are giving you a "killer" deal. Not worth the risks and complications since a US Dr. won't touch you if you have issues.
"a us dr won't touch you if you hAve issues". This is not true.
Hi,
I am new to the site and have been reading many posts that target those who have had multiple body contouring/skin removal surgeries after significant weight loss.
After reading your comment, I was curious if all of the above was done in one surgery? ? If so, would you do it all together again if you had the chance, how long was your surgery time and can you share what was the worst part for you?
I am to have surgery next month and am slated to also have several procedures at once. Have been feeling a lot of anxiety about it being too much!
Thanks in advance.
