I'd REALLY like ( before going bak 2 an Incredibly Demanding Palm Beach Season ... ) a few improvements . Hav th munny don't hav th time . 
Im exasperating myself by prioritizing everyone else and ignoring my own needs and well deserved and needed pleasure 
Dr Francisco Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico did mine . It leaves a lot of scarring ( no bikini bottoms with legs cut up to the waist a la the disco era lol) but in my case healed and faded fast . My legs which were kinda loose skinned n shaky came out BEAUTIFUL .
I also asked him to liposuck my knee area that also helped . It's not supposed to b a very lasting surgery but five years post op I'm still massively happy :)
I second the suggestion to join real self.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
1) Were you weary of surgery in Mexico? If so, what put you at ease about traveling?
You are picked up at the airport and transported to the hotel. Dr S meets you for your markup that night, picks you up in the morning for your surgery and you stay at the clini****il you can stay by yourself back at the hotel
2) Did you go alone? Would you feel comfortable going alone (I will be)?
I had no issues. I was 59.5 and everything is taken care of for you.
3) Is he affiliated with or recommend a recovery house/facility?
No. You stay at the Hampton Inn. There is an HEB think super walmart just out the back of the hotel and down a few stores at the mall. Paty, Dr Saucada's nurse comes daily to help you shower and get back into your compression garments. The hotel has been serving his patients for over 10 years.

Hi Chris, how can I find out when Dr Sauceda will be in the states next? I've looked at his website but do not see this information there. Thanks!

I didn't research that area, so I'm not sure, but if you don't get many responses (or even if you do), check www.realself.com. People write reviews of all kinds of doctors, but a lot of them seem to be plastic surgeons. I got a handful of names from there.
I am looking to have the belt procedure with a thigh lift and would like a surgeon in the OH, KY, WV area. Does anyone have any recommendations. I have a couple of doctors in mind that I have researched but would like input.
That's great you're recovering well. The nerve "zaps" sound really strange, I'm glad they don't last long! :)

Updating again just in case anyone is curious about recovery!
A little over 3 weeks post-op. I can stand up almost straight (looks like I'm totally upright to the naked eye, but I'm not quite there). Lots of swelling, which is creating a lot of intense pulling in the mid section... I'm told this is normal. Just taking Tylenol twice a day. Sometimes I get weird nerve "zaps" which is a part of the healing process, but they can stop me dead in my tracks for a second because they are intense.
Incisions are basically healed and now I'll start working on scar treatment. The scars are thin and tiny... yay once more for Dr. Michaels.
