Ohhh fun and cool. Gotta promise to tell all about it. Go for it. I now have a flat tummy but its "draped" with the skin of a larger tummy. But I love hearing PS stories. Diane

Patty, that's great news. I can't wait to hear how your consult goes. I had a consult with Kaiser's best platics guy. He spoke at one of our support group meetings and does great work,but I can't afford him.

I'm scheduled for plastics on December 9th with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico. He has a group here on OH with lots of information. Two of the women in my Contra Costa support group went to him and had great results.

Have you been over to the plastic surgery forum? I seem to be spending most of my OH time over there researching and learning as much as I can.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the tips of the PS forum..I hadn't really used it but since your post I started checking it out...good stuff! How exciting to have your PS scheduled! good luck to you... Was it MUCH cheaper going to Mexico? I am so excited to find out the scoop next Thursday...will post for sure!

Kaiser quoted me over $55K and 4 surgeries. I'm having two procedures in Mexico and saving aproximately $35K. But everyone is quoted differently with Dr. Sauceda depending on how many surgeries, what needs to be done etc. You can send him pictures and he will email you back within a day or two with what he thinks you need and a price quote. If you decide to send pics, do it with only panties on and take full pics of front, back and both sides. I sent my face closeup because I'm having my face done as well. I'll be staying in Mexico for two weeks, then coming home. His prices include the clinic, hotel stay and reimburse my airfare as well.

Let me know how it goes tomorrow!
