WOW!!!  Congrats on your surgeries!!! I can only dream about getting all of that done! LOL!
You know I would love to get butt aug and arm aug thats the 2 areas that are driving me CRAZY
I was thinking about your Dr and was wondering if you could tell me how much those 2 surgeries are, I also heard that he does multiple surgeries for the price of one.
if you dont mind me asking that is...
I hope you get the bod you were after, take care
Lisa

 Lisa,
I have had two surgeries, three days apart to take care of it all.  Kaiser wanted to do four surgeries.  Dr. Sauceda charges based on combinations etc. also the amount of work/ hours it will take.

Send pictures wearing only panties to [email protected] and he will respond with what he can do for you.  Once you agree on what you want, he will give you a price.  He's great to work with. I would recommend him to anyone.  

I forgot to say pics or front, sides, back face. Raise your arms if youre looking for an arm lift.

Hi Lee,
     What made you chose Dr. Sauceda? I am a lilttle afraid of traveling to Mexico at present. Does this physician have a private clinic? What hotel you stayed in? Would love to have a couple procedures in the future.

I chose Dr. Sauceda because some people local to me used him and raved about him.  I did a lot of research and wanted one recovery period, plus the cost was 1/3 of what Kaiser quoted me.  Dr. S specializes in people who have had massive weight loss.  I knew that my skin was different than a mommy wanted a tummy tuck and wanted an experienced surgeon. 

Dr. Sauceda used an epidural and twilight sleep, not a general on me and I liked that he could operate for 13 hours with no adverse effects.  He used local on my face.  I was out for the first 5 hours, but then listened to the five people in the OR talking during the last hour.  It was easy to come out of the surgery and made recovery so much easier.

I also knew that I didn't want to be released from a hospital on day two and come home to care for myself because I would worry about everything.  Because I had my body work on a Friday, then my face on Monday, I stayed in the clini****il Wednesday.  With just the body work, I would have probably been ready to go to the hotel on Sunday or Monday.  I had 24/7 care by skilled nurses in the clinic.  When I transferred to the hotel, I was at a Hampton Inn where Dr. S came to visit me daily to check on me.  His nurse Patty came for two hours everyday to bathe me, change dressings, remove stitches etc.  I felt very well taken care of. 

The clinic is a quick walk to the hotel. I had a friend with me who always walked it during daylight.  In the parking lot of the hotel is Applebee's, an Italian restaurant, Starbucks, McDonalds. There is a big HEB grocery store in the parking lot along with a small mall.  In the mall is a Movie Theatre ($2.10 a ticket) and a food court with lots of options.  I went to the movies 3 times in the week that I was at the hotel.  I would have gone daily if there were more things I wanted to see.

Dr. Sauceda has a group here on OH.  Come join us if you'd like.
