    Hi Dutchgal. I found you by noticing you had your surgery in Fresno. I too am in the Fresnomarea; actually work at Kaiser. I'm attending the informational meeting this Monday. What was your timeline from start to surgery? I have so many questions, and am thinking I'll need some support too.

    Wow....well, good luck with the Weight Watchers! I'm still hanging in here. Just eating small portions of mostly whatever I want. My tastes sure have changed! I've lost 52 pounds. Its coming off a lot slower now, of course. But, I have been lazy and have not exercized, so that's my fault. Keep me posted on your progress.

    Hi! I'm feeling good. Get tired easily though...I guess because of the lack of calories yet. It seems I can eat anything I want so far. Just not very much at one time. I've been doing solid foods for a just a few days. Can't eat too fast, though! It takes a good 30 minutes to eat like 1/4 or 1/2 a cup of anything. I'm for sure measuring but not even worrying about calories, grams of Protein or grams of carbs, fat etc. but am reading labels and making healthy choices. Doubt I have gotten in 64 ounces of liquids per day. Just doing the best I can. Thanks for asking!! How are you holding up???

    Hi Cheryl, I had my orientation with Alvarez and thought he was going to be my surgeon, even met with him one on one and that point he told me I had to lose 15 pounds before I could have the surgery...I was so depressed and thought how in the heck can I do this ??? But I did !! I went to lunch with a friend the end of August and we were talking about her Bypass and how well she has done and at that point I still have 7 more pounds to go, I dont own a scale o I didnt know where I was weight wise and I was scared to go into Kaiser to weigh in for fear that I would have gained weight !!! But I thought well I better go in just to see where Im at and face the music !! SO I went in on a Friday ( the end of August) and weighed in at a pound less than my goal weight !! Me and the nurse started to scream and jump up and down becasue I serisouly didnt expect it !!!!! So they scheduled my surgery right then !!! I could of went with Alvarez but he was booked all the way through September and part of Oct. and I didnt want to wait that long ! So I choose Boghossian and took the first date availiable !! I didnt know anything about him but he was the one that brought the Lap Procedure to kaiser and taught it to Alvarez, and I really did like him !!!! I will call you tomorrow when my kids are in school and give you more detail !!! Its eaiser to ask questions !!

    I miss you on the Kaiser group...are you subscribed to it? I just found out that it's not like other threads where we're subscribed if we post, we have to actively choose to be subscribed in order to see the new threads, posts, etc.

Mexican Plastic Surgery

by dutchgal on 08-11-2011 at 08:34 PM
Several folks on here have sent me private messages, inquiring about a plastic surgeon in Mexico so I have decided to share this for everyone.

5 years ago, a friend had gastric bypass.......she lost 100% of her weight......and looked great but still had the skin..........so she knew two women in her community who had plastic surgery done in Mexico. She went down to Tijuana, Mexico and had a boob job and tummy tuck for $8700.00 and looks wonderful still. I was a bit skeptical but she
