Not sure yet prob 2nd half 2016.

Cervantes seems excellent. For me, if I go to TJ it will be Cardenas or Cercantes.
I started researchin several surgeons in Mexico City and Monterrey since the travel would be similar. Keep us...

Agreed Kindle. Why did you receive nasty messages? You were a wealth of info and shared your experiences.
I was outspoken and never received a nasty message, they just banned me.

Anyone know which plastic surgeon Dr Alvarez recommends?

Also looking at 2016. Of the 3 you mentioned, I like Cervantes results a lot and Hosp Angeles is exceptional. I had my sleeve performed there. I would be interested in what info you find. I have been...

People seem to like Dr Yanez although I would personally look elsewhere.
I am researching the following surgeons:
Tijuana: Laura Carmina Cardenas, Salvador Medina and Pablo Cervantes.
Mexico City:...

The non Mexico /Self Pay Forums were pretty good. The Mexic forum became alovefest for primarily bariatric pal doctors.

No frills medicine, yikes.

Please be careful and be very diligent in your research. Best of luck!

Thanks for sharing Ms Jupiter. Did you have a pain pump or did they inject Exparel for post op pain? Thanks and continued good luck healing!

How many days did you stay at the Recovery House?
Was Pompeii a modern well equipped surgical center? Dr Cardenas recommended a 360 and some lipo...

Hospital Angeles was an excellent hospital. They are a true full service hospital with a 24/7 active ER and ICU as opposed to hospitals advertising an ICU which is one room with basic emergency...

Sorry I have not heard of your surgeon.

I am considering having an Abdominoplasty and lipo at Cosmed with Dr Fuentes.
What pain meds do they prescribe post op?
Many surgeons seem to use pain pumps with anesthesia to get you through the...

IMHO, Kelly and Alvarez are top notch.
Next Quinones.
Last would be Almanza.
I don't know anything about Aguilar.

There are certainly many experiences described in this forum. I would suggest reviewing the many post on bpal as well as other sites. Keep in mind that there are many options based upon physician...

Good to know, thanks. There are plenty of photos of Dr Cardenas patients on the realself site.

Dr Cardenas is on my short list for a TT and lipo.
I am impressed by her results.
The recovery boutique is also well run.
I need to find out more about her surgical facility.
For the gastric...

Seems like it could work well for some. I looked into it with Mexican surgeon but I need a permanent weight loss tool.
