    No, but I've heard very good things about Dr. Buenrosto. Look him up. I already started doing research on all the possible procedures I will get done once this part of the journey is in maintenance.

    I will let you all know.
    I don't have a lot of skin but I don't like what I do have!
    I got pretty lucky in the skin area considering I didn't do much exercising during this journey of mine!
    Sleeve sisters I wish you all the best. I'm super happy even if I don't have plastics.

    Thanks! I will check him out. Is he also in Tijuana? I don't ever get a response from peeps that say they are going to Yanez so that makes me nervous. I'm still deciding if I wanna do this in Mexico or just do it here in the U.S.

    Yup he is in TJ. He also did Rosie Mercado's Plastics. She is a Plus Size model that used to weigh over 400 pounds and had VSG surgery as well. Had plastics with him after.

    For what it's worth - take it or leave it - but with the $ of plastics lowering in the US I wouldn't go to Tijuana for anything. Too many complications can come up and then you're screwed back here in the US. I had a TT done in the US and was damn glad I had a local doctor. No complications but I was able to be home in my own home to recover. I tolerated the sleeve done in Tijuana cause that was just a 3 day in and out but when I started looking into a face lift and eye lift they all required 7 - 10 days in TJ. That's too long for me to consider being away from home let alone in a foreign country. The extra expense of the TT being done locally was worth it for me to be at home and being able to have friends stop by to visit and check on me.
