You're obviously not clued in about all the lead and mercury found in Mexican candy.. because the old candy equipment was full of heavy metals.. Oh,,I am not even going to try and educate you..

I just thought you were harsh. Mexico is definitely not for most people. I goggled the candy, but it's always something isn't it?  Toys from china. Mexico is not for you. I get it. It was for me. I hope you find what you need.  Happy days!!

I was approved by my insurance for belly, boobs and arms.

I chose to do belly first. It was horrible and really affected me. No garment helped it look better.

My breasts are awful. But I can see that I chose well. My belly was pulled down so tight, it brought the boobs down even lower.

Thank god they get fixed in December!

Before you make a decision, I would def speak with your surgeon about what will happen to your chest if you do that first.

I did my boobs first and my tummy second... I still need to do my butt and thighs...  I just figured I'd work from the top down.  So far so good...  good luck.

 I would suggest tummy first if you have to stage them. I have heard stories of people that did boobs first and tummy tuck later and the tummy tuck actually pulled down on the breast lift and their lift dropped.

I agree with Renee. The tummy is a much more difficult surgery. I would want it done first, if I had to choose. Thankfully I did not and had them both done at the same time. Start having consults. Some surgeons have their own preference as to which to do first (or to do both at once).

 I would get the tummy done first, because your pants size is likely to change afterwards.  Buying a new wardrobe having just lost weight, and finding that you might have to replace in a year, is also expensive.  You can always get away looking ok in clothes before you get your boobs done by wearing push up bras, etc.

FWIW, your quote seems pretty high.  Even without traveling to Mexico you could find some place cheaper (maybe not in California)
