No Dr Sauceda is affiliated with a full service totally modern hospital .
He assigned a nurse to me post op and she cane to the hotel twice a day to change dressings and help me bathe - I felt so good after 3 days I flew home !
it was a little difficult to manage the post op compression garments and washing them every day at home but my fiancé helped a lot also with showering and washing hair and we got through it together ... he actually said it was kind of hot ... like having a life size inflatable doll :0 
My experience is insurance will pay a very limited amount for very limited surgery ... they will pay for a panni removal for regaining mobility but not a tummy tuck . So you still end up paying to look good !
I found a great surgeon in Mexico for about 1/2 the price .. a real artist . I felt safe cared for and he really made me look and feel beautiful at a reasonable price . I could have tried to get similar surgery partially paid for in the US through insurance - but I would have paid more for less than by simply medical touristing to Mexico.
I really want to do my breasts and stomach done but so afraid of recovery process. Drainage tubes and pain...help
It went great! I did another post 6 weeks ago, lots of info. :)

Hi, I still can not believe how incredible you look. I looked up your surgeon and saw the before and after photos and his work is amazing. Many people had skin resurfacing and stuff. Did you have anything like that.

Pain wise it was much easier.
You did have to wear arm compression- so I would try to do it the beginning of summer. You have to wear them a month and they are hot.
And I really did need to keep my arms elevated as much as possible or I got terrible swelling. Sometimes I would be on laptop and only have one arm elevated and the one I was using got swollen.
Overall highly recommend!

How was your experience with the arm lift? I may do that next summer, again with Dr. Michaels.

Documenting the skin infections should help a lot. Please keep us updated. I have my fingers crossed and sending good vibes for your insurance approval.
