Was cost the main driver for you to go to Mexico for the PS?
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Cost was a part of it, but having surgery done with an epidural and twilight sedation, allows Dr Sauceda to be in the OR longer so that he could do my LBL, BL, arms, medial thigh lift. I was in the OR about 12 hrs. Came out and felt great. Talked to both my mom and daughter letting them know I was ok. I was also in a 24/7 clinic for 7 days as I also had a full neck and face lift 4 days after my body work. Then I went to the hotel for 7 days, and Paty, Dr S's RN came by daily to help me shower and put on ointment/gauze and back into my garments. Dr S also stopped by the clinic and the hotel almost every day. You also get his cell number to call him if you have any problems.
I didn't like the idea of having an LBL here and being sent home with a pain pump. I live by myself and was 58 when I had my first PS. I had most of my body and face work done for what some folks pay for an LBL here in the states. The care is really amazing.
We do have a closed FB group too - BodyBySauceda

The all-inclusive was really nice. The only out of pocket was for food while at the hotel. Plus, any shopping that I wanted to do. Garments, pain meds, gauze, ointment (did pick up a few more tubes at the HEB while I was there)... There were no additional costs for the clinic, hotel or the doctor. I did tip the hotel maids, and the RN that came daily to help me.
