Hello, I have booked to go to Mexico on 22nd April, 2013. I was there last May 2012 for a VSG, I loved it so much that I decided to go back for a tummy tuck and some lipo. if anyone is interested in sharing stories or space (staying at Club Med) please get in touch with me via here.

I have lost 105lb and am pretty saggy, my goal is to not have to keep pulling my top down to hide my belly and I am confident and excited about the surgery!

Well I am two days out and feel fantastic. I had an extended tummy tuck, lipo and a little fat grafting, Dr Cardenas removed 18 lb of skin from my stomach plus lipo on top. I cried when I first saw my stomach I could not believe that was me! It was an amazing experience all round, everyone was wonderful and Dr Candernas is beautiful as is Fatimeh.
Great review?

I'm in my 50's and want to get an extended TT and lipo. I've lost almost 90 lbs and a hot mess! I'm glad it went well for you and can't wait to see your incision! Dr. C does great work from what I've seen.
