OMG!!
$4,300
So I went to my doc appt and found out that I am NOT PREGGO! WOOOOHOOO. I stil wouldve been excited to have all kids out before a tt. but i also saw that even with a tt your tummy goes back to normal.
Crazy I know! I took 4 at home preggo tests 1 that said no and 3 that said yes so I was like hmm okay. Went to my obgyn and confirmed that I am not, but he scheduled me for a follow up in 2 wks to make sure. But I AM still doing with Dr Pantoja. Getting lipo from full back, arms, love handles, tummy & possibly inner thighs and/or neck with a tummy tuck. They quoted me $4,800 which is amazing! It's only about $600 more from dr. cardenas but it was without the tummy tuck & no laser procedure for my scars from pregnancy.
SO WHO'S WITH DR PANTOJA IN 2014?!

SURPRISE SURPRISE!!
Welp. My husband just told me we were having another baby,. i thought to myself what? how do you .. why would you say that? lol he says well because the other night when .. blah blah blah he basically said he purposely impregnated me without telling me because he wants to have all our kids before i get my procedure done.
So i thought okay. why not?? I spoke with dr pantojas staff members and told them I was expecting and they told me they would hold my quote for 2 years!! AMAZING! my deposit and quote is good for 2 years!
im planning on getting a lipo of full back, arms, love handles, abdomens, inner thighs and a tummy tuck. possibly neck/chin depending on how my pregnancy goes. so I was quoted a grand total of $4,800. excluding all the extra necessities like gas, food, hotel etc etc ..
I thought okay so i have about 3 grand right now. i make pretty good money so in no time ill have the money i need. I'm looking to have at least an extra $1000-$1200 to bring on the trip and an additional $2000 in my acct so i dont come back flat broke from my procedure. I have two years! so it should be cake.
I'm anxious right now but so excited. so verrrry excited. Happy surgeon hunting to all the sistas getting surgery within the next year! cause now i gotta wait 2! oh well. at least the tummy tuck will be worth it since after this 2nd child we wont be having anymore kids.

Fresh start!
So .. Since I switched surgeons It gives me more time to have more money, accumulate more pto, get my blood work done before the surgery & renew my passport. But I know I can use 2 forms of Id like my permanent residency card and drivers license/social security card to get into Mexico. Right? Lol anywho
At least I still have my items that I bought intended for my sx on the 1st with dr cardenas for my new surgeon. I'm not sure if they require any additional items but hey I got it from the bbl list on here so I'm sure it's all the same.
Anybody recommend any hotels close to dr pantojas facility and where I can do labs for free or where I should go to see if my insurance will cover it?

Dr Pantoja includes labs in his quote so you can get them done at the office. I'm doing mines the same day as my sx. And yeah, getting a fresh start will allow you more time to save up and get everything squared away! Hotels close to Pantoja's office: Real Del Rio, City Express and Camino Real. The first two are literally a couple of blocks from the office. I'm leaning towards City Express because they have free local shuttle, so they'll take you to and from your appts. Camino does also but it's more expensive.

Oh well that's good then so the labs I don't need to worry About.
They said under no circumstances can there be any overnight guests but I want to be with my boo so idk if staying there overnight is mandatory I know it's more convenient but I don't see the point in being apart even for one night lol

I know right! I'm bringing my bf and I'm mad that he can't stay with me. But I think the first night is crucial so I'm gonna stay in the clinic. The nurse will probably direct your husband on post op care so when you leave, he'll be able to help more. I think my bf is just gonna stay as long as possible then go back to the hotel. And no I don't think it's mandatory, I mean they can't force you not to leave after your sx lol.

True I'm just torn between it lol I don't want him to be alone, it sounds like I'm babying him haha but he doesn't see the point since he wants to be with me for the first night. Idk I'll have to think about it cause I don't want to travel alone either.
Cause I mean what's he gonna do for a whole night lol

I was thinking about Cardenas, Pantoja and Campos since I live in Cali and Tijuana isn't that far. This has made me rethink my options omg I'm sorry that happened. So were you able to get your deposit back at all or are you just gonna suck it up as a loss? From the reviews I've read, Cardenas is great at TT but not so much at giving butts. I'll definitely be doing my research! And yeah I'd renew my passport if I were you. I wouldn't take any chances on not being able to get back to the states. Good luck girl, I hope Dr Pantoja works out for you. I'm gonna look him and Campos up!

November 4, 2013
Thanku! No I didn't get my deposit back and they didn't accept me to push it for jan. yes I saw maybe 2 success stories with cardenas but everyone has different body shapes so I had hope. But after that I just chose a different doctor.
I already got my quote with dr pantoja and they even offered to laser my stretch marks included in the quote. And it's $1000 less than the one I got with cardenas.
I know I read here than campos requires a minimum of a wk stay for recovery but I can't stay that long.
