Here I Come... - Mexico

Sooo ... I received my quote from Dr. Cardenas and I have to say it almost made me want to cry. I guess it's because she was being honest with me and giving me honest answers and not just telling me what I wanted to hear. She said she'd recommend a full Tummy Tuck - which is out of the question. I'm 21 and I don't have kids, it's no way I'll be having a Tummy Tuck. She says she understands that I don't want to get a TT because I'm young and don't have kids but she recommends aggressive liposuction to my upper and lower back, flanks, waist, abdomen and volume fat grafting to my butt and hips.And that sounds good to me. She also said, "I envision a nice result, curvier shape and will be imperative to you
to maintain your weight and work out hard in order to even improve
your result. This procedure is not a magic one."

The price she quoted me was $3800. Campos had quoted me $3498. So it's not too much of a difference. I had sent Cardenas wish pics and she basically told me look, you're not built like these women and you wouldn't be built like these women when I'm done but you're going to look good. Anyone who knows me, knows I respect and appreciate honesty regardless of how good or bad it is. So just by her saying what she did say made me feel good about switching to her. Must say the TT bit threw me off a bit. I'm not really surprised she said I'd need one, because in my head I know after I have kids I'm definitely going to need one. But just hearing it made me feel a bit bad to know that I'm 21 & w/o kids and I'm already a candidate for a TT -_-. Anyway, I have my deposit money but I'm just trying to workout some dates before I make a deposit.

I received my refund cheque in the mail from Dr. Campos' office today. It came faster than I thought it was. They had e-mailed me Friday letting me know the cheque had been sent and today here it is. My lazy postman didn't put it in the mailbox properly so my aunt walked outside and found it laying on the ground. I would've been pissed if it had blew away or something. Anyway, Cardenas office contacted me Saturday telling me she's been a bit busy but should be able to evaluate my pics and give me a quote within a week. So, now I'm just waiting patiently for her quote/evaluation.

It's only been four days and I'm still waiting on my quote from Dr. Cardenas but I already e-mailed Dr. Campos office asking about a refund. It sort of bothered me that once I mentioned I wanted to cancel my surgery they didn't bother to ask me why am I leaving, is there something they can do differently, etc. I asked about canceling and they we're like send your mailing address so we can e-mail your 50% deposit refund. Like seriously, that's it? Maybe I'm wrong but I just feel like they should've shown a bit of interest. Anyway, I'm trying to see if they can issue my refund some other way besides through the mail. Sending a check from Mexico to here doesn't seem safe. Waiting patiently to hear from Cardenas. I'll send Cardenas my deposit next month, after I find out what's going on with work. I'm hoping I can set my date for July and be able to stay two weeks at Beauty Care.
