No to pantoja for tummy tuck I stayed in the states!
$3,600
I didn't go over seas for my tummy tuck because I felt it was too extreme of a procedure to do in a different country so I went to dr Williams near my home I have zero complications sometimes I'm in pain when I'm not taking my meds but over all I'm perfectly fine my surgery was this pass Monday I got my first drain taken out Friday my next drain will be Monday. I'm using the restroom perfectly fine everything is good I felt 5-6k difference wasn't worth my health which is why I decided to stay in the states! Now I may plan to go over seas for a breast job and more lipo if I have to in October but I'm not rushing it! I'm considering dr over Tijuana I've been hearing bad reviews about that place lately! I wish you well! Honey! Ciao!

Well I seem my regular dr and he protested that I needed to correct my spine before going to get lipo suction! My problem!
I have scoliosis
If the degrees are higher then 60 the patient requires surgery to fix the problem!
Mine equals to 73 degrees! (Wheew)
So now I have to pull back on my trip to dr pantoja and put forth getting surgery on my back!
The dr says if it continues I won't be able to carry children my internal organs will not be ok and my balance in my legs will get worse!
I am a very clumsy person I trip probably 8x a day!
My condition is very depressing because I can't sleep well!
I always have sudden shocks in my back!
When it rains I have the worst back aches
And I'm always falling lol! (I find it hilarious sometimes)
Only good outcome ill be 2-5 inches taller!
I'm ok with 2inches! 5 inches is pushing it!
Lol
Well keep me in your prayers you guys and I wish u well and a safe journey!

I'm still looking forward to pantoja in Tijuana! I hope I'm not asking a stupid question but is pantoja in Mexico City or Tijuana mx my research shows Mexico City & Tijuana is quite bit a distance! Another thing I'm greatly wishing for a good job my problem I have horrible stretch marks for having my daughters! And I really hope my results are half way decent considering in not doing the tummy tuck! My hips are 43 inches for butt injections a year ago so I'm not doing the bbl I'm only doing lazor lipo! I want to consider a breast lift but I'm not sure!
What is a good recovery home in Tijuana that service dr pantoja and the airport???
I'm looking to book in April for my birthday I wish sooner but I know that's not possible!
Thanks RealSelf Community!

Hey girl, u shld fly into san diego its way cheaper & club med is a great recovery home. And the dr. Is in tj not mexico city lol..&& ur results are gonna be bangin ;)

February 20, 2013
@ booty4thiscutie... have u been there b4? Idk how far is TJ from San diego. Either way i checked the flight N they over $900 n some $1000 n change from NY to MX and you got to make over 4 hr layover. ridiculous. I also was quote $3600. but i think of staying at the recovery house for 3 days then move to one of the hotel Nadia DR p assistant sent me cause my husband will meet me there after 3 days.

February 20, 2013
Fly into San Diego an which ever recovery house you choose shoulf include transport from San diego. Its not common for people to fly directly into MX because of the cost. If the recovery house doesnt have a driver Nadia can arrange one for you for 60-75.. TJ is about 15 mins from the airport


February 20, 2013
Are you looking at decent site I found flights for 450 round trip! That doesn't sound bad to me!!!!

February 22, 2013
hey girl, nadia just set up my ride to and from the airport for 60 each way. Just ask her, if you need one.


February 22, 2013
delta.com to book from NY to tijuana mexico. is almost $1000. i didnt know abt flying into san diego which i found cheaper. but b4 i was just looking for flight straight to tijuana mexico mayb dats why it was that much. But now i found other helpful info....like flying to san diego n make the rh which i will be staying @ come get me which i found very reasonning and that will help save more money.

February 22, 2013
@Goddess2013, fly into San Diego...that's where all surgeons in TJ suggests you do anyway...and, yes the RH picks you up and drops you off...I think the Hotels also offer pickup/dropoff...but, if you are coming from NY it will be best to stay at a RH unless you are getting a nurse....

February 23, 2013
Some do I think, i'm staying at the real del rio which does not. Most of the hotel transportation you have to pay either way for as far as I know.

February 23, 2013
@ImmaJusDoIt. yes hun thanks. thats what i will do i will stay at Grace Baja Guest House- Owner Lana Humphries. They do offer pick up and drop off service included. @120 a night. $100 if you had a sx buddy. Nt bad

February 23, 2013
@goddess2013, look into club med too...Nadia gave me Grace and Club med...club med gives you options starting at 5 nights....grace gives you nightly options and then a weekly option of $900...and, Club Med offers pickup/drop off too...

February 23, 2013
Hey you live in atl I do to can you please help me im tryin to go get some work do to please

February 23, 2013
@Goddess2013, last week of July or first week of Aug...I am still researching...but, its gonna be Dr P (in TJ) or Dra Robles (in DR)...aint looking at nobody else...

February 23, 2013
I was about to go with dr yilly at 1st but its so hard to communicate with her because her assistant when i called after 3 weeks after sending an email for my quote, she apologize and said sorry the reason why they where taking so long its cause they were getting more then 200 emails a day, still after waiting so long. Ive learned about DR P. through realself. igogle him, make some research about him I see alot of great result his patient had with him. i sent him a email with my picture and request a quote for a bbl. An 1h later Nadia his assistant contacted with a quote and been helpful ever since responded to all my email in time i didnt have to wait months for answers the booking was fast, DOnt get me wront dr yilly is talented as well. but i takes too long for a response. because i wanna have my sx in late april.

February 23, 2013
I understand...that's why I stopped lookn into Dr Yily...plus, my main concern is my tummy n breast...I don't care about the booty cause I got that...its not as round as when I was in my 20 s...LOL

Is there a wait at the border if you are being transported via (taxi) driver?

I'm staying at clubmed and they are picking me up at San Diego airport.


February 23, 2013
I'm staying for 14 nights with clubmed and 2 nights with pantoja. I'm getting alot done so I want to stay and make sure I'm okay. It's $1650 for the 14 nights. All I need is a change of clothes and PJs and they deal with the rest.

February 23, 2013
@joinkette, that's good....I am gonna stay 1 week cause I am in driving distance...and, Dr P offers unlimited post op visits....YAY!!!!

February 23, 2013
Yeah that's nice you can see him after. I hopefully never have to go back lol I am still really up and down about getting a BBL. one day I want it then the next I don't :( and this will continue until July!
