I have been reading and following many of you on here the past year and have finally decided to go ahead and do it! I just booked my appointment with Dr. Cardenas and I am so excited and nervous. Initially I was just going to have a tummy tuck but the Dr. Cardenas recommended the lipo and fat graft to my butt for the best outcome. I hear so many different stories about liposuction and I wonder if it is safe for me because I have mild high blood pressure (but is controlled with medication). I trust she knows what shes doing. I am on my way today to get my blood work and EKG! Wish me luck...

I am excited and nervous...everything is ready. I faxed over my blood work and ekg and eveything looks good! I wonder how many surgeries Dr. Cardenas performs in one day. I hope I am the first one in to get it over with, haha. I plan on posting before and afters just have to figure out how. Does anyone know if US customs gives people a hard when you tell them you are oging over to Tijunana for surgery? I heard they ask more questions when coming back. I am going back to Canada so I am not sure what I tell them about this trip, do i say I am travelling for surgery or for leisure?? I dont need them trying t stop me from going to Tijuana or asking me 100 questions when upon my return...or maybe they see this all the time and I have nothing to worry about. Can someone please tell me there experience with customs and what they told them....

I am booked for May 20. My surgery is at 8 am. Fatimeh said ill be the first one of the day. I get the tt and breast implants. You can ask them what time you going in and what turn you get. Where are you coming to get the surgery from? Have no worries at all from customs when leaving. Mexican customs will only stop you if u get red light which is rare but if you get stopped they will only check to see if you are taking new things to sell loke clothes, shoes, perfume, or electronics. Dont worry at all. When going back make sure dr. C gives you a medical pass so you dont have to wait in line for hours. Just say you had surgery or went to the doctor. Dont worry about that either!

I will have to ask them what time mine is...I am very curious. I never knew about medical pass so thanks for that tip :). Thanks for the info..I wont have to worry about Mexican and US customs...I hear its Canadian customs that are hard to deal with when I arrive back in Canada...strangely enough.

Because I am staying at the recovery house they include drives there and back. They will be picking me up at San Diego Airport and taking me to Recovery house the day before my surgery and after I stay at BCRH for 10 days they will drive me back across the border to the airport.

Oh thats good. Ill only stay two nights I think. I live in San Diego and my sister will be taking me there and back. Are you gonna have someone with you? I think 3 nights is enough, i dont know if i should stay more days

I think 3 nights is ok since you live close by. If something came up you could easily drive back. I have to make sure things are good before going back to Canada...I have noone staying with me. Do you?

Well I don't think anyone is allowed to stay with me overnight, do you know? More like my sister visiting me and going back to sleep inside usa.

Hello girly's I am so excited this week for my surgery. I have been taking my vitamins and exercising 6 days a week. I go through phases of excitement and fear! I started reading about people who had tummy tucks and are battling on going infections....this scares me so much. I am hoping the Cipro they give will whelp keep infection away. Can anyone share their experience with the spinal anesthesia? Do you remember being in the or? Did you feel numb right up to your chest? Do they sedate you first and you not remember anything?? LOL I am such a chicken BUT I am not backing down. ***TEAM CARDENAS***
