*****EDITED REVIEW***** After an infection broke out and i almost died i have adjusted the rating because i have not once hear from the surgeon. Laura has continuously attributed my concerns and complications to "normal" swelling or something i must be doing wrong like not wearing the right garment. They have shown no real concern for my post operative conditions and emergency surgery i had yesterday for the 300cc's of pus that had developed. But with that said i just emailed them about the surgery. But not a single inquiry or phone call has been made regarding my health since the last email 3 days ago when i was hospitalized.

You look amazing! Sorry you had to go through all that. Geez
My question is what did the Mexican doctors do wrong? Was it a infection they cause with unclean practice or was it because Un available after care?
We can only speculate but we know now that he did not leave enough tissue for it to heal properly and it was infected
I am glad you are healed and looking great!!! infections can happen on any type of procedure whether here in the states or Mexico. That is a shame that they showed you no compassion, but there was really nothing they could do if you were out of town, unless you planned on going back to Mexico. This is the only dilemma with going out of town for surgery, but in my case I have insurance in US, so my insurance would have paid for any complication after surgery, If I would have had any complication in mexico I would have had to pay out of pocket. I really think Dr's in Mexico do a better job, in my opinion they have more experience just because they are cheaper and more people will travel for a better price. I did, and I will go back to mexico for any of my future endeavors. I work in a hospital in the US, and the hospital here are disqusting,
Omg! Thank goodness you are doing well. How did the infection get so bad? Does ur insurance cover all that care that you needed here in the us? I pray that you are well!
The tummy tuck was done to tight. The wound kept seperating so it was vulnerable to infection. My insurance did cover the complications but from what i have been told some insurances wont
Good thing ur ok now. And u are warning others to not have surgery in TJ Mexico or anywhere like that. I think that's why some should wait to post their results because most people that are going there to save money always defend the surgeons out there and then later have complications. Thankfully you could still come on here and admit they did yours wrong. That surgeon should have to pay for all your hospital fees and surgery And time off work. That's crazy they get away with all this just because they aren't in the states

Looking so muh better. How are you feeling? Are you able to work now?
Ues, working again. Sorry for late responses. Thank you for all the emotional support!
So happy to see you are doing better. The wound looks like it's getting smaller. You're a such a strong woman, I pray you will completely heal!!
Thank you so much!
Your incredibly strong...have you thought about writing a book about what you went through...because I am sure there are a lot of men and women out there today that would find that this information (there just isnt enough available) and you have been very informative and very "kind" in the way you have worded things. I look at you and your stunning and I mean your gorgeous! and then I see all that you have gone through and not to mention the emotional trauma and I think you could have a really amazing book that people would want to read! Just a thought....you never know it may help you in a therapeutic way while you write ? who knows right? Sending a whole bunch of love and positive thoughts your way!

Please stay away from this surgeon and mexico!

Your life is more important. Not all mexico doctors are bad but their standards are much different than those here in the united states. Ive lost 6 months of my life thus far and still have a long healing journey ahead of me.

2 hospitalizations and surgies later i have well exceeded $40,000 in post operative care.

The $7800 to go to tj, was change and lets not forget my inability to work.

Please dont make the same mistake i did.

Thank you so much for your review. Wish you all the best for the future [RS bleep]
Thanks hun
I am glad you have said this. Mexico does not have the same standards as US hospitals. I see so many young gals going out of the country for these surgeries, and it scares me. You NEED to have access to the person who did your operation
Really sad... I am glad you are recovering well. You llok lovely. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for posting this warning. I don't know where you are now but I appreciate your sharing your journey more than you know. I hope that you are safe, well and happy.
OMG how were you able to come up with all that money? I'd be screwed if I had to pay that much to correct someone else's mistake! :-O
