through out this whole time the ladies in the office have been emailing for updates, although all I ever get back is looks like it's healing well and you won't be able to tell the final for months yet.
I am amazed at my TT, however the lipo to my inner thighs is non existent. So disappointed and now I received an email that said it was discussed that my inner thighs would have very little taken so the skin would not sag. THAT IS BLATANTLY NOT TRUE. Dr. P also did my under arms with laser lipo and they look good... but the whole look is kind of ruined with the thunder thighs I am left with. My suggestion would be do not give Dr. P. too much to concentrate on at one time.

Unbelievable
I have had my tummy tuck and lipo procedure. Each and EVERY person I had contact with was amazing. Everyone who works in Dr. Pantoja's office and operating room are amazing, caring individuals. All were kind and professional while still managing to make you feel like the most important patient there. Then on to the recovery house; Our Friends House. Once again everyone, without exception were the most caring people I have every come across. I can not say enough about these people!! They all love their jobs and it shows. If you are sitting on the fence worrying about coming to Mexico for surgery... fret no more. Choose Dr. Pantoja and Our Friends House and you will never regret taking this step.

Are you going to add post surgery pics?
I have narrowed my decision to Dr. Pantoja. Will schedule for August. Can you please tell what pain meds you were on and what prescriptions for pain meds he gave you. This is my greatest fear. I expect pain of course but not unbearable pain as to the pain meds won't be sufficient. How long were your drains in also. When I had gastric sleeve my major pain was from my drain. As soon as it was removed my major pain was gone.
I bet you look amazing

A little apprehensive & not impressed.
3 weeks ago I sent a medical form to Dr. Pantoja's office and said I must have it back before May. This is a form that will allow me to have light duties at work for a few weeks after my Tummy Tuck. I have a job where you are walking all day and bending over hospital beds, etc. The union here says the form for light duties needs to be in 30 days before your surgery.
Today is May 2 (23 days before surgery) and I still do not have this form. On thursday when I did not have it back I sent an email to Dr. P's office and got a response that he was out of the office for the week at some national conference!!! WHAT!!!!
This has potential to interfere with my job as well as my recovery. I am going all out having major lipo and a tummy tuck. Spending $9,000 to 10,000 is a big deal for me and to think maybe I would be better off with the results if I stood on the street and threw 20s at people going by. If I go back to work full on I may affect my results and lengthen my recovery time.
I am so not impressed and yes, probably over reacting BUT I did my part. I gave them plenty of time to fill out the forms I required and now my employer may have the opportunity to deny my light duty return to work request all because of paperwork. Good thing I am not rating my experience today.
