WORTH IT$4,000
I'm 46 yrs old and had VSG in Mexico with Dr. Illan on 8/31/13. I was 326lbs and now am sitting at 181lbs. My arms have always been the worst part of my body in my opinion. I couldn't wear a lot of jackets and coats because of my arm size. My grandmother and mother had this problem as well but of course my weight was the number one issue. I'm SO HAPPY to finally be getting my arm lift. I've worked hard at the weight loss and this is my one year surgeriversary gift to me! Dr. Juan Pablo Cervantes in TJ, mexico.

Wow! My Arm lift story
So I had my surgery on 9/1/14 with Dr. Cervantes. I chose to have my surgery at Florence Hopsital since my husband was having VSG surgery with Dr. Illan. This way we were able to share a room. From the minute I stepped into Dr. Cervantes' office I was greeted with such caring and warmness. I did my consultation online so we meet the morning of surgery for bloodwork and to discuss the procedure. He took his time to explain the entire process from start to finish and what I could expect. His office is located in Hospital Angeles Tijuana and is a top of the line hospital. It's such a beautiful hospital. My surgery was scheduled to begin at 3pm and once we were ready Dr. Juan Carlos Flores-Carrillo a specialist in Anesthesiology came in to explain and ask questions about what type of anesthesicolgy we would use and ask about prior surgeries. He also took his time and I knew I was in the right hands. The entire staff is this way! My husband said the Dr's came in after surgery and explained how everything went. The drains really are not a big deal and there is no pain at all in removing them. Dr. C explained how to wrap my arms and step by step instructions on aftercare. I'm to take weekly pics for him and if any question arise he will be available for me to assist. I feel 100% sure I chose the right surgeon and team for my surgery! The care you receive from this team is amazing! I stayed in Tijuana from 8/31/14-9/5/14. I felt well enough to go out for lunch on 9/3/14 and dip my toes in the ocean. Our last full day there we went out to lunch and dinner as well. Thank you so much Dr. Cervantes you have made my dreams come true!!! God Bless you :)

Thank you for your arm lift story. Your weight loss was amazing. I've always had big arms and will be having gastric sleeve surgery on Sept. 15th. Since I already have some 'bat wings' I'm hoping to have this surgery by next summer after I get & keep the weight off. Thanks again for all the info and enjoyed seeing your beautiful smiling face.

Where did you stay? Was the hospital clean? How was his beside manner? Did you feel safe in Tijuana? I keep hearing good things about this doctor, but going to Tijuana totally freaks me out!

I had my VSG surgery in Tijuana 8/31/13, my daughter 1/18/14& hubby 9/2/14. I had arms done 8/1/14 and hubby & I shared a room. We chose Florence Hospital bc that's where our sleeve dr works. We love it and very clean! He normally works at a much fancier state of the art hospital. If you google him it takes you to that hospital . Hospital Angelas. very nice!!!

Im sooooo happy for you. Your arms look great. I think I'm going to be the same way, staring at myself in mirrors, in disbelief. Might have to fog the mirror with a hot breath, and wipe it clean to make sure I'm not seeing things! Im having my arm lift in just 12days!
