    @ErniesMom863 How tall are you? It's pretty rare to see someone get surgery under 200lbs

    I am 5 feet tall. I had to have the surgery in Mexico due to a lowere bmi. I was just under the wire for bmi in the states.

    @ErniesMom863 I'm 25 months post op and have been thinking about skin surgery. I'm sure i have at least 20lbs of skin hanging off my body. I don't have a medical need for it so insurance won't pay. I know Mexico is an option. I'm from San Diego originally so I'm a little familiar with TJ. Does your doctor do skin removal too?

    I believe he does do skin removal and he was so wonderful with the kindest staff. Hi name is Dr. Kelly Ramos and I would absolutely recommend you call him. Let him know jeni lamberto referred you. Can't wait to have some plastics. Keep me posted !
