I had wound healing issues with every reconstructive surgery i had in Israel. Although my hmo covered all costs (aside from my personal traveling expenses as the hospital was three hours away from my home city) after i appealed my procedures were 'minimalistic' in the sense that my tummy tuck officially was an,apronectomy but as i am short and so is my torso-my apronectomy approved by the hmo became a type of tummy tuck,once i was on the operating table and when a year later i applied and appealed for a breast reduction, the 'highers up' in,my hmo,system claimed that i had a full tummy tuck when they had only approved me for apronectomy.
Apronectomy i think is synonymous with panniculectomy and with both my surgeruss here in Israel i,had wound healing issues.
This past November after filong for reconstructive plastic surgery for my inner thighs with my hmo and being denied aswell as consulting privately with a PS who only works privately- i,realized if i really want my inner thighs to look more normal, and i considering taking out aloan to,pay privately: i sent emsil with very detsiled medical surgical situation and picsof my body to Dr Francisco Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico to get aquote from him.
That quote from DrS included his driver picking up from,the airport and after my surgery+recovery time also a taxi,to,the airport;12 days after surgery (each procedure may have different amout of days there; my inner thighs in a long thigh lift was considerd; in a hotel to slowly recuperate .
One arrives a day before surgery to get acclimated and when driver picks you up from the airport he is holding a sign with our name and what time to be ready later that day (and to make sure we take a shower before we meet him) for DrS to pick,up and meet us in his office as if we are meeting him for the very first time as he talks with us about our medical history that we have already sent him and then he matks our body up for whatever procedures we are having the bext day and we will only be able to,shower agsin after a certain amount of time after the surgery snd with the help of a nurse in the private clinic.
Once back in the hotel, DrS nurse Paty comes to each patient to help them shower and dress our incisions put on the compression garment (DrS gives us two compression garments so that we wesr one and wash one which helps for better surgical hygiene). These two sets of compression garmentsand Paty coming daily (either before or after her nursing shift at the hospital where we have our surgery.
The hotel also serves breakfast of rolls, pastries, fresh fruits, fruit,yogurts, milk and dry ceresls, and a big heated vat of scrambled eggs (sometimes on their own but more often than not also with ham/bacon).
We have an option for a recliner and small fridge in our hotel room. Out the periphery of the hotel are a restaurants as well as out the back door and across the parking lot there is a shopping mall eith HEB (like Costco), and i sawa healtg food shop there abd ice cream place,clothing and shoes shops snd a mobie theatre. What we choose to buy in shopping is our own budget however DrS quote includes all,m of the above and i think teice aweek,is Happy Hour evening 'snack meal' thst includes cut veggies and cold drinks (sodas and beers), simple potato chips and peanuts and everything has hot sauce available for those who are used to it- which is not me.
I stayed an extra day or two due to my airline travel connections to,return to Israel.
AlAll of this in DrS quote to me plus my arline tickets was 1/4 of what i would have had to pay had i decided to go with the private PS in Israel with only one night in hospital and follow-up apptmt but in a hospital more thsn three hours away from where i live and only one compression garment.
I am already fantasizing a future trip back to DrS to complete my reconstructive journey of removal of exceas skin to a body thst is more normal. I will trade blubber jelly belly hanging pendulum breasts for scars any day. But first i have to finish off pating back the bank before i can,plan another trip although i have written with DrS and emailed him,the pucs of what else he can do to improve my body ; after so many years of being morbidly obese most of us get real,bodily improvements but not necessarily perfection.

Good to hear from you! I am sorry for my late response. Pretty busy these past few days. Hoping for the success of your next op, :) Cheers and congrats in advance.
