Miss JT's BBL Journey - Dominican Republic, DO

I been contimplating writing about this for quite sometime... I wasn't going to but now that the day is so near I need a support group and too vent!
I been researching and wanting this procedure for yearsss! 4yrs to be exact. I hate my flat back! Lol I'm latina so I got hips but that's it! So I got a wide square flat back lol...


Anyways I finally got serious and put my foot down and decided to do it in the new year. New Year New Me! I was initially going with Dr. Sacristan in Colombia but ended up going with Dr. Yily. Both are really good doctors and I would of been happy with either or.


So my surgery is Feb 26th, 19 days away!!! And I'm staying at Jacqueline's Recovery Home. Nerves are kicking in and I'm starting to get scared about the recovery process... It sounds like it takes forever to feel like u 100% again. I just hope it all worth it in the end. As of now I been taking my pre-op vitamins, I bought a second garment size med (hope that was a good choice), have my flight good to go, and sent yily my deposit almost 2 weeks ago (still hasn't picked it up *rolls eyes) all my packing I'll do last min cause that's how I do lol...
I'm traveling alone which sucks balls :( but this is what I want and I don't expect anyone to come with me... But it would be nice.


*Could any of the ladies who travelled alone to DR let me know how the flights went? I don't know what to tell immigration about why I'm traveling alone to DR for 10days. Did you tell them u were getting surgery? Or just say ur going on vacation?


* Did anyone buy the insurance for $250 want to know if its worth it? Trying to do some last min budgeting!
*If you had to choose one or the other: Squeem or Epi foam?
Lastly (for now :p) has anyone one bought there meds in DR but NOT from yily. How much did it come out too? I know she charges $250...

Thanks ladies and I'll keep you all posted on this journey of mine!! :)

So 4 days until I'm off to DR!
The nerves are real! I'm both excited and scared all at the same time!
I know I'll be fine just hope I'm prepared for it all...
So I'm still going solo but I convinced my bf to come down after my surg :D LOVE HIM!! He could only stay a couple of days so I changed my flight and will be returning back home with him. I was initially staying 10 day but cut it down to 8... Hope it won't be a problem.
I'm done shopping and will be packing sometime this weekend. Actually I lied need to buy canesten cause I WILL get a yeast infection with the antibiotics :s and gatorade. Currently I have purchased: second garment, Foam Invalid Ring cushion, fajate board wrap, all vitamin, arnica gel and cream, pads, pill organizer, polysporin for itch and the antbiotic ointment, gauze and medical tape, dial antibacterial bodywash, nutrament cans, andddd candy :)

Wish me luck ladies!

Made it out of surg! Really sore and stiff... Pain is at a 5-6... I got here yesterday at 6am and finished my sugery at 11pm! They were really busy had to wait until 4-5pm to get my room... Yily is :O beautiful wit a killer bod... She kinda entimidating but really sweet! Surgery was something... And I wouldn't do it again lol. I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride and was sooo high... I actually was up for half of my lipo! It wasn't painful just weird :s I finally K.O when the did the front cause I don't recall anymore... The faja I brought was to big and for like a tummy tuck they said... The faja I'm wearing now is like armor! Hard, thick,tighttt!!
I did see my stomach and my pooch is gone :) Anyways I'm done for now update later on when I'm at the recovery house!

Hey... I been having the after surgery blues... I like my flat stomach and waist... My bum isn't what I wanted it to be...from the side I have no projection! Still a flat back... But if u look at it from the back it looks better and more round and plump... I feel like I should of stressed to her about my bum more... I feel like after all the swelling goes fully down I'll be back to the same bum as before... *Sigh... On the up side atleast my stomach and waist have improved

Great review?

I sent my deposit a few weeks ago also. I confirmed and she said thanks for confirming. Hopefully I'm set to go. What day will you be flying down? I'm going to fly down Monday. Not sure where I will stay yet. I haven't heard from her recently. I did email her a couple of days ago. I understand she's busy but I want to make sure I'm set to go.
miss_jt 12 Feb 2013
I'm leaving the 25th and I'm having surg on the 26th... I sent my deposit over 2 weeks ago... She confirmed my dates but has yet to pick it up! I'm annoyed and anxious about that... I'm staying at JM recovery home... Her responding really sucks makes this process sooo much more stressful... Oh well Let me know what u end up doin cause I'm travelling alone... Maybe we can buddy up :)
CDW0509 12 Feb 2013
