Hi everyone. I'm leaving NY on Jan 11 and it looks like I'll be alone. My surgery date is Jan 12. Is anybody else in a similar predicament. I could really use company,I have a double room at Real Recovery Armonia that we could go half on. I'm so nervous but I don't want to postpone my surgery.

Btw,I am 5'5 and I weigh 146-150 lbs. I'm thinking about gaining a few pounds for the fat transfer... Maybe get to 155 lbs.
I don't want to look done,this summer I have seen so many bodies that screamed plastic surgery. No shade...while I think obviously done bodies look good,I know I don't have the personality to handle all the attention that comes with it. I want a body that says daaamn she has a cute shape... not daaamn I wonder who she went to.
I collected so many curvespo pics that I truly wonder what my new hobby will be once I have my dream body. More dream body pics to come...

I'm a 21 year old mom of 1. After lurking for a while I decided to just bite the bullet and post about my own plastic surgery journey. I'm hoping to help someone like the many post on here and makemeheal have helped me. I am scheduled to get my surgery done on Jan 12 2015.
My family/boyfriend are so nervous about me traveling out of the country for surgery and honestly I'm a bit nervous myself but I'm gonna proceed and pray that everything works out for the best.
I am getting silicone breast implants (thinking 350ccs subfascial),tummy tuck, lipo of the abs/back/waist/inner knee(I have this weird patch of fat there) and fat injections to the hips and lateral booty.
I got my quote through Bella Vita Consultants and paid my $250 deposit to Duran and for the Recovery Armonia recovery home. My mom is supposed to accompany me but I'm uncertain that she will be able to get the time off,so I'm a bit nervous but if I must go myself I will.
My current measurements are 36(across the nipple,I am a deflated 34b cup),30(waist),40(widest part of hips).
My goal post op measurements are 38(hoping to wear a 34d bra)-26-42.
While I love my booty at its current size, I have always hated the dents in my lateral buttocks/hip area. Before the birth of my daughter my tummy was my pride and joy,now... not so much. I feel like I'm too young to give up my bikini wearing days and I'm ready to have the body of my dreams!

How much are you paying for your surgery?
July 9, 2014
$6500 for the surgery itself, $150 for post op meds and $130 for mandatory medical insurance.

July 9, 2014
Oic $6500... sorry didn't scroll right. So I'm guessing it's cheaper to go to DR to get these procedures done. :)
July 9, 2014
Much cheaper. I got quotes from Dr. jimerson in Atlanta and just lipo and a butt lift alone cost more than my entire surgery. I also got quotes from Drs in Tijuana and the prices are getting up there. I got 1 quote from a mexican Dr for almost 10k.

July 9, 2014
but doesn't it cost about the same once you figure in price of airfare and RH accommodations?
July 9, 2014
Um, the airfare is about $900,the recovery home is about $1400 for 2 people/12 days... So all together it will cost close to $8500 which is cheaper than the quotes I got from Drs in the states.


July 10, 2014
Hey babe I hope all is well on ur journey. Ill be using Duran as my doc as well. I'm going in March, depending on where ur coming from u may find a cheaper price for ur plane tickets.. try spirit or jet blue.
July 10, 2014
Hey, hope yours goes well too. I will definitely keep the review update. I'm coming from NY, thanks for the advice. I actually forgot to add that's round trip for me and my mother.

July 10, 2014
Ook well then that's a good price lol. Thought it was just for u. An yes I'm coming from ny as well so believe me Ive been checking the prices. But ill follow ur updates as well.
July 10, 2014
Wish we had the same day! I actually just checked again and if I'm alright with a 3 hr layover I'm Mia and leaving from/returning to Newark I can pay $565 for both. That price is enticing but idk about that long a layover. What do you think?

July 10, 2014
I think its a little long but if u do that going I would want my flight back to not make any stops because u will still be in some pain, plus dragging suitcases etc. But if u have netflix an some wifi u should be ok lol for the 3 hrs lol

July 10, 2014
Hey babe just looked at spirit and its 350-400 each way and depending on which day u go it can be drastically cheaper. Some days have 70. Less an 90. Less. Look into it when u get a chance. An yes I wish I had someone to go with but my funds won't be together until feb- march plus I graduate during that time as well. U can follow my journey as well hun
July 10, 2014
I understand, after my surgery my money will be looking extra funny but I have to do it during the little break in between semesters :-/ congratulations. I definitely will follow your journey.

July 11, 2014
Please help me with flight arrangements. I have been on expedia and troop
Tickets are not cheap.
July 12, 2014
Try searching flights on Google, it is very comprehensive. Where are you leaving from?


July 12, 2014
Thanks so much for your help. Well I live in Indiana and no flights out/either company.

July 10, 2014
How long did it take to get a quote from Duran through Bella Vita ?
July 10, 2014
About 3 days, they are awesome. You have to be prompt with sending your pics and filling out the client agreement form, if you want a fast quote.

Please remember to ask for a wheelchair at each airport; even when you get home. The wheelchair and attendant will be waiting for you right outside of the plane. They take your passport and tickets and do absolutely everything for you - check you in and take you to your connection, come back for you after a lay over, get your luggage from baggage claim and get you thru customs. I had to do that just last week on a 22 hour overseas trip with some terrible tight connection times. It's a wonderful service and all airports must have this service built into the price of each ticket for people who need it. My husband tipped each attendant, but they did not linger around like hotel bellboys waiting for it. So, no stress for added trip cost to you. We would have certainly missed connecting flights if not for these attendants. They were wonderful and so, so kind. Use this service so you don't strain your yourself and slow down your healing. You don't have to have the request for this service printed on your ticket (which I thought was the case). I just asked for it when I needed it. The best of luck to you!!
