Hola RS chicas!!!!
Sorry so long for update....its done. I am really happy about my results. Dra. Medina worked magic. I ended up getting a TT, and Lipo of entire thighs, back, flanks, waist, tummy, and armpits. No BBL!!! Dra Medina said my booty was so big already, she just want to shape it only. So she lipo all around and under booty cheeks.
I was originally suppose to have surgery 2/18, but she finished early that day, and ask me if I wanted to go...I took the "proverbial" little blue pill, and it took FOREVER to kick in. I took it around 1:30pm....nothing. They took me back to surgical suite....nothing finally after the FINE Dominicano (the scrub tech) who seemed to take a liking to me by holding my hand, and leaning me on his chest the whole time I was on the table before surgery...I fell asleep. I WOKE UP 3 times during surgery ladies!!!! It didn't hurt, and no pain, but I did wake up. They give you pain meds bin your back during surgery so I really didn't feel any pain until Thur. morning...the nurses use translator app to talk to you, they speak limited English, bit I speak some Spanish, so we all figured it out. The day nurses are much BETTER than the ones at night. We had to call for them like 4-6 times at clinic during night, they were very slow to come. Also be prepared to get poked like 3x minimum before they get IV in...
Also...really important Dra. assistant name is Stephanie she is the one who takes your surgery money, (although I think she works directly for the clinic)-she tried to come back to me a few hours later and say I did not give her the correct amount. Ladies I counted my money 3x in front of her, and made her count it again 2x in front of me...I told her she was not getting NO MORE MONEY, and to get out my room. BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THIS WHEN YOU MAKE IT TO CECICLIP, and she collect your money. In addition, please get your money in half hundred dollar bills, and twenties. This will be important when you are at clinic, and need to make change for your $150 required insurance, and for massages. Ladies have a website in mind for money/currency exchange calculator , this will become one of your best friends. It is better to use pesos while in DR, you get more for your money. $1 US is $44 Dominican pesos...plus NO one gives US dollars except bank, and you lose money if you exchange this way. If you go shopping or buy anything its in pesos. Bring a washcloth, most recovery houses only provide big towels, if you want to go out (to party) come 2 days before your surgery, because NO alcohol 24 hours prior to surgery. Sightsee your last few days here, go to Colonial Zona, to purchase ALL gifts & liquor to take home,,,,lots of local vendors there with more sentimental gifts.
Annie is Dra. Medina cousin and she did all our massages, she is GOOD they are $25, she is sweetheart like the Dra. Very funny too!
I added some pics!!! Update in a few days

2 days..
Ladies I am sooooooooo nervous! I dont know why...I have had multiple surgeries so I know what to expect. I can't wait to land in DR. We are going to eat some good food, and dancing on Mon. Night. Well l will post some arrival pics and of Dr. Medina office in a few days...send prayers up for my Mom & I, we both have surgery on 2/18.
16 days and counting...
We are leaving on the 16th....am SO EXCITED. I have so mannyyyyy wish pics I don't know which look I am going to go with! I found my last few pics and will make final decision by next week. I got the approval for PTO...whooohoo!!! In addition I did start the liquid diet, but had to abruptly stop. J got my first round of blood work back, and bad news!!!! My Hemoglobin level was ONLY 12.47....SO after speaking with Dra. Medina I have to double up on my Iron pills, and eat as many iron rich foods as possible. So I am supplementing my shakes 2 times daily, and eating iron rich healthty meals! I get my levels checked again today, and depend on results I may be able to try again next week. I only lost 5 lbs with no gym. We will see!!! My HIPAA already big, I hope to have nice ratio like this!
