2 days post op - Dr. Campos

ORIGINAL POST

Hello friends, I am so nervous and excited at...

GlamDollFebruary 20, 2013

WORTH IT$4,645

Hello friends,

I am so nervous and excited at the same time. I scheduled my surgery date with Dr. Campos in Tijuana, Mexico for February 28, 2013. I will be getting lipo on my stomach, upper and lower back, then have the fat transferred to my buttocks and hips.

I was charged $4,445 by Angie (Dr. Campos' assistant). I will be flying from New York to San Diego and will be picked up at the airport and driven to Tijuana by a representative of Club Med. I chose Club Med because of the great reviews I found here on RealSelf and also because it is located on the beach and I want to feel like I'm on some sort of a vacation. I will be staying at Club Med for 8 days and was charged $1,050.

I would love to hear from you guys. Any advice on what I should pack will be greatly appreciated. Also, if you guys have any question, feel free to ask. I will post pics soon. xo

Congrats on ur new journey. Wow you only have 8 days left. ..I so excited for you! I will be following you and can't wait to see your results. Your in good hands, Campos is a great doctor!

February 21, 2013

Hey glamdoll, I'll be seeing you there soon xoxo

February 21, 2013

Thank you so much! I'm very excited but also very paranoid. I hope everything goes well.

February 21, 2013

When are you scheduled for surgery and are you staying at Club Med?

February 21, 2013

Thank you so much Sanduran86, I'm very excited but also very paranoid. I hope everything goes well.

I'm scheduled for 6/17 and will be staying at Club Med for 5 days.

February 21, 2013

Hi glamdoll. I am still waiting for my quote from Campos but I just received the e-mail and then sent my photos two days ago. Question.....If you stay at Club Med will you have to take someone with you or pay for someone to come and take care of you and give you the massages and all of that? I'm in Texas and would prefer to be close to home in Mexico, but from what I've learned so far, the services provided by Dr. Robles and Dr. Yily in DR include a few days in a recovery house which also includes people who help to take care of you, and I may be going by myself so that's a concern. If you don't mind, please let me know how that works with Dr. Campos. Thanks very much!

February 21, 2013

Hi SweetSexy50, I paid $1,050 to Club Med for 8 nights at their recovery house which help with whatever you need after surgery such as, showering, changing, eating, shopping, post surgery care etc., they basically help you with all of your needs. The only thing they don't include in their packages are massages which you must get done by one of Dr. Campos' certified massage therapists. I've read on here that most people preferred a massage therapist named Mari-Paz. She even comes to Club Med to give you your massages if you prefer that instead. Hope this helps.

February 21, 2013

YAAAAAY!!!!! That is such good news. Whew! I know Yily and Robles in DR are good at what they do, but I just don't want to go that far alone. Hell, I can't speak NADA Spanish except the bad words. LOL!!! I can't wait to get my estimate but I just checked and the airfare from here in Texas to San Diego is MUCH, MUCH cheaper than it is to DR. Looks like I'm gonna be heading for Tijuana but I'll keep everyone posted! Thanks again!

February 21, 2013

You're welcome! And yes, keep us posted. :)

February 21, 2013

Im in Texas and I was thinking of going to Tijuana but when I saw Yily's work I think I may go there.

February 21, 2013

I don't know much about Yily. Where is she located?

February 21, 2013

Dominican republic.

February 21, 2013

I don't really like the work that is done in DR. I feel all the women look the same and very cartoonish.

February 21, 2013

Hello glamdoll, you will enjoy Marvin and Susanna. They are very nice and helpful people. I was there in 2011 and felt so welcomed. I was very independent and didn't much assistance which they claimed was rare. However, they will assist you with whatever you need or want. I felt like a family member. Susanna even sent me home with slip on Sketcher tennis shoes and a purse to carry my drains. I was not prepared properly and came with flat boots because it was winter. Mari-Paz came to the recovery home and gave me a massage which was great service. Hope all goes well with your surgery and recovery. Don't be like me and thought because I felt good and didn't need to take my pain med...Big Mistake! We went out for lunch and I could barely walk. I was in serious pain...had a tummy tuck, lip to back,arms, and fg. I had extensive surgery being that I was 200 when I went in and came home at 178. OMG...if you could see my pics you would be in awe of the amount of skin and fat I had removed. I didn't go to Campos the first round but I am scheduled to have surgery with him in April. Keep us posted on about your journey. I would love to read about your experience. I'm planning doing the same but I want to wait closer to my surgery date. In the meantime, you can ask me any questions.

February 21, 2013

Are there a list of items you think I should pack? By the way, thanks so much for all the great info.

February 21, 2013

I took way too many clothing items that I didn't need. Most of the time you will be in the house with your garment on. No clothes needed. I took an open front snapped robe that I wore over my garment, socks, slippers, my potable DVD player with movies( I had a roommate who had a facelift so the loud television and brightness irritated her) I was being a nice roomie! My iPad came in handy when I got bored. I had all my meds, vitamins, protein powder for extra protein and honestly that's all I needed. Susana had all the bandages, arnica gel, anica tea, she even had compression socks(not sure if that's standard). I had a really bad migraine and wanted some ginger ale so she sent Marvin to the store to get me some. She also washes your garment so I would take maybe one extra outfit to have on while it's being washed. Oh btw, wear some slip on shoes so you don't have to bend over or try to tie your shoes....bring some draw string pants. The purse with the long straps that went across my chest and shoulders was good to hold my drains and my jacket hid them on the plane ride home. I can't think of anything us right now but if I do, I'll let you know.

February 21, 2013

Thank for all the great suggestions. By the way, what meds did you bring? I'm wondering if I need to bring some as well.

February 23, 2013

I brought only vitamins but this time I'm bringing pain med, abx, and vit. The pain med I had last time made me sick.

February 21, 2013

Hey glamdoll, My surgery for BBL is on the 26th so two days before yours... I'll be arriving at ClubMed on the 25th and staying till March 1st or soo... I've been having anesthesia nightmares for some odd reason... Lol

February 21, 2013

OMG, that's my biggest concern is something going wrong due to the anesthesia. I am actually quite terrified and been getting migraines for the last couple of days.

February 21, 2013

Hope u have a good surgery and fast recovery. Can't wait to see ur results

February 21, 2013

Thanks so much hun!
