I am 27 and have no children, but am basically getting a mommys make over ;)
I contacted campos, cadrenas and pantoja for quotes. Pantoja was the only one who replied with a quote. $6,800 for full body liposuction, breast implants with a lift, tummy tuck, and a BBL. I am not sure if i want a BBL, i do have flat buttocks, but it has never bothered me. It is mainly my stomach that bugs me. I'm not even sure I want breast implants. I have yet to pay my deposit but I am 99% sure i am booking for July 2nd with pantoja. I really like Yily's work but i live in western canada, so the flight home would be a long one.

I am super nervous about recovery. I have a very low pain tolerance, and i am not sure if my doctor here will prescribe me narcotics for this surgery. Has anyone in canada had experience getting meds for surgery out of country? Nadia said they can't prescribe morphine, and this is what i find is effective for me after surgery.
I will be staying at the clubmed for 12 days, is anyone else planning to be there around then? its expensive but i want to make sure everything is ok before i go home and get my drains removed. i am only doing this once, so i want to do it right!
what are your opinions about the buttocks, and the breasts? if i get implants, i am thinking 280CC or 300CC, do you think that will be a good size on my wide frame.

I booked my date and paid my deposit to Nadia for July 2nd. Now i just need to book my flight and RH. I am still debating, if i want to stay for 2 weeks, or take my own stitches and drains out and come home after a week......

My date is so far away, and I am obsessing about it. I wish I could do it sooner.

I am starting to feel really anxious about booking my flight. Whether i should do it now or wait. I don't see a reason why I couldn't keep this appointment, but i guess booking the flight just makes it more real. I would be flying with alaska airlines and their tickets are non refundable and non transferable. decisions, decisions. I really wish there was more after photos of dr.pantoja.

I booked my flight. Glad that is out of the way....

I booked my flight. Glad that is out of the way. Now i just need to book a recovery house, I am going to stay with clubmed for 14 days. I will be so homesick, but I want to make sure I am good to go once i go home. I have my final nursing licensing exam coming up in september, so hopefully I will be able to relax and study a lot. I will show up with new boobs, new booty and a flat stomach, hehehe my classmates will be asking a million questions. I will need to come up with a good story. I hate lying, and i am really bad at it but its none of their business.

I paid my deposit for clubmed. I am staying from July 1st to july 17th. I will get so home sick :( but i hopefully i will be able to concentrate and study. The only concern i have is i can not have gluten, so hopefully the costco there has the gluten free bread i eat.

Today I am having alot of regrets paying my deposits and booking my non refundable flight. I know if I didn't I would back out of the surgery and today I wish I could.... But at the end of the day I will be excited and can't wait.

So apparently you can not delete your review.... So ill keep my post but just ignore ignorant people..on a positive note I finished all my exams and now starting my clinical at the local hospital. I finished with a 95.8% average , so I am super stoked about that!!! I also got some supplies for my surgery. I got the boppy pillow, some nighties, cool house coat and a dress. I got all XL! I am trying super hard to lose weight but it's so hard. I'm
Running 4x a week and eating 1200 calories a day and I'm changing. UGH. I am going in vacation to Cuba, we were going to go back to the Dominican Republic but we opted for varadero, my husband hasn't been and I have so he wants to see Cuba.
I am so excited to see a few girls this month are going to pantoja!

I should really proof read my review before I post it! I meant to say I am not changing. I haven't lost a pound. But with my vacation coming up I am even more determined. I am also trying a diet pill cAlled fruta planta. I hope to lose 20lbs by my surgery date.

I just got back from Cuba yesterday, it was an amazing vacation but i felt unbelievably uncomfortable in my swimwear. It just reassured me that I am doing the right thing and getting this surgery.

Good news! I got my doctor to give me 5 days worth of hydromorphone. I was worried she wouldn't because narcotics are highly regulated here. I also got her to write out stuff for lab work.
It's so encouraging to see all the latest reviews of pantojas patients! So glad girls are willing to share.

Great review?

oOLiveLaughLoveOo 9 Apr 2013

Oh yay! Maybe ill see you around!

mbones 19 Mar 2013

That sucks about your flight

oOLiveLaughLoveOo 20 Mar 2013

yeah, its so annoying because i was going to arrive in san diego at 3:30pm and now i wont be in until 8:30pm. i wanted to get some stuff like protein powder and arnica gel, but i doubt they will be open by the time i get to TJ.

mbones 21 Mar 2013

I had to get a flight where I won't be getting in to SD until 11:00 pm lol....but i'm going to the dentist at 9 and then i'll have the rest of the day to get my hotel room stocked and hopefully pay for the SX bc I don't want to leave all that $$$$ in my hotel safe.

oOLiveLaughLoveOo 21 Mar 2013

I was at the bank last night and asked how long in advance do I need to order $7,000 Canadian in Mexican pesos and she was like "say what" hahaha i could tell she wanted to know so bad why I would want that much cash. I think I will pay the extra fee to pay by credit card, carrying that much cash would give me aniexty. I go for surgery first thing the next morning, that's nice you have a day to settle!

ImmaJusDoIt 21 Mar 2013

yeah that's CRAZY to be carrying around that much money...I already decided to do half and half...cause I have all the cash but I always put a large amount on my cc to keep my credit score HIGH! I've done this for YEARS!

officerdoofy 16 Mar 2013

Hi girly! how's the fruta planta working? I'm scheduled the day before you. Hopefully we'll see each other :)

oOLiveLaughLoveOo 16 Mar 2013

It's not working :( I'm still hungry alllll the time. Just going to try exercise more and eat less. I tried the 2011 version I'm going to try the 2010 and if it doesn't help that will be it for me. YAY so glad someone is going around the same time as me. Ill probably see you around. Are you staying there for 1 or 2 nights? What are you getting done

officerdoofy 17 Mar 2013

Aww. Hopefully the other version works for you. I lost 23lbs last year counting my calories using that app, myfitnesspal.I'm getting a bbl and I'll be liposuctioning everything except my face. Lol I'm staying 9 nights at club med. I'm arriving june 30th and leaving july 10th. I'm so anxious for july to be here already. I feel like mostly all the other pantoja girls are going before us lol. Looking at their new bodies makes me super happy for them but super impatient to get mine already. Lol

oOLiveLaughLoveOo 17 Mar 2013

Yeah I love that app! I lost 85lbs but now gained 40 back :( all my fault though! Yay ill totally see you! I arrive at club med July 1 until 17th! So glad I'm not going to be alone! Do you want a huge booty? I am still debating if I will get it because I'm getting breast implants.

officerdoofy 18 Mar 2013

No huge booty for me lol. I would like one but I'm 5'5 and 135lbs. I have enough for a nice bubble but not a donk. It took such hard work to lose weight so I can't bear to gain any weight back although I'm sure it would be fun lol. Have you seen ready4mynewboobsandbutt? She did the bbl and implants together and looks fantastic. Good luck on weight loss hun. You got this!

oOLiveLaughLoveOo 19 Mar 2013

thanks, yeah its hard but i go to the gym alot and eat well but i cant seem to lose the weight this time around. yeah she looks amazing!!!! i am worried that i will have a big ass after and not be able to fit my pants lol. i can't wait i am getting so excited!!!

misssyl 17 Apr 2013

Hi, I am planning to go to Pantoja on June 27th, maybe I will see you there :)

officerdoofy 17 Apr 2013

@misssyl what are you getting done? Are you staying at club med also? Hope to run into you while I'm there. Only a little over 2 months to go. Yay!

chocolat3 2 Mar 2013

I think you let waaaay too many people influence your decisions - hope you figure out what you really want - your friend already has what she wants - maybe its a lil haterade boo - you do seem like you're a bit easily influenced. #nmyprayers

mbones 2 Mar 2013

whoa girl, why?

ImmaJusDoIt 1 Mar 2013

WOW! what happened?

ImmaJusDoIt 27 Feb 2013

oOLiveLaughLoveOo 27 Feb 2013
