45 Years Old, 4 Kids All Breastfed Babies;) 4D Vaser Tummy Tuck with Lipotransfer Stem Cell Breast Augmentation - Colombia

I also need to clarify that the woman I mentioned above that almost died after surgery with the ultra low hemoglobin levels had her surgery done here in the good ol' USA...sadly, we are not immune to horror stories here at home either.
And I also wanted to reiterate that I searched far and wide for a PS in my hometown and here on home soil but I didn't find the Total Package as I found with what Dr Hoyos offers.
My first exposure to the extended aftercare was actually as I was looking at Thailand particularly Dr Pornthep Pungrasmi;) I was totally impressed with the fact that foreign countries have available aftercare at affordable pricing - there really isn't any aftercare here at home in the USA...review after review recounts all these amazing women tuffing it out at home even without spouses or relatives!! Whoa! With my busy household - my 3 year old gigantic son comes to mind I'm 5'2" and he is 3'4" and weighs about 52 lbs and every day when I get home from work he charges me and tackles me with a bear hug - right about where the TT scar will be and drains if any - so if I had to be home during those first couple of critical post op weeks, I'm sure I would be one of those ladies I've read about on here that are planning on a R2 while still healing from R1! BA HAHAHA;-P

So far all my labs are great...except for my hemoglobin- a paltry 12.7! I'm so grateful for this site- I've read so many tips on how to improve hemoglobin levels and then tonight one women who is only 7 days postop took the time to post her story- she almost died when her levels after surgery plummeted to 4.8! No one thought to check her levels until she went to the Hospital and they said she almost died....

Another woman on here said she ordered chlorophyll tablets online from Amazon dot com and it brought her hemoglobin up within just days. As a health professional myself I can't stress how important it is to have good nutrition pre operatives and post operatively for the best outcome.

I'm glad to do this Mommy Makeover even if just for the blood panels letting me know that I'm somewhat deficient in my hemoglobin levels.

But thankfully there is going to be so much more improvement! Oh la la! ;)

I just love reading about all the awesome makeovers here on RS! It's amazing how much I've learned! I can so spot the talented PS versus the mediocre PS now...when I first started looking at this site a little over a month ago I had no idea how much the after care had to do with a person's outcome!

And, I would have to study and study a pic to see why it looked 'off'...and now I can glance and go oh wow her TT scar line is so high or wow her PS did an amazing job and her scar is going to fade to nothing - and what a great belly button - and great definition on that liposculpture - and wow look at those beautiful breasts and great projection on that BBL etc! ;)

And, it's great seeing the before and after pics! I love seeing the happy outcomes and my heart goes out to the others...

That's why even tho' I've seen some wonderfully talented PS with cheaper prices than Dr Hoyos, I'm still going with him.

First of all, he's incredibly talented. Both patients and other PS laud him for his talent and his skill. Secondly, I appreciate the positive reviews of his recommended after care residence, the Chateau Physique for its medical care, massages, and nutrition, and the blissful healing atmosphere. Thirdly and finally I have sincerely appreciated the communication of Johana 'Jo', his international coordinator- I can only imagine how many emails she has to sift through on a daily basis! And she has been so kind as to answer my questions and address my concerns. I really appreciate that she doesn't ignore any of my concerns- even if she doesn't have the answer right away- like my chronic addition of additional procedure requests! Hahaha!! Rather, she is patient and kind and recommends to me to wait and not worry because Dr Hoyos will listen and give me his expert advice;)

I'm at peace with my decision. No, this will not be cheap. But, I am confident that I am going to be in the best hands and that I am going to be blessed with the outcome I am hoping for;)

I am looking forward to posting postop pics as soon as I am able! ;)

This morning I had my chest X-rays done that Dr Hoyos requests. I was surprised that he didn't ask for the mammogram like the other PS I had consulted with and had done already.

I now need the electrocardiogram and then standard blood panels and urine tests done and then I'll be done with that list and ready to book my flight and accommodations! ;)
