Surgery Date Booked

Cute319983
Finally paid my deposit for surgery 12/14. I selected Dr. Balza in Tijuana for all the reviews she has. I also appreciated her attention during our virtual consult. I will be having a breast augmentation with lift, lipo 360, jplasma and bbl. my goal is to lose at least 20lbs til surgery. Currently weighing in at 190lb at 5’4”.

Booked my flight (first class), deposit on recovery house (Bella’s recovery) and sent in my passport for renewal.

Would love tips for these procedures!

hey i forgot to ask one question! or maybe two!
- are you flying to san diego or to tijuana? i'm indecisive to which airport to fly to because san diego sounds like more of a hassle with getting picked up from the airport and then border processing where as tijuana, it's only a $12 uber ride to the hospital
- and how many days are you staying at the bella recovery house for how much?

this is so stressful to plan!

I’m flying into San Diego and have a driver picking me up to cross the border. I am staying at Bella’s the night before. I didn’t even consider flying direct. I am staying at Bella’s for 5 nights after surgery (first night is at hospital). I booked with a $200 deposit and total was $855 for a private room. This doesn’t include the massages i intend to book while i am there.

Day of treatment

Had my surgery today

I was so nervous going into surgery today. I had so many feelings like being excite, happy, sad and nervous. Once i got to the hospital at 6:30am i started paperwork, labs, x rays and then before i knew it, Balza was marking me up.

I ended up having a hemo of 13.2 which was lower than i wanted. I just finished my period so that affected it. I wanted breast Augmentation with implants, bbl, lipo 360 , j plasma and lipo to inner arm and inner thigh if possible. I was told no to inner arm and thigh due to hemo and safety so while i was bummed, it was ok.

Going into the OR was so surreal. I was shaking a bit from nervousness but everyone was so nice. Before I knew it, i was out and woke up under a warm blanket.

I have not seen my body so will post results when i do. I was able to get my procedures done plus a surprise inner arm lipo! I feel sore where my tummy lipo was done. Kind of like period cramps. Other than that so far so good!

After discharge i will be in a recovery home til Monday! Updates to come dolls.

Day 1 after surgery

Cute319983
I’m at my recovery home today. Had my first shower this morning. Good news is that i did t faint! My hemo dropped from 13.2 to 9.9 so i was worried about that.

I am in pain but it’s tolerable. The most pain is in my inner left thigh where lipo and j plasma were done. Then when i get up to go to the bathroom by whole Butt is sore and tight. It hurts to get in and out of bed but I’m managing.

The recovery home i am staying in is helping me so much. I really feel safe and cared for here.

As far as my results, i saw my body for there first time today. I’m bruised everywhere. I love my breast implants. As far as my butt, I’m honestly indifferent. I got the ccs that i asked for but am wondering if i should have asked for more. I know my body will change over the next several weeks/months do i am trying not to stress about it.
