Going to Dr.Henao in Colombia for a New Body! - Cali, CO

Hi dolls,

Im officially two weeks from my departure date and still as excited/nervous/anxious as ever. I made a SX page dedicated to my plastic surgery journey with Dr.Henao. You can follow me at HenaoDoll2016.

Ive connected with a lot of really great ladies going through a similar journey on my IG page and through here.

Ive decided i will not be using a recovery house in Colombia, i will be staying at a hotel the full 12 days in Cali. My boyfriend will be accompanying me for majority of the trip and since he is a surgeon (not plastic) he will be able to care for me adequately and be able to monitor my healing. Ive heard so many mixed reviews about the recovery homes i just didn't feel good about entrusting my recovery with them given my second option.

Looking forward to connecting with you ladies and good luck on all of your journeys! My next post will probably be the day before taking off. I will photograph all of my supplies and where i got them.

I am officially one month away from departing to Colombia and let me tell you, it still feels like forever! This is something I've been wanting to do for myself for a very long time and now that its here, time seems to be going by so slowly. Im so glad we have this platform to talk about sx and connect with others on the same journey. Real self has been so helpful.

I got my passport in the mail yesterday and my flight is booked through Expedia. Ill be flying United Airlines and Copa Airlines. Ive been trying to gain weight and i think I've put on between 4-6 lbs. Ive been eating bagels with cream cheese every morning and carbs before bed. Also, I've been taking a multi vitamin everyday and CoQ-10 gummies. I'll be under anesthesia for quite a while so i want to go in feeling well prepared.
