Removal of Biopolimers in Cali Colombia

After many tears and full blown depression I finally took the courage to move forward. I researched the heck out of the internet and I finally found the doctor whom I believe is the best for me. The only set back is this doctor happens to be in another country. Not that I'm against doctors from other countries but the fact that I have to leave my family behind for one month.
So I will be traveling with my husband for support more than anything and when he leaves I will be staying in a RH. I did go to Dr. Gallerani for a consultation but I couldn't stomach the fact that he has to do 2 incisions, one on top and a 2nd surgery on the bottom, this was too invasive for me. I had heard of a doctor in Cali that uses a special technique that he invented in order not to cut the buttocks open. Don't get me wrong not everyone is candidate for this procedure. I just heard that there was one patient that he had no choice but to do an incision because it had traveled all the way up her back. In case you are wondering he does not use any type of lasers either. I think at this point anyone that has done their research know this would be detrimental for this type of procedure.
I purchased my tickets and I am ready to a healthier me. I know this procedure is not easy in any way, shape or form but I am ready and faithful to face my challenges.
My story starts in 2008 when I was lied to by a doctor's assistant of having Hyronic Acid injected. A few years later I started seeing women on TV injecting all kinds of stuff and I couldn't believe why would anyone do this to their body. Ignorance is not bliss. Little did I know I was suffering the same fate. Although I don't have symptoms as of yet I just want to take this silent killer out of me to make sure that my kids have their mother for a long time and not having to worry about my health in the future.
It saddens me to this day women are still injecting themselves knowing this substance is toxic because now everything is out in the open. It's in the news, media and internet. Don't do it ladies, you are killing yourself softly. Prayers to all those women that are in the same boat as I and those that had the courage to take the plunge of removing this toxic waste.
Ladies I will be taking pictures of the RH and gathering as much information as possible in case anyone is interested.

Hi samdavis11, It's great to hear that we will both be in Cali visiting the same doctor at the same time. Are you scheduled for surgery or you're there for a consult. If you're having surgery which recovery house are you staying?

Sorry abortus need too be abouttt my telefoon is instaled in holland's x
December 2, 2015
Yes, I have heard many great things about Dr. Rios. Every time I call a recovery house for pricing they would ask me who is my doctor and when I say Dr. Rio's they would always say he is the best doctor for removing biopolymer.
Dr. Rio's told me to stay a minimum of 20 days for best results. I am staying 28 days just because I know a few ladies that did this surgery and needed this time to fully recover.
December 3, 2015
So good you stay 28 days i keep stay in contact with you and so good we find this dokter my prayers for you Wath date you faitht x

The Mri crew are 100% correct...if you are not experiencing any health issues at this time And you have had the silicone for years there is no need whatsoever
To fly to a third world country & subject yourself to major (& possibly disfiguring !!) Surgery because of emotions
I suggest you google
Injectable silicone information
And read some studies, articles etc to become well informed
On the subject
Someone's uninformed emotionally charged
'Opinion' on a blog site is not necessarily fact

Doesn't make logical sense
There is a lot of information on the Internet abo

These people on here are searching for help. So they have been effected. The internet (Google search) will scare the cramp out of you! Women on here have spoke to drs who specialize in this matter. Can give more intal on the products then Google! If you think keeping something toxic in your body is the way to go. Keep it to your self. Thanks
January 25, 2016
This toxic needs to be taken out, sooner or later it will cause damage if not death if left untreated. We are here to promote awareness to women around the world, we have made more than enough research to know that it is deadly.

I can't believe this month is almost over. I've already started to pack my bag, want to make sure I don't leave anything behind. I think it hasn't struck me yet that soon it will be me on the operating table. It sounds a little crazy but I'm actually excited about going to surgery and taking this out. Maybe the excitement is for a new beginning and a time to heal and reflect.

For the first time in 7 years I woke up and felt some pain on the top right cheek. Nothing unbearable but definitely uncomfortable. It feels like a knot in there definitely inflammation. I can't get to Cali fast enough. For all those ladies that have biopolymers but no symptoms please get it removed. Sooner or later we will all have problems.

Hello RealSelf family, everything went according to plan. No hiccups on the way. We were picked up by the hotel's taxi driver which was very pleasant and had a nice SUV. Since we got to the airport at 8 PM we had no time to exchange money. He took us to an ATM at Intercontinental bank and my husband took out $200,000 pesos which sounds like a lot of money but in actuality was $62.
Tomorrow I am exploring the city and finding a location to stay for my recovery. I will take pictures and post them as soon as I can. My doctor's appointment is on Monday at 9 AM and my surgery is set for Tuesday. I will keep updating everyone as I go along. Say a little prayer for me.
