Much Needed Mommy Makeover with Dr. Harold Villalobos Cali, Colombia

I've been on this site for over a year reading, and gathering information. I am a very private person but this site has helped me learn so much about the whole process that I feel compelled to share my journey as well. Quick summary: I have 3 children VERY far apart! 23, 8, and almost 5 months. My 41st birthday is today! I have been thinking about getting a mommy makeover done for years but never had the time to go to Colombia and stay the required time due to work obligations, or the money. Had my last child in Nov of 2015 and gained a lot of weight. My stomach got really big it's been tough trying to get it down to a decent size. I have never been thin but this is by far the heaviest I've ever been post baby ( currently weighing in at 198lbs yikes! I am 5'6" tall so Imagine that!). Like I said in the beginning, this site has been instrumental in helping me understand what to expect and to get an up close look at what some of the real results look like. Thank you to all the brave people that share their pictures and stories! I don't know if I have the courage to share my before pics ( my current situation lol) as they are not something I am proud of- but maybe I will muster up some courage and do it in the next few days because I know those are key for a lot of people. Anyway, decided to go with Dr Villalobos based on reviews here, his before and afters on his IG and website, he's a member of the SCCP ( Colombian Society of Plastic Surgeons) and the contact I've had with his lovely wife and assistant Paola. She has been very prompt answering my 50 million questions and has explained everything very throughly. I have gotten 4 quotes from different plastic surgeons in Colombia and he is the one I'm most comfortable with. So I gave my deposit today to secure the 14th of April and bought my plane tickets!!!! It's a done deal now!!! I'm scared just because I have a low tolerance for pain but I'm getting the sistema de dolor which releases pain medication for the first 3 days via your back at an additional charge but it helps manage the pain of the first 3 days well I am told. Waiting for the details on the recovery house - Paola will coordinate that part for me so I will have those details soon. I'm Colombian but not from Cali so I will need a recovery house. If anyone is going to Villalobos that date I'd love a surgery buddy! I'm leaving out of Boston. Will update more details within the next few days my countdown to hotness has officially begun!!!!!!!

My before photos :-(. I blurred out some stuff in the background because I had pictures in the background- side note-just take your pics against a wall so you don't have to do this later! I would die if anyone I know in person saw these and knew it was me!!!

I want to add that I am getting a breast lift with implant due to the tubular shape of my breast, lipo in back, arms, legs, abdomen and a tummy tuck.

Paola (Dr. Vs wife/ assistant) coordinated the recovery house for me. It's called Salud y Belleza in Cali she explained that they have been working with this recovery house for only 2 weeks now but that they needed the switch from the one they were using previously due to patients being dissatisfied with their stay. She sent a few picture and told me she did extensive research before making a final selection since a lot of his patients are traveling to see him. Here are some pics of the house I believe it's $75/day is for transportation to and from the airport, round the clock care, meals, laundry, transportation to and from Dr appts, massages, and I need to ask her where else they take you. They have wifi, a safe and I will be sharing a room with another patient coming in, which I don't mind at all since I will be traveling alone and don't know anyone in Cali. I am Colombian though and speak Spanish just from another city. She said their would be 8 of us total there from US, Canada, and Spain around the time I'm there which will be 22 days total. She said I pay the owners of the recovery house directly and provided their contact info and details so I would have them to present at Immigration once I arrived in Colombia since they ask who you will be staying with. You also say you are in Colombia for medical tourism. Here are the pics of the house
