Trying for Surgery Again June 2016 - Dominican Republic, DO
ORIGINAL POST
Ok, So if you have read through my posts from...
$4,500
Ok, So if you have read through my posts from before you will see that I didn't have surgery. Long story short, my TSH Level was too high (thyroid stimulating hormone)
I would strongly advise that you have those levels checked as some doctors in the DR or other places can and will turn you away. I met with Almonte and her team which were all great back in April. But as you can imagine I was very upset that I didn't have my surgery after all the planning. I changed my flight the day after and went back home. I was upset with my recovery house Venus which i will not recommend them any longer either. The place itself was nice, but I paid $750 (which supposedly was a discounted rate) for 10 days. Day of surgery was not to free! It did include my transportation and My driver was Vladimir who was very nice! I would always recommend him. So again, I paid when i got there and had to give another $20 to them for the remote control which i was told i would be given back. When changing my flight and leaving i was advised that I would only be given a refund of 40%. I told them to keep it as I knew I would be coming back. I was charged for one night which didnt even make sense to me because I stayed at Cecip the first night to have sx the next morning. ( which didnt happen) So now I have been in contact with Venus and the lady who runs it is Mrs. Niurka - i told her i would be coming back with my sister and a friend and she said she would charge them 80/night. I asked why they couldnt get a better rate and she said that special is over. My ppl werent willing to pay that much because Another RH offered us a triple room for $55 each which would only be $495 for the 9 nights we needed. No brainer right?! Plus this is their 2nd round and they stayed at this rh before. Mrs. Niurka then told me I would only get refunded back 70%! which was like $200 !! Im like what the f-. So now Im pissed off. I am more upset that she wouldnt accomodate 2 paying individuals i was bringing and comp them the same amount they was gonna get elsewhere so that we could be together. That was the issue. My room was paid for and who am i to stop someone from trying to save money from all this- i know how expensive this [RS bleep] gets... and why would i want to be alone after surgery ?? She seemed to not care. So from that, they will never get a recommendation out of me.. stay away because they are clearly all about the money! I hit up the woman who runs the RH my sister went to and explained the situation. She was the nicest lady ever. She even told me that she will let me stay there for free as long as my sister and friend come there but that she will charge them the rate of $65 per night (which still is good). Transportation for us all would be $150 which $50 BUCKS a head and we would have to pay for our own massages. (my massages were included in my price with Diaz) . So I was very thankful and advised Mrs. Niurka that I will come to get my refund. Rather get back something than nothing and I refuse to sit there recovering alone smh. Veryyy poor customer service and im not happy. On another note shout out to my nurse Damiana because she tried to help me every step of the way.
So I have switched my doctor and going with Dr Manuel Diaz which is what I shouldve done from the beginning. My doctor and my endocrinologist cleared me for the surgery when I first came back and said there was no reason as to why Almonte didnt do the surgery.. Diaz did my sister and her friend surgery last year and i've seen him do a lot of body types like mine and they come out bomb so im ready for that. Almonte does great work but i think better for bigger women. they are not slimmer like me. Even my surgery buddy said she wouldve prob chosen someone else ( in her case Dr Molina) So my Surgery is for June 23, 2016 and I fly out there on June 21st like 11pm so I technically get there on the 22nd. I'll do my labs that day and make sure all is ok and then hopefully surgery next day. I have sent a $500 deposit and my total is now $4k.

2 weeks to go !!
OK so I just want to update everyone and what's going on so as of right now I am two weeks away from surgery which is on June 23, 2016 and I fly out June 21. Diaz is actually now having a summer special in which you can get a tummy tuck lipo and BBL for $4200. It's originally $4500 so not a bad little discount we are all looking to save whenever we can and however we can. I'm heading out with my sister and her friend and they are going for there rd 2 with Diaz he was also there surgeon for there rd 1. I speak to Diaz himself and I really like that because the communication does not go through his assistant I'm not sure what his assistants name is but whoever it is she is now on top of her game the way she should be she takes forever to answer simple emails or even on WhatsApp so I'm not happy with her but luckily I don't have to go through her. I really played myself because I should've been trying to lose the 10 pounds I want to lose and I just became lazy and I didn't but I definitely will after the surgery and who knows maybe from all of the recovering I will do maybe I will lose a couple of pounds from that but I definitely plan to get back into the gym once my body is healed and I'm able to return to those activities. There's not really much else to say I will be staying out real recovery Armonia and since I was there before my suitcase is still packed and ready to go all I need to do is buy some wipes so I hope to update you guys in another week or so before I get ready to head out keep me in your prayers. I will surely keep all of your dolls in my prayers and good thoughts that you will have a speedy recovery he and that you're healing well.

Exactly what I want! My shape and size is very similar to them. I'm short 5 ft and 145 lbs. I'm hoping to have a body type very similar to this after. 7 more days to go!!
