Omg so i dont even know where to begin. Well lets start with the fact that i was indecisive at the last minute. My flight left NY 1-30-17 @5:40 AM. I got to the airport only to find that i couldnt leave because i only had a passport card...not a book. My stupid self didnt realize every time i went to the dominican i was on a cruise smh. So i had to go get an emergency booklet made. It cost $170 and took 2 hours. So i ended up leaving out at 3:30pm and arrived in DR at midnight 1/31. So at this point i decided on Dr Manon.
I contacted Rosa and told her what happened and she insisted everything was okay and i could still have surgery 1/31. I slept until 8:30 am and was instructed to arrive at cecip for labs at 9am. Junior the driver was amazing and had WiFi in his car for me to contact my family. He had AC and the car was clean and comfortable. He took me to my RH - Gianna Colombo Dream Barbie Recovery House. The house was clean when I arrived but i was bothered that the RH did not come pick me up. I will just put it out there that Gianna Colombo was an absolute sweetheart!! I was however unhappy with my stay at her house towards the end. Thats another review. Any way....fast forward.....testing was fast and everything went smoothly . At CECIP (the original clinic not Dr Manons new clinic CECIPLER--thus one is across from the presidents castle) it was very clean and there was an English speaking staff there who gave me all my forms in english to fill out. I know alot of dr's had forms only in Spanish. I was taken to a room with a shower a bed a couch and a fridge and ac and a tv. It was basic but clean and spacious. The anesthesia dr came in first. She explained the meds and asked if I wanted a pain pump. I said yes and then paid her $200 for it. It is put in during surgery. I signed a release form for her. Next Rosa and Dr Manon came in. He greets you warmly with hug and kiss ladies!! Lmao. He marked me up, asked for wish pics and took measurements. He assured me I would be happy and told me to relax. He made me so comfortable! Rosa is a dream and a sweetheart. And i cant explain how beautiful she is!!!! So i paid rosa abd changed into my gown comoression socks and bonnet lmao. Someone came in and gave me my blue pill....and ladies that was all she wrote. I remember nothing else except waking up later that evening back in my room with my nurse dennise lara!!! I was hurting like a mf and i was shaking like a leaf because i was freezing!!!! Its a COMMON SIDE EFFECT OF ANESTHESIA LADIES SO BRING A HEATED BLANKET!!!!! Anyway i was pretty much pain free that night. Dennise called my family and video chat with my mom to calm her nerves and she took great care of me. The next morning the nurses brought foid but i wanted nothing but the fruit. The put some arnica on my back and stuffed me back in my faja. I was extremely swollen!!! Back to the RH I went. Dr Manon was a great choice because he snatched my ass to the gawds in one round! I did get a dog ear, and i experienced necrosis to my belly button. It healed quickly though because i brought manuka honey with me. Thank Goodness i did !!! Any questions feel free to ask.

So i have 25 days to go. My date is 1/31/17. My suitcase is packed and nownim focused on losing this last little bit of weight before surgery. Paid off my RH with gianna Colombo at dream Barbie rh. She has been an absolute doll to me , and im glad so far that i picked her. I will update you guys when I get there about her rh. Im stressing because my job is giving me a hard time about short term disability. They want to speak to the dr. As you all know cosmetic elective sx isn't covered under STD or FMLA so i just wanted the to email me the papers and I'd have Dr Baez sign them. Too easy right smh. Im probably gonna end up just takin unpaid leave with FMLA. Im thibkin of taking 6-8 weeks off. Im soooooooooooo nervous. I can't tell you how many times I've cried. I guess it's just anxiety setting in. Lord please let me lose more weight before I leave lol. Anything exciting i will update you guys ????????????????????

Hey Doll I took 3 weeks vacation and I was fine. I work in the field of nursing and it worked well as I know everyone heals differently and circumstances are different. If you have the time take vacation off. They didn't even know why I was out they simply thought I went on a vacation
