New Pics, THREE!! Years Post Op, 1400 cc's BAEZ Doll! 29 year Old, No Kids, Better Than I Anticipated - Dominican Republic

So far I've been researching for a few months. I went ahead and got quotes from Robles, Duran, Diaz, Almonte and Baez. All of the prices were fine, especially considering the prices in the US. The deciding factor mainly though has been the wait times in responses. WTF they each can take days to respond. I can only imagine if something serious came up post-op. I certainly wouldn't be getting my answer from most of these doctors (except maybe diaz and Almonte, who have both been very responsive which is great!)
Anywho, now I just need to secure my date. I like both Almonte and Baez's work but in the end i liked the reviews I was reading about Baez and I feel secure also knowing that she doesn't require a deposit. Although it wouldn't be terrible to lose a $300 deposit, I'd feel better knowing I'll pay in person once I see the facilities and the doctor. And if I feel uncomfortable, then I will just be taking a ten day vaycay :) and my boyfriend isn't coming so I can flirt with all the Dominican Papi's like "heyyyyy boo"!!
By the way, anyone going in April? Roomies! We'll be in a shared room looking like 2 fabulous curvy cut up flank steaks!!!
I'm going to post pics of me right now. PleAse by assured that I don't normally wear granny panties but what am I supposed to be wearing, a thong and pasties??
So excited for this new journey!

So, I've been researching TIRELESSLY for weeks to find a doctor and secure the date for my surgery. I've gotten quotes from all the "top" bbl docs (Yily, Duran, Robles, Almonte etc.) and also from other doctors whose names don't appear very often. BUT I just couldn't get with the long wait times and the unprofessional meat market like dealings with a lot of these doctors! You are a plastic surgeon, but no one ever answers your phones or responds to inquiries in a timely manner?

Heck no, I can't feel safe with that. Manuel Diaz has been extremely proficient in his response times, he has great reviews on his website and Facebook, plus I've seen some good things from him. I admire his professionalism, and out of all the doctors, I can definitely say that I feel more secure with that choice.

As far as recovery houses.....I can say that I am most impressed, by far, by Real Armonia. They are a little pricey, but I figure that I could stay there for about 5 days post op (5 days at $75 for triple room = $375, or 5 days in a double room is $425) For the other 2 or 3 days I would probably stay in one of the less expensive RH or maybe even a hotel and save myself 20 or 30 bucks a night, so we'll say $50 for 3 days = $150.

My quote for Diaz was $3000, flight is at about $450 Roundtrip (it helps if you book the going and return flight separately!) and the total for stay is about $575 so I'm looking at around $4,025. Add in my stage 2 faja ($150) and my post op meds ($150) and I'm looking at $4,325 best case scenario. Then add on extra money for emergency spending and pre-op meds/toiletries, and you're looking at maybe $4700. DAMN, that adds up quickly! **gets off realself and goes back to work to pay for this s***

So I just confirmed with Dr. Baez for April 3rd, and I'm soooo excited I have my date but now I have so much I need to do. I'm going to ask for time off from work tomorrow, and if I'm approved then I'll buy my plane ticket the same day and send Baez the info to secure my date.

Then I'll use my day off tomorrow to buy the vitamins I need to take in advance. I think I've decided to book at Real Recovery Armonia. I have not seen a complaint about them yet. They are pricey, but I'm going to be miserable after surgery, and I'm going to need to be comfortable and well taken care of, especially since I'm traveling alone. I'm all about a bargain, but I will not be cheap when it comes to my health!!

I feel very secure in my choice. I'm so excited to partake in this new journey. Anyway, I have the flu so let me lay my ass back down :(
