5'2" 141 lbs - BBL w/ Dra. Duran - Dominican Republic, DO

Hi everyone! So I've been on here for a while now, but this is my first post. I found Dra Duran through this site and have read pretty much everyone's experience with her. As my surgery date is almost a month away, I'm feeling extremely terrified. I feel like I'm either going to die or be burned. I am such a HUGE fan of Dra. Duran and follow all her posts on Instagram, but I can't help but be so scared. I've had my breasts done, but no lipo. I think what scares me is being out of the country and not having the proper care in a hospital if something goes wrong. I've searched for doctors all over the US and their work just doesn't compare to any one of the surgeons in the Dominican. I figure, if I'm going to be in so much pain then it better be worth it. Speaking of pain, I'm the type of person who HATES being uncomfortable and I know I'm going to endure months of this. I'm pretty good when it comes to pain tolerance, but I've been reading so many posts where even women with a high pain tolerance can't take the pain :( I'll be going with my bf who isn't very happy about me wanting to have this surgery, but is still doing everything to comfort me. I'm trying to raise my Hemo 2 level since it is currently at 10.7. The other week I had some injections inserted and the nurse commented "Wow, you have thin blood". I automatically thought, "Great, now I really feel like I'm going to bleed to death during surgery!". I keep psyching myself out and I don't want to feel this way anymore! I don't know what to do :(

Just wanted to give an update. I'm a little less than a month away from my surgery date with Duran. The BF and I just booked our flights. Fortunately, we managed to get the short flights and upgraded to first class coming back because lord knows I'm going to need the extra space. I'm all the way in Cali so it's going to be LONG! I'm dreading going through customs. It's going to take forever :( Anyway, the BF and I booked an Airbnb for the last four days of recovery so we can have complete privacy. It's an apartment across from the beach. There are bars and a casino there so at least my bf can be entertained those last four days lol. I'm still debating on an RH. I've contacted Princess Recovery who seem nice. I read they don't speak English, but I speak spanish and my BF is fluent in Spanish so no problem there. I've also been looking into Visage Retreat, but haven't seen many reviews. Any recommendations? Has anyone used Princess or Visage?

I had my hemo tested early October and it came back at 10.7 . I was worried because I honestly didn't even start taking any iron pills up until 2 weeks ago. I procrastinated so bad and thought my surgery was going to have to be postponed since my hemo wouldn't be high enough. I went in last week to get it tested again and it came back at 12.4!!! I couldn't believe it! I spent a few days crying and kicking myself in the a** for not starting my pills earlier. I can't believe this is happening. I'm about 2 weeks away. Still terrified of the pain I'm going to endure, but I know it's going to be worth it. I'll be posting before pics soon.
