NY Heading to Dr Almonte in March 2016 - Dominican Republic

Ok so I'm trying to document everything because for me, I'm a research guru and I want to make sure all decisions are correct and have another plan just in case. I read so many reviews. Initially, I wanted to be a Robles doll but after hearing about a death I just wasn't comfortable with her anymore. I found Dr Almonte whom I have heard and read really good things about. Her ratings are very high and I don't see too many negative reviews. I've been in contact with her assistant Lesley who gives pretty quick responses and reassures me if I need. So I received a quote - I'm interested in Lipo + BBL. I would like my breasts done also but I don't feel the need to be in so much pain all at one time. My sister had a tummy tuck done with Dr Manuel Diaz and she looks great. I've gotten a quote from him also but once I sent my pics he said I wasn't a candidate for Lipo- only a tummy tuck. I love the way a tummy tuck looks, but I know Lipo isn't as bad a procedure but nonetheless Im debating on getting one if in fact the Lipo may just leave me with loose skin "/
I'm researching more but I am pretty content with the doctor I chose and I'm hoping for the beginning of March. Not making anything definite until I have all the research I need under my belt. Alot of people rush to do things and have bad experiences and I want this to be a good experience even though I know I'll be sore and in pain. So I here mixed reviews on recovery houses and most of them really bad. Alot of people pay for a hotel and hire a nurse. Some stay at the RH for the first 4 days and then leave, so I wonder what prices all of that come to b/c the quote incl a 10 day stay at a RH. So any suggestions, comments are all appreciated. I hope to find a SX buddy before the deal is sealed lol

Ok so just an update as I like to be detailed as possible, because the more you know - the better you can help yourself - or someone else for that matter. I found a sx buddy on here who I think is great! She is such a sweetheart and we are both coming from NY which is a plus bc we can fly together and we are getting a double room. SX date is hopefully the 9th of March 2016. We are going with either Real Recovery Armonia (Mayra) or Serenity RH. If you book the RH with the company directly and NOT with the surgery - You pay much less! And who doesn't want to save money where and when you can!? I just called the post office bc I have to get my passport so my appt is made for this Thursday at 1. I also have a Dr appt on 1/12 so I will get my hemo checked and whatever else I need. I just heard back from Lesley and my quote for my procedure (TT, BBL + Lipo) will be $3500USD and this is without the RH. But I will Include another $100 for the transportation as well so that's $3600. I've been researching flights NY to SDQ and they re looking like $430 for roundtrip. My SX buddy is getting a list together of items we will need so any other information will be helpful! Thanks ladies

So unfortunately I have to change my date because March is now all booked up before I could even make my deposit. Girls, Im telling you - if you are serious make sure that you put that deposit down asap! There are a million girls wanting these drs and its first come first serve. I didn't want to rush into making a Feb date being that its only a month away and I haven't been to the dr yet. I dont want to get to the dr and he tells me to get my iron up first and Im scrambling to do that. Patience is a virtue but all things happen for a reason. Its 1 month out so Its ok. I still have my sx buddy on board and we are in this together so as long as I have her, I'm ok. So now the open date is looking like april 14th.
