A New Woman Created with Dr. Baez in DR - Dominican Republic, DO

Hello everyone *waving*
I have been researching for over a year and preparing for liposuction/liposculpture. I have made the decision to travel to the Dominican Republic since I can make a vacation out of the time, time to arrive and relax at a hotel prior to surgery, time to get a ride to the procedure, time to heal, time to come home. I've had consultations with dr's here in the US and have been very disappointed in not only their reviews, but also their prices for the same procedures. I am not trying to get cheap plastic surgery, however, I cannot bring myself to pay ridiculously more for the same services. One doctor wanted $5,000...per area! I need two areas lipo'ed.

Fast forward to now, I have decided to go with Dr. Augustina Baez. Yes, I know her pictures and reviews arent numerous, but she is less used, so therefore, she is the right doctor for me. One: her customer service has been amazing and has answered all of my questions without making me feel brushed off. Two: Although I am in awe of Dr. Yily and and Dr. Duran's work, I am not looking for a tiny waist and a large booty. I am seeking a natural-looking body that is in my comfort level. The women who get this type of liposculture look absolutely amazing though and everyone should get what makes them happiest with their own bodies.

During my contact with Dr. Baez, I think I may schedule mid- December or just after New Years. I am beginning this journey with a skeptical, worried husband who is supportive, but concerned. I hope that being on Real Self will help me educate him, pack for my journey, arrange for a nice hotel arrange for a respectable Recovery House, and meet a few sx-buddies along the way.

So, I think I am set. Dr. Baez will see me at the end of January and I am so excited. But here come the nerves. I was going to seek a buddy from RS (still can) but my bestee said she wouldn't want me to go alone. Love her!
I worked with Jazmine Navarro from Bella Vita to square things away and now I am booked with Dr. Baez on now about to book my flight, and wait to hear from Jazmine about recovery houses and hotels to chill in.

So my to-do list is as such:
1. Book flights
2. Purchase items for travel and recovery
3. Buy snacks like dried fruit (good for healing)
4. Book hotel
5. Book recovery house
It's actually going to happen! Damn.

Why when I didn't have a date, there were very clear pages and reviews on Recovery Houses in the DR. But now when I want to book one, there is a plethora of reviews and pages which make my final decision making harder!? I feel like spinning the bottle and picking the first one by chance.
