Thank you so much for the help. im so nervous about all of this. ive never been outta the country and ill be going by myself cause my hubby cant come. hes in the military and cant get leave. ill be going to a recovery house. does that make it easier?

January 17, 2014

will be going by myself as well, a lil nerve wrecking but am going to pray have faith and hope all goes well. I will be stay at a RH yes. The one am leaning towards is MARIA RH.. communication with her via email, price is affordable and she speaks english...wish we were going the same time but am looking for a buddy, someone thats going around the same time as me. I will be going to Dr Disla in March.

January 17, 2014

what are her prices? i was looking into Real Recovery Armonia. they charge 85 a day and they come and get you from the airport and take you to the appts. they also offer massages for 25 a day. is MARIA RH a better option? id rather have someone who speaks pretty good English.

January 17, 2014

i meant 25 a massage not a day lol got all my kiddos runnin around driving me crazy. i would go in march but i dont have a sitter for my kids til may. :(

January 18, 2014

i will be staying at maria RH..i wish you would be able to come in march :( at least i would have a buddy lol...they do transportation 35 for massages and they want a $100 deposit to hold the room and the dates

January 18, 2014

i communicate with maria via email and her english was clear cant say for sure if she is the one writing the emails, but for some reason i choose her the price she gave me was $525 and its for 7days so if u get a better price at armonia let me know

January 18, 2014

im stayin for 10 days and at 85 a day thats 850. plus 25 a massage. could you give me the email for maria rh? id like to get a quote from her. does that quote include pain meds after the surgery?

So Dr Disla quoted me 5,500 for my mommy makeover and my round trip flight is about 600 and the total cost of the recovery center is about 850. and 25 a massage. so after everything i'm gonna be in about 7 grand. I've never spent that much money on my self... ever. i'm so nervous and i feel a little guilty because i hate spending money on myself. ugh and all this cost doesn't even include my supplies. Gosh i'm nervous.

Thank you so much for your help. i really needed a list to go off of and this really does help me. i also thought about getthing a robe and just wearing that for the most part. which recovery place are you going to? im going to Real Recovery Armonia. also do you know if we have to pay for stuff like the anesthesiologist? i dont wanna go down there and then not have enough money.

January 17, 2014

When I got my quote from Disla she said the surgery, her fee, night @ Cipla, anestesthia, faja, & post appt r included. She the only extra would be. $150 for meds or $250 for massages. I'm gonna take Ana extra $1000 to cover blood transfusion or any other problems that can come up. I'm still undecided on a RH trying to find a reasonable 1 now or hotel & hire a nurse.

January 18, 2014

she suggested Real Recovery Armonia so iwas thinking about doing there after surgery. maybe it will be cheaper? idk its like 85 a day and they take care of transportation from hotel and doc appts. they have a facebook page. im not sure it includes meds. im hoping so tho.

January 18, 2014

Disla wil give you a script for meds and the recovery house will have them delivered to u, but I suggest you try and get some stronger meds like percocet, xanax, & muscle relaxers to aid with pain. The meds in DR aren't that strong. I heard its like taking a motrin 800. If you go on my review I have a list of RH that I have contacted so far and the cost. U can start there by getting quotes.

January 18, 2014

@beauty004, do u need prescription for those meds?

January 18, 2014

i cope pretty well with pain but i will ask the recovery house if they provide strong meds. do you know how much they would be? i wanna make sure i have enough money when i go down there. im freakin out cuz a new costs pops up every time i research more! ugh

January 18, 2014

why doesnt she prescribe stronger meds? i dont understand?

January 18, 2014

Yes, they r prescription meds, but if u know someone who has them u can offer to buy them from them. Or try ur pcp but it's rare they give those meds out being as though theyvr narcotic

January 17, 2014

January 18, 2014
