Hello Ladies. Just wondering has anyone had help...

$11,874
Hello Ladies. Just wondering has anyone had help with funds for cosmetic surgery. It can be very exspensive. I decided to go to the Dominican Republic for surgery because it half the price of what I will pay in the USA. My Fiancé found out that he is not able to take the time off work in june to go with me. So I started looking for a surgery Buddy???? If I'm not able to secure a buddy by May, I will not go, being that I don't want to go alone?????? So I will get it done here where I live but will have to wait a while being that I have to have triple the amount of money!!! That's why I was wondering if there are any resources out there besides Care Credit and united Medical. Thank you!!

Hey girl, did you ever find a surgery buddy? I am 25 years old mom of 1 from California. I want to schedule with Dr. Medina but this morning she responded to me and the earliest she has open is September.
Yes you are very rite I ask dra medina when was the next surgery date that she had, she stated it was in September so I went ahead yesterday and secured my deposit and my surgery date now is September 13
Did you go to BofA to send the deposit? Did you have a fee?
I did go to the bank of America i use my my debit card from Navy Federal I did a cash advance and then they transferred into that account no fees the account is in Florida. I thought it was gonna be a DR account found out that it's a Florida account so when you get the deposit slip get a US deposit slip and check off Florida because it is in Florida
Hi if you decide not to use your date in May could you inbox me. Thanks
I lost my date in Mach and can't get in until Oct 3rd

Did you get your surgery? How did everything go?

How Much Is The Surgery
In total I need to save 8000. A lot of ppl don't mention that. They normally just say how much the surgery is. The surgery it self is 6000. But need to pay for flight, recovery home, Faja, medical coverage while there, medications. So 8000

Thank you for sharing your story. If you're looking for a surgery buddy, I suggest you check in to this forum post: Looking for surgery travel buddies, discuss here!

I'm looking to have my surgery middle to late May as well....torn between Molina and Medina
