Hello Realself girls! I’ve been stalking this site for 6 months now. It really has helped me prepare for my MMO. This site its wonderful, hundreds of personal stories at your fingertips. I’ve gained so much insight from it. Thank you for sharing your journey through plastic surgery. I hope that sharing mine will help others.
I am 32, mother of two. Had big babies, that left me with lots of stretch marks and loose skin around my abdomen. I will be having a MMO in exactly a week from today with the wonderful Dr. Luis Fernandez Goico in my beautiful country, Dominican Republic. I originally choose a different surgeon in the DR, whom I had a consultation when I was visiting last summer. My sis and aunt had sx with this Dr. but I wasn’t too thrilled about his work. I went on and had a couple of consultations but didn’t feel 100% comfortable with the Dr.s , until I found Dr. Fernandez Goico in this same site. I knew he would be the perfect surgeon for me after by reading the 80 excellent reviews and amazing before and after pictures. I contacted him, requested a virtual consultation which took a little time but glad I waited. I was impressed with his detailed evaluation, very professional and honest. He really takes his time evaluating the photos. His assistant Karel is so nice, helped me so much. I choose him because he is very professional, well prepared, and understanding of your wishes.
Last Fri. I asked my sisters to pass by his office pay for the down payment. I asked Dr. Fernandez if it was possible that they can meet him and ask him a few questions since one of my sisters has had sx before and knows more about the process. He promptly responded “of course” . They loved him! Everything the saw matched what I read in the comments. That the clinic is beautiful, Karel is a very nice person and that Dr. Fernandez is very easy to talk to, answered all their questions in a very professional manner. He went on explaining his technique for achieving such clean lines and told my sisters about his well experienced staff.
I am very excited and nervous at the same time. I am kind of sad of not seeing my babies in so long but my husband with be home. He is using his vacation time for me to do this. I will be in DR for 20 days and will be staying with my family. I thought about staying at a RH but don’t want to be bored. I am praying everything goes as planned.

trying to get in contact with him. Also looking at March 8th ish. Do you have his whattsapp?
January 22, 2016
This is from his assistant Karel. For online evaluations, we'd need you to send us photos exposing the areas of interest (if possible, ask a third person to take them for you and please do not show your face in the photos you will be exposing your body) to "contacto@fernandezgoico.com". As soon as I receive your photos, I'll send them to Dr. FG and he'll answer you with his evaluation and comments of your case. Right after this, I'll send you a quote for the costs of the necessary procedure(s). Their response time is quick. I'd love to see you there!

So I made it safely to the DR. Enjoying the warm weather and great food . Went to the clinic this morning, so beautiful, modern and very clean. His assistant Karel is so sweet and helpful. They make it so convinient for you by having the cardiologist and phlebotomist go to the clinic and see you. FG is great!!! I dont have words to describe him. makes you feel so confortable. Explains the whole procedure step by step. Answers all your questions in a very professional manner. He seems very passionate about what he does. After examining me he recommended me to get a mammography due to i have a granule in one of my breast. They where able to make arrangements for me and within hrs I was clear for surgery. Now am just waiting patiently praying everything goes as planed.
