My BMI was 39 now down to 37.7, does anyone know any Dr in the DR that would take me or tell me what my BMI has to be...what measures to take to locate a travel partner...any suggestions on the recovery houses....what happens while you are there for 10 days, restrictions, outings etc....do you have to stay the whole 10 days and cost of recovery houses

Hi Bitsy. From my research, most docs range between 30-35 max. They also look at your build. The good docs will tell you how much you need to lose.. There's plenty of dolls on RS who are on diets to meet the requirement. There is a forum for surgery buddies and some forums for specific docs. You should also post on your journey once you get a date. Docs require 10 days in the DR for post op care and also for the drain removal. It lessens the risk of complications. I chose Dr. Leon and he actually recommends 14 days because he provides excellent post op care. Most DR docs include the recovery house in your quote and work with specific ones or recommend some. Most journeys will include a review of the recovery house. It is time consuming and addicting doing research but the best way to start is really reading the reviews. Duran does great work but is extremely difficult to communicate with without paying a 3rd party $200 to even get the quote and you don't get an actual consultation. Also research the facilities they work out of. I hope this helps and best of luck on your journey! Continue asking questions because your decision will be about what's most important to you when choosing.

thank you!

Hello, so far it is my understanding that some stay the suggested amount of time while others due to work/family stay for shorter stents. I too am starting my journey to the flat side as they say. I am also trying to lose weight to get to a suggested BMI of 35 or lower which is what they say most DR surgeons require. Now im still searching for info on which Docs over there can snatch a big gurl up like Dra Duran or King Cabral just in case i cant make it under 35 but God willing I will. Names that have been thrown around are Dra Robles, Dr Manon and Dra Almonte. Me personally I have only seen about 3 really good before and afters for Almonte so I have doubts about her snatching capabilities Im still researching so i dont know. Hope this helps somewhat. Good luck

thank you keep in touch, let me know what doc you are choosing, do you have your info for your recovery house?
February 2, 2016
No I got rejected by Dra Duran today. Im still debating and no sense in looking for recovery houses if I dont know who will be doing my surgery. But as soon as I am confident I will post.
February 3, 2016
I got rejected from her as well my bmi was 36. I hot do frustrated that I gave up. I am hearing about another doctor dr Manuel Diaz. He is willing to dot procedure. I have not seen any horror stories on him. But anyone's input will be appreciated. Really trying up get on the flat side
February 3, 2016
from what im reading when girls are rejected by Duran a Dr Robles has taken them
February 8, 2016
Thanks I've just started looking into her work. (Robles) I had my mind set on Dra Baez I love her scars TT but I would be very upset to wake up not snatched, that's why I'm going to the DR and not the states. Anyway keep telling myself just go see the King Dr Cabral at least he will do you right? We will see if I can figure out how to get my whatsapp to work

Hi, I think Dr. Disla may take you. Most of them would like for you to stay at least 10 days. I stayed at Princess Recovery house and they were really good. If you had alot of work done, you may not care too much about outings. Hell, we stayed in our room in our Faja most of the time. We only got dressed to go to our Dr visit.
February 2, 2016
I read so many bad things about the recovery houses there, are the girls at the Princess there 24 hrs a day?
February 2, 2016
Yes they are there 24 hrs day. You get free transportaion to and from the airport and doctor's visit, 3 meals a day and snack. I was sick when I was there and they were fairly new, so to me they really didn't know what to do as far as that was concerned. I'm more than sure since then they've gotten better. They asked for some of our feedback on how they can make things better and the last I spoke with her, she told me they were in the process of making some changes. I even see where they now have hospital beds. So yes, I would recommend Princess Recovery House.

I am 5'2 and started at 220lbs. Disla said she would take me but surgery at another location. She wants 35BMI or under but also said my hemo levels determine how much can be done as well. I am getting down to 185lbs prior to arrival June 15th and last check my hemo levels were 14.2 naturally and that's great! She wanted 12.5 and over

Dra Almonte and Dr Lima

In my opinion I don't think dr J will give you better results than you'll get in DR ..he doesn't seem consistent and has LOTS of bad reviews
May 27, 2016
Im going to stick with going to the DR just trying to figure which Dr.
