I have been researching costmetic surgery for a long time and have finally got the courage to take the plunge. What has made it easier for me is this website because the stories has aided in helping me to decide on doctor and recovery house. I chose Dr Guico because of his attention to his patients and the great reviews that i read. Safety is a big issue for me. I live in the Caribbean and i don't have much faith in our doctors here because I think they lack the experience that the doctors in the DR have. Our country is not known for medical tourism or cosmetic surgery. I paid my deposit last week and got my quotation and I'm hoping to have my surgery on November 1st which is 17 days before my 50th birthday. Happy birthday to me. Im stayinh at Arelis Urena RH and I'm very excited to begin my journey.

How long did it take you to get your quote? I sent my info for a consultation a week ago but haven't received my quote yet. I'm excited to follow your journey! I'll be getting the same procedures done in December.

That's great I'm hoping for the same but may have to push my date back because I'm experiencing difficulty getting US dollars to buy in my country. However I'm hoping that I will have the amount on time that's my only concern.

Me too I'm 42 and divorced twice working on my third but I'm still praying for my turn to get my body back and a boost of confidence we both will be fine and I will see u in November
August 22, 2016
My birthday is november 18th and im also twice divorced and getting married next year new husband new body. I keep looking at pics and I'm anticipating life after surgery where i no longer have to feel self conscious and i can enjoy looking at myself naked.
August 22, 2016
Lol girl that's all I want is to like what I see in the mirror people that love me love me just like this and I love myself too that's why I'm giving myself a beauty overhaul I deserve it because my eyes water when I look at how life kids and gravity has taking my once perfect body to this mess it's fixable and in going to fix it it's time
August 22, 2016
I can so relate I'm my worse critic. Ever since I've had my kids in the only one who has a problem with my body but it's not getting any better is it. I would love to wear a bikini after all I live in the Caribbean.

It's been awhile

Its been a while since my last update but I never went very far. I've been here a lot reading and doing my own research. I have since changed my surgery date to January 20th and purchased my ticket. I also got married and my although my husband says I do not need surgery I disagree. I love that he thinks I'm perfect but I don't have to look in the mirror to see what needs doing. It's there and difficult to ignore. I'm also trying to lose weight. I was doing great till my honeymoon and after. My husband lives in another country and I've been visiting every two to three weeks and it's difficult eating right when we go out to eat so often. This trip i'm trying really hard to stick to a healthier diet and drinking lots of water. So I expect to see results soon but I'm not getting on the scale till I get home. I will be home on the 23rd and I will post some more pics then.

How was your surgery? Just checking in!

January 24, 2017
After my last blood test my blood count was at 12.1 which is too low for the procedures im doing. Also due to earlier restrictions on American dollars I was unable to secure the amount I need and presently there is none available in my country.
January 24, 2017
I do not have a new surgery date as yet because I'm monitoring my hemoglobin levels and till it increases there's nothing I can do right now.
