I am 5'7' and I am 190 pds. I have been dieting for 2 yrs now and its been up and down. All I can think about is having a mommy makeover. My kids are 23, 16 and 5 yrs old. I think this is the right time for me to do something for me. My family is very supportive, however, they are not particularlly happy about me going out the U.S. for surgery. After doing my research, I fell safe and comfortable with going to the DR for my mommy makeover. In addition, I like there work better than the work I've seen with the doctors in the U.S.. I have selected to go with Dra Walkiris Robles, after reaching out to there team my quote is: $5900 for "Tummy tuck + liposuction on waist, armpits + Breast Lift". This is all inclusive covering surgery, Medical Fee's: $4900, Post Surgical Support Garment or Bra: $150,- Medicine:$100.00, Transportation: $100.00, Recovery House 10 days (US$75 P/N): $750.00. I just got my passport last week. I had a CBC test yesterday, blood work for my thryoid level and i have a cardiologist appt 07-10-14. In addition i will be wiring my deposit today to reserve my surgery date. Im looking for buddy to go with, hit me up if your going soon. Or if anyone can give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

07-15-14 Confirmed date and Airplane Ticket Purchased

Hello, sorry I have been away for a few days, my little girl graduated kindergarden and you would have thought she graduated college with the big party we had for her. My car broke, so I was just busy getting back in order. However, my airplane ticket was purchased today, flying to DR on 07-15-14. I got an email from Laura advising me of all the medicines I should be taken/or not taken. So from this point on I will be exercising and eating healthy everyday till surgery day. I'm so nervous, but have faith that God will get me through this and bring me home to my family after surgery. I weighed in at 189 pounds today, I intend on getting down to 180 pounds for surgery.

HI there.. I'm supposed to be scheduled for the 15th as well with Robles. She's jerking me around at this point, after I sent my deposit and bought my plane tickets. Can't get them to respond, ugh.

I'm sorry to hear that! Laura responds to my emails, sometimes it takes 24 hours, but she does get back to me. Also I correspond via text ********, I have also called there office before and they answered every time I called ******

Great! I'm all for it, I fell a whole lot better that I know now other people will be there with me, that I can relate to.

Mixmatch looks like Robles has 4 ppl on the 16. Me, you, Keyandra, and dropdeaddiva
July 3, 2014
Omg...I hope that she can do all of us...because originally I was on the 15th and they changed my date for some reason
July 3, 2014
I've read she does 4 people tops a day....don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I hope there's no others out there that's scheduled for that day as well!!
July 4, 2014

I am trying to leave July 14th... I'll be flying from jax to miami.... Just waiting for the ok from Laura...... Any one else.... Maybe we can exchange cell numbers?
July 2, 2014
what day are you having surgery? I fly out on the 13th and arrive in DR on the 14th and surgery on the 15th
July 2, 2014
I made a mistake and booked my flight to come home on the 29th and it should have been the 26th. I called the airport to change the flight and they want to charge me $440. What day are you returning home?
July 3, 2014
Yikes! I fly out on the 13th and return on the 24th . . are you paying the $440 or what?
July 3, 2014
I think it may be cheaper to just stay there 3 extra days. I'm going to ask Laura if that's possible. Do you have any information on Virginia's House maybe I can check with them directly.
July 3, 2014
Actually after looking at the calendar my husband thinks I should go the 9th..... So I'm waiting for her to get back with an ok

Weighed in 186 pounds today!
mixmatch312July 2, 2014
I'm so excited I weighed in at 186 pounds this morning. I have been eating healthy and walking. I want to get down to 180 pounds before I leave on the 15th of July. I went shopping yesterday and got all my items needed for the trip. I still have a few things I would like to get. However, I did make a mistake and booked the wrong return back flight. I wanted to come home on the 26th and booked for the 29th of July. I called the airline and they want to charge me $440 to change my flight. Do anyone think I will be able to stay at the recover house a few more days?
