Breast Lift and Implant Exchange!- Dominican Republic

I wouldn't have post this had you lovely ladies not have been so wonderful about the review. I literally held my breath Reading the comments. Here are the pics as confirmation. The walls that had the water stains and black "streaks" from condensation. Were painted over once I complained but paint doesn't get rid of cough producing mold! We were all displaced into the hot common area
So the water damage could be painted over since it was in every room. Woke up to hammering one am, I understand renovations need to be done but none of us were told in advance, even when it was going to be in our room.

Ok sorry to keep you waiting for a review, I had seriously considered writing nothing. But after returning home i couldnt fathom sending anyone off to DR and picking this RH because i was silent. I paid 1300- 1400 for 16 days and for that price I could have gotten more for the same price. Dr Goico has taken serenity off his list. Meaning the ones that are still listed are ones he has varying degrees of confidence in.
the good:
The location is safe,
someone cleans everyday,
you get food,
you get transportation,
that's it.
The bad & the ugly:
there is no Internet connection in the room which wouldn't be a problem if the rest of the house was air conditoned. All the windows and balcony doors are open so when you open your bedroom door you're smacked with sweltering heat and when you inhale youre nostrils are filled with the distinct smell of car exhaust because the condo (although in a posh area) is on the corner of a main street and you haven't seen traffic till you've seen DR traffic. "honking" is the second language everyone lays on their horns and muscles through traffic paying no attention whatsoever to the lights. The most dangerous part of the trip hands down is being in transit! So if you're as serenity, say goodbye to silence and clean fresh air. things i hadnt looked for on a recovery house. Two evenings in a row we saw terrible car accidents... and ppl just hopped out of their car picked up their car pieces and they left! even with earplugs you can't drown out the honking till oh let's see 2am?, my two best days were sundays because there was barely traffic...and rainy days because for a few moments after the air was almost breathable. As you know you can't drink the water, they provide bottled water but it's obvious that the staff doesn't understand why, so they make your drinks & juices soup and use ice with their water...i felt consistantly Ill after each meal lost my appetite after a few bites yet I was hungry I couldn't figure it out till I got home. Ants were on my bed all the time, by the end I went to the bathroom and it was nothing to find one in my underwear. as i statef They Keep THE Windows AND Balcony open in the common area instead of using the ac so unless you ask to.have meals in your room you have to use the common area if you want the sub par food or internet so all the house guests were worried about sweating into our incisions and we did! we each towards the end of the stay ended up taking breakfast and lunch to our rooms and only venturing out after 6pm to the balcony or living room. There were ac units in each room....that were draining down the wall which left streaks of yellow and black all of us had coughs. asked for another house, the owner did adress the situation and had them paint over it and clean the condensation but it was obvious that this was a recurring problem because the wall had multiple water stains that had been repainted and bled through . It could be a great place if changes were made but personally I would advise ppl to stick to Goico's list.

the 4 things I wish I'd brought are:

Monistat! The antibiotics are strong ive taken most and hadnt had this issue in years but of course as the old saying goes "anything that can go wrong...": these antibiotics can wipe you out and leave you in desperate unconsolable need of RELIEF.

OMEPRAZOLE! Did i mention...the antibiotics are rough!? by day 2 I was burping fire Dr FG reccomends omeprazole with all the post op meds but it's not included in the price that you pay for everything (perhaps because the need varies). If you do need it and didn't bring your own, no problem he can write a prescription the pills are cheap but then you have to have someone go to the pharmacy, etc.

You might want to bring Your own soap bar, especially if youre sensitive. My place had a dominican brand protex which irritated my face/eyes but did fine for my body. My face remained irritated with fine bumps the entire trip. Someone kindly gave me a bar of dial and eased my suffering! 

Lastly, any anti itch creme/spray that works for you. Hydrocortisone was a life saver. The mosquitos tore me up!

rethink arnica and Bromelain / quercetin Dr FG doesnt think its necessary for the $ and FYI: both are known to cause rapid heartrate something that should be more prominently listed. I found out the hard way.

hope this helps!
