I just booked my flight and scheduled surgery for Sept 7th. I still have to decide on a recovery house to stay for a week but am leaning towards the serenity house. I am nervous already, yet excited. I am traveling from PA with my husband who has family out there. Do to a work injury I haven't been able to excersize in 2 years so I am all flab. Just so out of shape and can't seem to tone up. I can't wait to wear clothes I have been dieing to wear without the bulges. I am 45yrs, 5'3, 164lbs. Anyone else gone to ...or is going to Dr tactuk? I see he has great reviews but few. He was the only one who contacted me rt away and made suggestions using my photos. 3 months to go!!! Any advice?

I thought I would link you up with some discussions going on about Recovery Houses:

I would also encourage you to introduce yourself in the check-in forums to connect with others preparing for their big day -- there you can discuss pre-op tips and meet some recovery buddies. Since you're having multiple procedures I've sent you a few links where you can stop by and say hi:

Hello doll,
I'm planning a surgery with him on sept 12. My date haven't secured yet. Did you make a deposit for him to secure your date?
Let me tell you that after severals researches on the web, I think he is the only one PS in DR who doesn't have a Skelton In his closet related to fatalities.
However, I still don't understand why he has a few review on RS ???
In addition, he's so Hunan, response quickly and definitely not a seller like the other ones.
For the RH, I'm debating between Serenity or Armonia..
Good luck!

That is nerve racking to hear all the sketchy Dr.s out there. I am so happy to here someone else is using him. I was a little nervous. Yes, he responds very quickly and gives honest opinion. I did book with him by showing my flight itinerary. He doesn't require a deposit to hold the date, just airline confirmation. I haven't heard of Armonia so I will check it out also. :)

Armonia has a FB page. They response very quickly. Same day.
As I can see on the photos, this is a mansion. It seems very clean. Price seem the same as the other RH.

Oh so after me.. I'm the 7th. I am still not sure where I will stay for rh. My husband is going with me but he will be staying at his family's house while I'm in rh. Have you decided? Serenity is all I hear about.

A pal told me about "de la paz RH" . Very affordable and they offer 3 massages as a Welcome gift. If you stay for at least 8 days, transportation will be free ( airport+4 followup) . I'm thinking seriously about them. Have contacted the lady by Whats App, she replied very quickly.
They have a facebook page also. It seemslike that lymphatic massage there is amazing. They drain you nicely and efficiently. Go see the massage video on their FB page. God!;))

I have 5 weeks left and it's getting real now. I'm excited yet second guessing myself. I bought a few things but with so much going on this month I don't have time to process it all. Lol. Maybe that's a good thing. Dr Tactuk has been so quick to reply to all my concerns. I had many questions and he answers each and every one of them. He is the reason I feel at ease. At least he is the one answering all the questions and right away may I add again. I can't wait to see his work on my body!!! ????
