So after cyber stalking this site for 4 months...

So after cyber stalking this site for 4 months I've finally decided to post my journey. I came across this site by accident and ever since I did I'm like a crack addicted junkie looking to get my next fix. I guess i will just start at the beginning and tell you all about myself but first I wanna thank all the wonderful women (and men) cant forget y'all...who have had the courage to post their dreams, journeys, experiences, support and advice on this site because without that, I wouldn't be posting this. I am a 44 year old mother of 2 boys, ages 26 and 17. I am originally from the UK but moved to Cali 18 years ago, I am 5'8" and 190lbs. I have a good frame but with age and lack of exercise everything is heading south of the border (and i don't mean Mexico). I am looking to get a tummy tuck, BBL and lipo everywhere from my rooter to my tooter. I am recently married to a younger guy (11 yrs) and he loves me the way I am but this is something I have wanted to do even before I met him but didn't have the finances. Well, he just got a second job to help pay for all this and now my dream is finally a reality. +He is as excite+d+ as I am. I told him h+e's gonna feel like he's cheating after I'm done..lol +He said "don't be thinking you are going to be going to the gym+ by yourself" I said, yup, sure am and I will be there in a pair of white Daisy Dukes on the stair stepper in the middle of the floor...lol. I am going to upload some before pictures and also some wish pics. Hopefully I can inspire someone else thinking about this surgery as much as you guys have inspired me

Hi, I am glad you are posting your journey. I am going to Dominican Republic myself in the first week of July with Dr. Yily De Los Santos. I have to pay my fee tomorrow to hold the date. I will be going with my best friend she is also having a procedure done as well. As for me I am doing TT, Lipo and BBL. I am currently looking for a recovery house that is affordable and yet give high quality service. I as well will be posting my journey as well as soon as I have my date set in stone. Ok goodluck on your journey I wish you the best.

Yay my first comment. Good luck to you and your gf in your journey, I will be following you. Dr Lily was my first choice and I actually got a quote from her in about 3 days, she sure knows how to snatch a body. I was also looking at Dr Duran but never tried to contact her because everyone said she was do hard to get hold of but then I thought what have i got to lose..I emailed her and got a response back the same day. Was I shocked!!!!! Anyhow, I'm a little conflicted because I love both these women. Ahhh decisions decisions..I still have enough time to make up my mind do we'll see.

Yes I was considering Dr. Duran but its hard to reach her and I even tried today and the lady said that she has about 120 emails ahead of me and from what that sounds like I wont get surgery until next year, so I called Dr. Yily office today and I know I have my date for july 6 and my friend july 7 so I have to send deposit and make it the date set in stone. I am hoping some other girls go around that date so we can share a room in the recovery house or even rent a hotel suite and share expenses. I do not know what to do but I will keep researching to find some recovery house that is affordable or hotel.

oh and when did you contact Dr. Duran?
March 19, 2015
Sunday morning..trust me I was shocked when I got a response that quick. I read a few times that's she picks and chooses who she wants to work with which I hope isn't true cause that's bs...

So great to read your story and sooo funny. Glad to hear about hubby being on board that makes it ALL the better & easier. Will hubby be traveling with you? I'm going to post my post-op pics with my NEW/OLD body...looking forward to having that 35yr old body BACK (lol)
March 19, 2015
No he won't be coming with me, he's in school getting military benefits and if he misses too much he dont get paid
March 19, 2015
Have you gotten an estimate yet?
March 19, 2015
Not yet but she usually is just slightly higher than Yily by a couple hundred dollars. Yily quoted me $4500 for TT, BBL and lipo or $5500 with same procedure and 10 days in a recovery house and all post op meds.
March 19, 2015
Wow okay. Do they speak English? My boyfriend is from there but I would like to be able to communicate.
March 19, 2015
I guess so, they have hundreds of girls going there from the us so I'm sure they do

Hello there this is the first time I'm leaving a comment here what drew me to say something is how much we got in common. I also been stalking this site for several months and although I haven't done my surgery yet I'm planning on doing it early next year. I'm also getting the exact same thing as you. And it's funny my husband is eleven years younger then me too..
June 21, 2015
How funny. I'm now on IG more than I'm on here. There's way more support. Hit me up of you want to follow me on there

Girl you dont have a bad body at all, you could really tone up and probably wouldn't need surgery.
March 19, 2015
That'd what everyone days but girl I been trying and after having a c section this stomach isn't going anywhere

Damn spellcheck

I know all about that c section pouch lmao! I had 2 and even after working out and going vegan that pouch was still there. I do think that Duran is going to do an amazing jon on you because you have a good frame. Good luck girl! Keep us posted xoxo
March 19, 2015
Thanks!!! I feel like a damn kangeroo. I don't even let my husband see or feel my stomach which is sad..he can't keep his hands off me now so I don't know what I'm gonna do after the sx...smh, not that I'm complaining but a girls gotta at least be able to go to work...lol

Lmaooo, that's awesome, yeah but I understand that you want to do something that would make you feel better
March 19, 2015
Yup, next challenge is finding somewhere to stay. Every place has good and bass reviews so I'm torn because if I stay somewhere and it sucks I don't wanna have to catch a case out there since I won't have money to bail myself out especially after posing all this money for surgery...

Was just reading a HORRIBLE review of a RH from a recent patient 12/14 Well look into Armonia & Serenity House they both seem to have EXCELLENT reviews Also TYPE in "DOMINICAN REPUBLIC RECOVERY HOUSE REVIEWS" and READ, READ, READ

Yes I have been researching but I want to know prices as well. I am trying to narrow down my search, because calling over there is expensive. I made a 100 dollars of international calls trying to get in contact with Dr. Duran and all I get is the run around.
March 20, 2015
Argh all this is giving me a headache lol
March 20, 2015
Recovery houses, I think are just capitalizing on this medical tourism stuff. $100 is allot just for a quote, have you thought about going through bellavita? They'll get your date and secure your quote and its $200
User Avatar
March 20, 2015
whats the name of the recent patient?
March 20, 2015
I read so many reviews I have no idea..but worse case I was gonna go through bellavita. I figure the $200 is worth it to get the body you want

Hey Britgrl, I already have a date with Dr. Yily for July 6 so I am just gonna go with her because she is head to head with Dr. Duran when it comes to to bbl and tummy tuck and Dr. Yily really sculpts well.
March 20, 2015
That's for sure, she knows what she's doing. I haven't 100% ruled her out yet but she is my second choice. I have enough time so I'm gonna keep reading reviews and see what people are saying about both doctors. I'm so excited for you, your sx is right around the corner
