Finally Getting the Body I Want and Desire - Dominican Republic, DO

ORIGINAL POST

Just like many of you I have been researching...

$6,850
Just like many of you I have been researching plastic surgery abroad. I had joined many Facebook groups that mentioned many doctors all over the world. The group led me here to real self. To be honest at first I did not like the site because it was not user friendly. I also did not see anyone using the selected doctor.
Fast forward last six month when I finally chose Doctor Tania Medina from DR. I had another doctor in mind but I like the fact that Medina answers your questions and only does two patients at a time. Plus the facility looks beautiful and its very clean. She does not use the other clinic all the other doctors use.
I am not looking for a huge booty, nothing wrong if you do. I want it to look natural. Not saying that I will get the booty greed bug and go for more later on.
My quote included recovery house and airport pick up. She requires a $300.00 deposit to hold a date and its nonrefundable. Its like that with all of them. Additional fees are medicine $250, Massage $300 depending how many you get and required insurance $150.00

Yes I pavked that thanks to you guys. Girls bring hand soap too because they don't provide that either. They wash your clothes twice a week but not ur unmentionables lol. So you might want to bring detergent to wash them

Arrival & complications

ARRIVAL & set back

Ok so I traveled alone and it was not bad at all. Now try to pack light because you will be lugging all that crap back with you. Also if you can get a direct flight home it's worth it. Killing time in an airport is boring as hell. Plus you will be in pain and don't want the hassle.

DR Airport is small and easy to get around. The tourist card bought up front helps a lot due to lines. They check your passport 60k times. Also check your boarding pass against your luggage. Guess so people don't steal them lol

Driver-George is cool peoples. Very nice & will have a card with your name on it. Then he picks you up to go to the clinic for labs. So don't eat too much on the plane or have something really light in the am. Then to the clinic were they do blood work, ekg and urine test. At hospital psychologist meet with you and then you pay. I thought having the psychologist is cool. Everyone is real nice.

If your surgery is the next day you stay at the hospital and if it's not too late they feed you. Can't eat past 10pm. You shower and they will put and IV in for the next day. The nurse I had sucked and I had issues. It's the one with braces just letting you know.

Next morning I found out I had a urine infection from Medina. She was really sweet. Said don't worry you can most likely have surgery on Thursday. Sent me to a urologist
to run test $45.00 US dollars. She checked me and said since I don't have any symptoms and the infection is not that high but no symptoms I should be good. My prescription was $94.00 US dollars. Four shots & 7 days of pill form antibiotic. So double dose.
**** girls get a urine test don't beforee you come to avoid this. I had no clue I had an infection plus no symptoms at all. Get as many test & meds in state because everything is high here. That's it for now

Honestly nothing. Just soap to wash your underwear, small watch cloth, vitamins, pain pills & any others you may have. I have not used anything else. Extension cord is good to since you can't reach outlet. That's all I used. Kilo foam is a big plus. You need that

So I don't need the diapers, pads for bed, and gauzes? Also if you had the TT and BBL how do you sleep?

Girl I am in my butt. There's no other way to sleep. But most doctors tell me no problem sleeping on it. Some pads if you need extra padding.

I got my pain needs from my PCP. Try to get them all in the U.S. It's a lot cheaper.

Excited for you. Pack light doll. Trust me you dont want to carry all that. Maybe a pocket antibacterial soap. No soap in any public bathrooms. Not in the recovery house. Maybe some Advil pm , Benadryl. If you can't sleep or are itchy
