I'm excited to be getting this procedure completed. I am not interested in a BBL, but a TT and as much lipo as humanly possible. I am 5'9" and 207lbs, size L or 12/14.At my highest weight, I was 282lbs. I had a vertical sleeve done with only minimum weight loss (stopped at 50lbs exactly). I've been back to the yo-yo diets every since. I got by first CBC 3 weeks ago and my hemo was only 11.8. A 12 is required for any procedure and a 13 for more than one procedure so I loaded up on iron, beets and shakes and got it up to 12.8 in about 2 weeks. I still have 3 weeks so I am hoping to be at 14 by the time I arrive in DR. I am staying at New Life and have already been in contact with Massiel via WhatsApp just to introduce myself and find out what to expect. She was very responsive. She also told me no need to bring gloves, chux, cotton, alcohol and tape. That will make my bag a bit lighter. I'm going to do my best to keep my profile updated. My procedure date is July 4, 2016 and I will arrive in DR on July 2, 2016 and return home on July 16, 2016. I read that it is best to arrive at least two days ahead of surgery in order to lesson the risk of a blot clot so I will get there early and walk, walk, walk! I've been to over 20 countries and love to travel so I'm happy to be getting another stamp on my passport AND a new tummy!

I take one or two iron pills a day. That beet shake that I have on my pictures every other other day, added vitamin C and chlorophyll to help my body absorb the iron. I added a table spoon of liquid iron last week that I do every other day because I don't want to overdo it. I've been semi-anemic forever and never did anything about it. Now I have so much more energy and I'm not cold all the time. Should have done this years ago!

And my smoothie recipe is raw spinach, cut up beets and mixed frozen fruit. Any kind. I blend it with orange juice. It's not very sweet but you get used to it. Good luck!

I don't know where it is. I found that on a Facebook post. I'm sure they come to the recovery houses.

That I do not know. I have a passport. If you have time, just get the passport expedited. It's much easier to travel with than to be trying to figure out what documents you need where.
