Tummy Tuck,Lipo, BBL and Breast Lift with Implant - Dominican Republic, DO

44 yrs young with 2 children 21 and 8. Like everybody else I have been stalking RealSelf for a while now. I have been back in forth between U S doctors and the Republic then back and forth with Dra's in Republic. I have finally nailed it down to Dra Tania Medina. My surgery is less than a month away and I'm excited and very nervous at the same time. I've been wanting to do this for years and since I'm 100% sure I'm not having anymore children, I've decided to do something for me for a change. I haven't shared the fact I'm going out of the country to have surgery done because I know my family will not support my decision to have my surgery out of the states (I don't need the negativity), so with that said I'm going alone. I'm so ready to get rid of this kangaroo pouch I have no need for it anymore. I want to get a tt,bbl,lipo of back, flanks and waist, breast lift with implants but that depend on my blood level of course. Your levels has to be over 12 for one procedure, over 13 for 2 and over 14 for 3 procedures. The surgery price includes recovery house and transportation. Unfortunately I'm unable to upload my pics, hopefully at some point I will figure it out, smh. Till next time dolls.

Well dolls I had a very Stressful couple of days, as usual me and my last minute self just started the process of sending for a passport, SMH! I don't have the correct birth certificate (no parents listed) to request a passport, so needless to say I was stressed, until I found out I can go to vital records and request one and receive it in 5 businsess days. I spent over 4 hours in that place (9:20am-1:37pm) I think I'm a very patient person and my patience was really being tested. So of course I have to pay extra for a rush passport which I was going to do anyway but the less days you have the more money you pay. I really didn't expect to get a surgery date 4 weeks after I paid my downpayment. So dolls that was my surgery journey today. Now I'm nervouse about the surgery and getting my passport on time. Till next time dolls.

So I had to pay $150 (rush passport),$170 (passport fee) $25 process fee and $20 (birth certificate) yeah I know. My passport will be ready Wed. 4/29 then I'm all set to travel. So let me tell ya'll what vitamins I'm taking. Vit C, B-complex, folic acid, multi vit, mega food blood builder and Salus-Haus - Floradix Iron & Herb all from Amazon.

I have everything on this list plus boppy pillow, passport case that goes around my neck and neck roll for plane ride. I'm trying to take necessary items only. I'm really not sure if I should put surgical items in my suitcase or carry on. My nerves aren't as bad but I have days where I'm questioning my decision which is nerve wrecking. I just keep asking God to keep me. I haven't told anyone in my family yet but I will tell at least one family member (not sure who yet) certainly not my mother she will probably have a nervous breakdown. Well dolls that's my surgery journey thus far. Till next time dolls!
