Alright ladies, so today I wired $300.00 deposit to book with Dr. Collado. The coordinator gave me some dates and I choose July 20th 2016. I'm now waiting on a confirmation, so I can book our tickets. My husband will be flying with me. He has family out there and we heard he's a really good doctor. My husband's aunt said she knows the Dr's mother and he studied abroad and is board certified. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm very disappointed with my last surgeon on my tummy tuck and now having to do a revision. I'll post some before pics up soon. So you guys know what im talking about. Lol.. I wish Dr. Collado had more pics up for us to view but I feel secure in my decision and I'm looking forward to meeting him. I'll keep you guys updated..

Im scheduled for 7/21 with Duran...coincidentally I asked a worker at gnc where she was from. I felt like she was from there. Long story short she reached out to her sister an anesthesiologist and she recommended your doctor. I only stayed with Duran BC I see more before and rafters. I know she is looking from a perspective of sterilization as she frequents many clinics. He's super clean. Duran is too she said she doesn't care for the clinic itself

Hey Mama, I was considering Duran as well. She does have alot before and afters. I chose Callado cause he done some work on my husband family members. Exciting, you have surgery the day after me. Keep me posted. I leave on the 19th with my husband, so we can see my mother in law. Are you staying at a recovery house? Im staying at my husband cousin house. Im nervous and excited at the same time. Best wishes to you, we may run into each other depending on when u getting labs done.

Yes I'm coming the same day. I told my mother in law but my hubby doesn't know yet. Im not sure who will come with me but I'm ready for a new me! The anesthesiologist told me she is going to see if Duran has another clinic on Monday. She is considering having your doctor do her boobs that's how much she trusts him. She said he's very natural and doesn't give outrageous curves like Cabral. Its tasteful in a sense. I would feel much better if Duran has another clinic. So many girls are fine but the overnight stay sounds neglectful at times reading these blogs.

Hi love, be careful with Doctor Duran and her clinic. Did you see the news. A Dominican Republic girl dies in that clinic with Doctor Wilfredo Rodriguez Pena who works at the same clinic.

Get in contact with duran regarding the issues with the clinic. As long as it isnt health violations you should be fine. I believe the lady passed away from medical malpractice not due to any clinic issues.

I haven't spoken to Duran yet. I have a coordinator. She said what I expected, that cipla is professional and clean. I know different. I was thinking of sending collado pics. Is he hard to reach? Do you know of a good RH?

I know a couple people who used Dr Collado and they were very pleased with their results. He also cares about you health and won't put your life at risk. Even though he can be a little more expensive than some of the other doctors it's worth it and he is not money hungry.

I feel very nervous too, but excited at the same time. My surgery is scheduled June 13. I can't wait! !!

Yesterday, I booked our airline tickets for my husband and I. I'm leaving a few days prior to surgery to get settled in and make sure I have everything I need. The tickets cost for both of us was $1,200.00. Im planning on staying in DR for 2 weeks. I bought insurance just in case I need to change the dates coming back. Im not trying to leave with the drains, so we will see. I sent my airline reciepts to the coordinator. She in turned sent me a Pre-Op and Post Op instructions. I'll update that in another review.

I heard, my mother in law told me. It's sad, supposely she had a csection 8 mths ago and had alot of work done to her body. Everyone really needs to be healthy and dont overdue it w/ getting alot of procedures done. God bless her and much prayers for her family. Be safe ladies, wish you guys much success and a beautiful banging healthy body..
