A Better Version of Me - Dominican Republic, DO

Hello RS! Like many of you I am a RS stalker! I...

Hello RS!

Like many of you I am a RS stalker! I have probably read over 1000 reviews and journeys for a few Doctors I was interested in at the beginning of my journey. These days I mostly read reviews on Dr. Almonte because she is the Doctor I have chosen.

A little about me:

I am a mother of 2 beautiful kids, they are my whole world! I can’t imagine my life without them<3 but of course as many of you know and have experienced child birth does a number on your body + 30’s = disaster!

For me it’s about self-confidence I lost a long time ago and yearn to achieve again, a love of self. When I look in the mirror I HATE what I see. When I feel good about myself…inside and out…I am a better woman and a better mom. So needless to say, I am ready to be the best VERSION of myself.

Stats; I am 36 5’4 170lbs. This is the biggest I’ve ever been EVER! I try to work out and eat healthy and for the most part I do but If I must be honest I put in maybe 60% into it. Not because I am lazy or not dedicated enough or even not wanting it bad enough but simply because I am a working mom. I have a full time career and juggle 2 kids, homework, dinner, bath time, cleaning and maintaining a house hold IT IS A LOT!!!

Why I chose Dr. Almonte:

When I first started my journey and I made the decision to finally reach out to the doctors I was interested in I got a quotes for a few doctors in the US. I was completely blown away by the prices and instantly knew it would not be possible for me

to get this done. In researching on RS I kept coming across reviews for doctors in the D.R and being curious I started to read them and was completely blown AWAY!!! Not just by the prices but by the work itself some of these doctors do. No doubt some

of them have a gift but DAMN!!! The US can never compete with these doctors!! They just don’t know how to sculpt a women’s body like the Caribbean PS do. Now this has never occurred to me even with being Dominican myself ( I was born in the US) but

it sparked something in me and I began RESEARCH…….

The first doctor that caught my attention immediately was Dr. Duran. She has handing out bangin bodies to everyone! I love her worked so naturally I requested a quote from her in Dec. 2013. While I was waiting on her to get back to me I was reading reviews on

Every and anyone who had work done with her and while I read a lot of good things about her work there were more than enough disturbing instances that some of the dolls experience such as waking up while they were in surgery and feeling pain and more than enough reviews about the aftercare in her facility. Now, YES I WANT A BANGIN BODY but not at the expense of that. So needless to say I felt like that was probably not the best choice for me so I started research again.( btw- till this day I still have never heard back or received a quote from Dr. Duran)

I came across the magnificent Dr. Almonte. Every review I have ever read about her is pretty consistent with from her work to her after care and most importantly her genuine care for you and your health. I sent Lesley a message requesting a quote and maybe

a day later I received it. I was shocked! Because I never heard back from Dr. Duran I expected the quote to take a while but it didn’t. That was my first sign that this was a good choice for me. Since then I have been in contact with Dr. Almonte and Lesley on the regular.

My surgery is scheduled for 3/17/2016. I have my flight booked, my passport and tourist card, all my supplies and casual clothes, my FMLA was approved I have done my physicals and blood work although I am due for one more before I leave just to make sure my Hemo is where it needs to be.

What I am getting done:

I am having a TT, Full body lipo and a BBL. I also wanted to do a breast lift but I will go back for that next year.

We are a sisterhood, let’s look out for each other and support each other in this transformation Journey! 2016 is OUR YEAR LADIES XOXO

ps: I will try my best to keep anyone who is following my journey informed as it is a HUGE pet peeve of mine when I start reading someone’s review and there are no updates, no pictures NOTHING!!!

Your quote from Alomonte didn't include the recovery house
March 18, 2016
It did but since I was on a budget and they included all the messages I decided to book my own recovery house. Which is Sea Lilly. They are by your side at all times, helping and making you feel comfortable so far I love them.
