Welcome to the community.  I have heard of others who stay at all inclusive hotels after surgery.  They seem to like it and are taken care of pretty well.   Jump into the Tummy Tuck Forums and talk to others about what they have done.

The recovery house is a must pay for the vip package this is a third world country trust me. Rocio was very nice and clean and it took all the worry and stress out of an already stressful situation

Is the driver included?
October 19, 2016
Yes

Good luck . Would you share how you sent your deposit? I want to go to the same doctor , but I don't want to get scam. The struggle of coming up with the money is real.

How did you get in contact with him I'm waiting on my PayPal information so I can send my deposit but it's been two days now should I contact him on the WhatsApp
November 4, 2016

I feel the same way, I like to privacy of being in a hotel but going there alone may not be a good idea. I'll be traveling from Georgia to Miami and will stay in the RH there. You do know how you'll feel afterwards so having that help of there staff and assistance is what you need. Look at it as a painful but exciting vacation. I have three children so although there will be nothing but drains, stitches and discomfort, it'll be a break, AND you'll have a new body. I'm nervous about the pain. I can't tolerate the least bit of pain that do sub-sty within a certain amount of time. I'm praying the pain level stays under control. I'm sooo ready and nervous at the same time!

I had some complications the day after, my blood was low and my body rejected the transfusion giving me a alergic reaction immediately soon as they tried to give it to me. I did go with my fiance we had to cancel our remaining days at our resort because mallol wanted me to be monitored by a nurse, so we went to a recovery house of his choice.

Tummy Tuck & Lioo With Dr. Mallol

The count down is real. Kind of feeling overwhelmed, I never got on a plane or visited another country, but Dr. Mallol and his staff has been great, which is a plus. I will be posting my before pictures and after pictures. I am doing a documentry on my whole experience, which I to will share. I just can't wait to be back home starting my healing process.
