Hello glryb2gd, reading your journey I just had to fill you in on a few things that I've learned, know and experience from the United States, to Dominican Republic and to Mexico. I'm so happy Realself excess because it gives people a choice to talk to others on experience and you are able to get some knowledge on info you didn't know or learned here about Doctor's and surgeries. I would like to tell you a little about myself and what I've learned and experience since I started my journey. I live in the U.S. and did my research on doctor's here and also had a BBL done in Miami, Fl. I've also had Lipo done in New York City. I've search for good doctor's in the United states for years and it is like connecting the dots. I would start here in Miami, looking a good doctor then I find one in Georgia, then I would find one in Cali, then one in New York then I'm right back here in Miami trying to decide what state will I go to in order to have my procedure done. When I call up on a doctor in the united states the first thing they would say is don't go to a foreign country to have surgery. After checking out the doctor's here in united states, most don't get a patient everyday and after they give you the procedure, they send you home without any phone calls to see if you are dead or alive. I went over to the Dominican Republic with a friend because we were going to do the buddy thing and get the Tummy tuck, BBL and Lipo. Well, my friend had her procedure done but I didn't because of my EKG reading wasn't right. Well, I knew it wasn't going to be right because I always have a problem with my EKG reading until I take my stress test and then everything would be fine with me. Dr. Almonte was very truthful with me and said she didn't feel comfortable doing my procedure due to the EKG testing. I was fine with that and very happy because if she would have said ok I can do you now, I would have said, Bi*ch, are you out of your mind and you see my reading wasn't right but Dr. Almonte is a great doctor. I stayed there for a few days to have my friends out and came back home. On the other hand, looking for a Recovery house anywhere in the States, D.R. or wherever research on who they have working for them because recovery houses are there to help you with your healing and trust me, some of the girls that work there don't know what the hell they are doing because the house just want to make money. In Dominican Republic I seen everything and I was so happy I didn't do the procedures because there was NO way I was going to be able to go right back to work. In the united states, doctors are only allow to remove 5 ounces of fat from your body but in other countries they can remove more and it is safe. You see, United States have laws just like other countries. Some people feel like just because you go to other countries to have your procedures done its unsafe but that's not true. I know for a fact that the doctors in the United states would only do one and sometimes 2 procedures because they want you to come back to charge you more money. Other countries know it's safe and the reason my people say they are cheap that's is not true either because Dominican republic is a poor country and $5200 dollars to them is a lot of month and that is why a lot of women from there can't have surgery because they can't afford it. So ladies, when you are searching for a great doctor, I WOULD WANT A DOCTOR WHO DOES 2 AND 3 PATIENTS A DAY WITH A LOT OF EXPERIENCE THEN WITH A DOCTOR WHO MAY GET ONE A DAY. LETS BE SMART AND DO YOUR RESEARCH AND LOOK AT THEIR PATIENTS OUTCOME AND THAT WILL TELL YOU A LOT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT DOMINICAN REPUBLIC DOCTORS CAN GIVE YOU AND CLEAN, NEAT, AND THIN INCISION AND THAT IS HARD TO FIND. SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND HAPPY HEALING.
NOW, WHEN I LEFT DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, I WENT TO MEXICO AT THE OCC WITH DOCTOR MARTINEZ AND DR. ORTIZ AND HAD THE GASTRIC SLEEVE AND IN ONE MONTH I LOSE 34 LBS. AND I FEEL GREAT. I WISH I HAD DONE THIS A LONG TIME AGO. In 6 months I'm going back to Dominican Republic or Columbia to have my procedures done. I said to myself my get lipo done on your stomach or legs when I can lose weight all over my body with the Sleeve. My best move ever. Good luck ladies.

Hi glryb2gd, I once thought if I get my tummy tuck, Lipo, and BBL that would solve my problem of weight loss but after leaving Dominican Republic, I decided to do it the right way for me and that was to loss the weight first and then go back and get the procedures done. Now, I know I made the right decision because I'm so happy because I'm losing weight all over my body and I'm loving it. You see, getting lipo in one area just remove fat from that area of the body but I had to ask myself what about the other parts of your body that has fat? I would have loss a lot of money if I had the procedures done because after losing so much weight then you need to have the procedures to tighten up your skin and that is when you are going to see yourself 15 years younger. The gastric sleeve was not painful at all for me. I just had a lot of gas pain which was uncomfortable for a few days. In one month I'm down 35 lbs. and counting. So for all of the big girls out there that want to get your procedures done, you have to try to get your weight down at least under 150 to see a great shape and a faster healing time. Really, it's all about you looking great and being health at the same time.
