WORTH IT$4,800

So I've been searching for about a year for the right doctor. After much thought I have chosen Dr Campos Leon. I'm getting a BBL, I've always had a flat butt and I have always hated it. I cant even remember the last time I wore a short that didn't go past my butt. I'm excited an nervous to get this procedure done. I would have never thought I would be brave enough to do any type of cosmetic procedure ....and to go out of the country to do it!!!! I have chosen, based off recommendation to stay at Club Med. I hoping that I can get some questions answered from people who have already had this procedure done.

1. Was it scary staying in TJ? You hear some awful things about that place .
2. Did anyone else stay at a recovery home? How was it? Transportation?
3. DId anyone have trouble getting in and out of Mexico without a passport?
4. Where did you get your labs done? The instructions Angie sent had the labs needed but I cant find a lab that will take those as official orders?

Im sure I will have many many questions along the way and I am so thankful that I found realself ....what a great support group!

Good questions, I wanna know the answers to them too!! I'm thinking about going to Campos!

June 27, 2014

No answers yet? I seen a list of items every one has taken....who provided that list because I didn't get a list of anything from Angie? What about plane ride home? I will have to sit for 4 1/2 hours!

Hello I too am getting sx with Campos in less than 2 months. I have a lot of ?s myself but as far as getting a lot of info there is a website called make me heal .com that u could find helpful, As far as labs Angie told m i could get those w my US dr. Ive heard if u cross the border once w/o passport its not a big deal, but the second time it might.., i have one so i havent had any problems.

July 1, 2014

Thanks Gemini60... Good luck with your procedure. As far as labs... I actually work in 2 major laboratories in my area and they wont take those papers as an order. :( I did find a website called walkinlabs.com you can actually order your own labs and they are pretty reasonable. I did my passport card since I will be driving in from San Diego. I was told that I wouldn't need it but I got it anyway. I did see that website but I found a lot more negative comments on there...don't you think? I just read many reviews about what all these girls what taking and I just want to be prepared. Right now I am going back and forth with what Recovery home to use. Are you staying at one?

July 1, 2014

Hi Yes i will b staying at casa de las Lilas which was recommended by Campos staff... Hopefully all will go well ive never had any major surgery done in Mexico.

July 1, 2014

Yeah I just emailed them as well. Just waiting on a response. Please keep me updated....I will send prayers your way!!!! :)

July 2, 2014

Thank so much likewise i will keep u im my prayers. Can i ask what u are getting done?

July 6, 2014

Hi, chloeG! Congrats on ur upcoming sx! So to answer some of ur questions I never had problems while in Tj I didnt stay at a recovery house I stayed at city express hotel right next to the Drs offices and that was great cuz u could just walk to his office. Oh and the hotel is awesome, breakfast and the room is cool. As in for the labs I had them done thr with dr campos, it was convenient, only 80 buck. I dont have insurance so it was cheaper for me to do them thr. I would recommend getting a passport cuz border people will just give u a hard time. I have a sentri card which is like a passport but much better for crossing the border. Shorter line wait.

July 6, 2014

Thanks for the info calibomb . I did get my passport card. I didn't want to take any chances. Did you stay in the hotel alone or did you have a companion? I will be traveling alone that is why I am staying at a recovery home. How much early did you go to have your labs completed?

July 7, 2014

I went 3 weeks b4 my surgery.I had my aunt stay with me but didnt need her help like I thought I would. I managed to do everything myself but she did serve as a companion so I wouldnt b bored.

July 7, 2014

Oh ok. I cant go 3 weeks ahead. Im from Michigan. Ive priced the labs and they are about $400. :( Question I never asked, are you happy with your results?

July 8, 2014

Well, what can I say.....I luv my results. I would recommend Dr Campos to everybody if they ask. I so luv my waist, my new shape and booty.

July 10, 2014

Great...just seen your pics...talk about BOOTY!!!! You look great! I cant wait to fill in a bikini bottom like that!

July 10, 2014

THANK YOU! If u decide to go with campos you'll love ur results.

July 11, 2014

Campos it is... Pd for and awaiting my date! I hope I look as good as you!!!!

July 11, 2014

Omg how exciting i have less than 2 months , so excited for us :)

July 11, 2014

Are you staying at the recovery home afterall?

July 11, 2014

Oh I bet u will......you'll especially luv ur new shape...maxi dresses become ur best friend...they make ur curves shine....

July 11, 2014

Calibomb...I cant wait!!!!!! gemini60 I have decided to stay at Club Med. I have a friend who just stayed there and she RAVED about that place. I was hoping for some other responses about the recovery homes but no one did :( . Ive read many many comments about that place and they have for the most part have all been great.

July 12, 2014

I heard that campos office doesnt service anyone who plans to stay at clubmed is that true or just a rumor??

July 12, 2014

I don't know anything about that. I stayed at the city express hotel next to campos office. I think it's a waist of money to stay at a recovery house for more than 3 days. Depending on how self sufficient u r and ur pain tolerance u really can manage on ur own. But then again that's me.

July 12, 2014

Alot of people say there good. I would just tell campos ur staying in tj and that's it. U don't have to give them all the details. Stay where u want and what u can afford.

July 12, 2014

Thx yea only because i heard they have to give u a ride to the drs office for massages, and that it was too far from his office, but yea i dont plan on staying too long , we will see how it goes ...

July 12, 2014

Question calibomb, did u fit into ur jeans and clothes after ur bbl? Im curious or do u have to buy a bigger size? Haha

July 12, 2014

You know what, I still have trouble finding pants that fit right. I've been sticking to super stretch pants and a lot of maxi dresses cuz they make ur body and booty stand out.

July 12, 2014

Hey Ladies, I don't think that is true. I told Angie that I would be staying at Club Med and she that would be fine . I don't understand how they could deny services after the surgery is paid for.

July 12, 2014

Well , im going back for round 2. I want my booty bigger. Dont get me wrong I luv it now but I just want it bigger.

July 12, 2014

So confirmation email from Angie right now.... They have absolutely NO issues with Club Med. She said its a wonderful place to stay however the Dr is concerned with the distance from the clinic. Its the furthest one out. Enough said for me. I will look into Beauty Care or Grace.

July 20, 2014

Hey, I saw some questionable reviews on Beauty Care? Please message me what you find out about recovery homes. I read a lot of good things about club Med so far.

July 27, 2014

Thank you ! very sweet

May 26, 2017

Did you ever find a list of what to take? Have my date coming up in a couple of months and want to be well prepared

2 1/2 months to go!

ChloeGJuly 11, 2014

Still waiting and getting things together. Purchased my airline tickets!!! WooHoo.. Firgured if I get these things one pay check at a time my wallet wont feel the sting. Tickets weren't bad... $344 round trip. Im hoping on my way back I can upgrade to first class because I am worried about sitting on my new booty for too long. Return trip is 3 hrs 55 min. YIKES that's a long trip. I don't even know if I can lay down in first class??? Thanks Calibomb & Gemini60 for your communication. It helps. I want this surgery more than anything ...but I am a bundle of nerves. I received my lipo foam the other day in the mail. Ive already been taking the Bromelain and CoQ10. Anyone else taking vitamins? Anyhow... I will keep you all up to date.

Where did you get your foam board?

UPDATED FROM ChloeG

3 months pre

Still 2 1/2 months away

ChloeGJuly 13, 2014

Has anyone stayed at Casa De Lilas? That place is recommended per Dr Campos office instructions but it really is so hard to choose when you really know nothing about those places. Can someone please provide a little feed back??????

Hello miss chloe.. I am exactly one month and 13 days away from my bbl with Campos i have started taking multi vitamins and have already puechased most of my stuff. I will start taking arnica a few days prior and after the sx. I still need to buy the lipo board, waist clincher, and the compression socks... I also sent my deposit for casa de las lilas... Its gonna be here before i know it. I really want this too !!

July 14, 2014

Im not going to October but already started the multivitamins including Bromelain. I have my lipo foam and compression stockings but what is the arnica used for? I googled it but I guess Im not understanding why take it before?

July 14, 2014

The arnica pills taking them a few days before and after help w ur healing to prevent so many bruises, they help to keep the swelling minimum and help ur joints and what not... Its basically a healing medecine. I have used it as an ointment on cuts and bruises on my kids it works very well :)

Hourglassbodyplease

July 18, 2014

Hey girl what's the lipo foam for??

July 18, 2014

Lipo foam is used so the garment won't create dents and so u could have that smoothness and no irregularities especially the first couple weeks.

July 18, 2014

That's also to help with bruising and swelling.

Hourglassbodyplease

July 18, 2014

Also what vitamins should I get? And what else do you recommended my surgery is in 3 weeks

July 18, 2014

I never took vitamins all I took was comfy cloths, maxi dresses a funnel for peeling and that's about it..oh and a nippy pillow.....I don't know why u need all that other stuff people take. U do need a second garment just to hAve while u wash the other one.

July 18, 2014

Im only taking Bromelain at this point its to help with bruising.

You have to have either a passport or a passport card to cross between san diego and T J.

August 3, 2014

I don't think you have to have the passport card. Marvin from Beauty Care said that its not necessary if you have your ID and birth certificate but I did go ahead and got my passport card. It was only $35
