I was set on traveling to Harold Villalobos in...
WORTH IT$4,200
I was set on traveling to Harold Villalobos in cali Colombia, but doing more digging I was just scared and not impressed. His stomach work comes out looking botched and he doesn't do thorough work on back fat areas or really snatch a waist like PANTOJA does. So today (June 12, 2016) I made my new decision based on all the wonderful things you girls have posted. The decision became a no brainer!
Just a few questions though, how far out is he booked? I just emailed today and want ASAP. I put a 300 deposit with the other doctor and bought a 700$ ticket to Colombia but thank goodness for travel protection (ticket refund!)
What is the expected down payment to secure surgery? Where do you girls recommend staying?
I can't wait to get this process rolling!!!

Yay! Just got off the phone with Stephanie (super nice and accommodating) and I'm scheduled for September 26!! I asked if she had any openings or cancellations in August to let me know. But I'm loving the manners and helpfulness of the staff already! EXCITED!!

Just about 8 weeks until surgery date!
I'm starting to get really excited and time is finally flying by. I had to remind my bf how soon my surgery is coming up! He's so sweet he's paying for it, and happy to do so. I feel so spoiled!
Sorry for the lack of updates but can you girls give me a run down of the things I'll need as far as creams, meds( I'm bringing stronger pain pills also, the mexican ones feel like Tylenol to me) and all the necessities? ( ordering dr miami booty buddy this week) Should I start taking iron pills or is that not necessary?
Also, what should I plan to bring money wise for the massages, food, transportation and all that while I'm there? Also dumb question but does he provide the faja for after surgery??
I'm 193 lbs and 5'8, do you recommend losing weight before surgery? I'm a little confused on that part.
Thanks in advance girls.

Getting closer to the big day!

I work for RealSelf so I can help with how to use the site but not with what to bring or any of that. You can look in the Guides and Forums for lots of info and you can call your doctor to find out if they supply the faja. You can also find other reviews about your doctor and ask those community members questions.

Hi.. What do you need to know??? Is about Dr. Pantoja?? I have previos surgery with him and Im going for my Lipo on November 19 .....
September 1, 2016
No one is helping me I feel a little lost :(
September 1, 2016
This is how I feel to I'm getting closer to my date and no one really replies to me. I'm nervous and have questions
September 1, 2016
Yes I'm feeling lost this group used to seem more active now it's like I search my doctor and only a few reviews come up its weird. I'm getting nervous.

Hiya I've got my surgery on Sept 6th and Nadia is a wealth of knowledge at the Dr Pantoja camp so utilize her for information. That is how a lot of my questions were answered and by reading lots of reviews. I'm staying at the club Med recovery house and Marvin has been pretty awesome with replying to questions. I take iron tablets everyday and I've done some exercise to tone up. I'm pretty sure you will be ok :)
September 2, 2016
Awww thank you so much! I wish you a speedy recovery first and foremost! I read a lot of reviews today, as my time is getting closer and closer. I feel more confident and educated but haven't made a decision about where I'm going to stay. My bf can't come and wants me to do a recovery house vs a hotel alone. Can you share any details about club med with me? How long are you staying? I think 3-4 days would be perfect for me. Thanks for the reply- it makes my review not feel so lonely! :)
September 2, 2016
I'm staying for 22 days. My fiancé can't come and Marvin is amazing. I'm not taking much with me. I know a lot of girls are taking lots of medication but I'm going in with an open mind and well I've been taking iron supplements everyday to prepare my body. I'm opting for the boppy pillow. I've not purchased and extra faja's just yet. I believe the body is self healing. I have been getting circulation massages before I go just to make sure everything is running smoothly. I can't believe the day is nearly here. It goes really quickly so just start accumulating your things. The club Med place is not called my friends house and it's recommended by Dr Pantojas office. They provide all the care you need that's why I'm staying there so I have someone to look after me during the early stages. I've also organized massages for after the operation as well.
September 3, 2016
Wow you sound so prepared! I want to be like you! I also have been getting lymphatic massages about every week to get my fat nice and "ready". I looked at clubmed site, and my bf said he for sure wants me there. Maybe il see you if you'll be there 22 days! :)
You sound very happy and very positive going into this and I'm sure the universe will recognize your vibrations and you'll get nothing but stellar results! Excited for you!!!!! :)
September 4, 2016
you will love it here. Am I prepared, I came with an open mind. I didn't bring my own pain killers or arnica cream or special washing soap or hydrogen peroxide, they have that all here as Marvin and Susanna's. The best part is a lot of Dr. Pantoja's patients stay here as well and they know a lot about the industry and can answer your questions or concerns. My fiancé was really scared about me being here and staying here but there were so many great reviews about Club Med and the reviews don't do this place justice. You get way more than what you pay for. you have someone who cares for you and prepares your meals. Washes your clothes and you would not be able to do that on your own so money well spent :) Ironic part is I think I would still stay here even if i wasn't having surgery lol also get one of their poppy pillows as they are specially made, I'm buying one and its huge lol I wanted my own experience to share and i didn't want to live through someone else's on real self. Its all about you and what you and the awesome benefits you will reap at the end of the journey :)

Apologies the recovery house is called my friends house and dr Pantoja gives you a faja and if you want to buy an extra one its $120. They recommend you take your iron tablet everyday so get onto that ASAP

They have iron here, just iron. Apparently drinking with Orange juice will help with absorption
UPDATED FROM Talktomenice
6 months pre
Tickets purchased, surgery paid in full
Today was an amazing day! I have surgery the 26th of sept and today is the 9th. I deposited my 3300 balance into Dr Pantoja's account, and also bought my ticket from Las Vegas to San Diego. All I have left is the deposit to club med, and the remaining balance due before I arrive!
I've been taking multi vitamin and iron everyday. I have to stop taking my anxiety meds in about 4 days so I hope that goes well, which I'm sure it will. I've been eating one good size meal a day, not really gaining or losing any weight really. I'm planning on seeing my pcp before I go and getting some norcos or Vicodin because tramadol feels like Advil when I'm in surgery pain. I don't understand why they give you such low strength meds for recovery in Mexico, but oh well.
My mind is really at ease and can't wait for my big day!
