25 Years Old, No Kids - Miami, FL

Thanks Darling! You must be so excited seeing how your date is right around the corner! Are you staying at the recovery house? Did he reschedule your appointment "/

How soon you think to wait before booking flight?

I am not staying at the recovery house, I am staying with Claudia, I spoke to her over the phone and she has great reviews.

I booked my flights already I would wait till at least 1 or 2 months before surgery. He changed my date once already

I think I am going to go to a RH. I haven't decided which one yet, but I'm going to compare rates and reviews and see which one to book. RS girls are so helpful with those type of things because they're real opinions which i appreciate. When I narrow them down I will let you know. As far as a flight, I'm going to book with southwest and I'm going to book end of this week so I can get the cheapest price possible seeing how it's almost five months out!

I think some airlines you can reschedule no fee.

I'm praying they don't! I don't want to go with anyone but Fisher. Did you have a bad experience with them?

I m not sure anymore!! I just heard another death at Vanity yesterday!! It was on Instagram on mymiamiescape page. I'm just saying cause we all need to be very careful. I'm here to get support too, I'm scheduled May, now I don't know

Oh no!!! Are you serious?! I'm going to go and check this out how. That's so frightening to hear about :0

Yes it's true! Somebody who was actually there also put it on Vanity IG page, but I see now it's gone, beautyboobs was who put it on vanity page

I was looking online and seen the girls brother post a comment on Yelp. I think that's everyone's biggest nightmare, but I've also seen so many good reviews from Fishers patients! I really wanna know who the doctor was, but it will be posted, it has to be at some point. Regardless, I have to stay strong - I know there were so many positive results. It's just a really scare thing to think about.

My biggest concern would be anyone having their doctor cancel on the day. I'm praying I don't go through some of the stories I've seen. I just want to go in, get done, get through my recovery, and come home!

Me too! It was dr Chavez, thank goodness not fisher, I would have had to rethink, even so not good! Prayers for her family and Dr Fisher that God guides his every move.

Have you been able to find any more info on death. Im only finding the old one back in may at encore

Search "medical episode vanity"

Ahhhhh man! I just read that - smh. My condolences go out to that woman and her family. I could only imagine what they are going through. One thing I don't admire is Vanity having an F rating when it comes to the better business bureau, but then again, my sister also just had painters that were hired from there, and they had good ratings and did a horrific job on her house, and she now hired a private company. So many conflicting opinions that it makes me quite nervous with this place, and I'm usually content.

Yes , there a risk with having surgery but you cant help why is it so many at or dealing with vanity fair. They book patients back to back collecting money and to be honest I dont think the Dr. Reviews the patient chart right until going into surgery. When if there is any issues and the doctors was more concern with the patient instead of getting a check they would communicate and work hand in hand to provide the safest results and out come. Im not blaming anyone I just feel like a diff approach when going into surgery can save some of these people life

Oh my gosh!! Yours is right around the corner! You must be so anxious and excited. I've read so much on the recovery process, and it's like, just get here so I can be done and over with! You're going to look amazing, and you're right, it worked out for you perfect! Southwest does fly out from where I am (thank you) so I will definitely be booking with them in case accommodations are needed. I agree - from reviews I have read back in 2013 / 2014, it seemed as rescheduling was a major issue (and nobody got time for that - especially when you have responsibilities to tend to) but I have been following up on recent posts, and most were good! I hope the best for you, and I will definitely be following you and your journey!

You are so welcome. I'm ready, but not ready! Lol! I'll post as much as I can along the way...

Oh and one thing with Southwest Airlines, although they don't charge change fees: you would pay the difference in the price of the flight if the price is increased due to the new dates. In my case, my new dates were $23 CHEAPER so I received a credit!

Look at you! This really coming together for you!! I'm excited for you and your surgery! Have you purchased all of your supplies and are good to go?!

I actually ordered some hibiclens soap, scar gel and quercetin-bromelain supplements yesterday. I won't order much else (except for an ab board) because my recovery home has just about everything else! Even gowns and dresses!

That's awesome! Which RH are you going with?

Six days away!!!!!

Sorry, I am just seeing your message from September 8th. I'm staying at Love Shows Recovery Home (@loveshowsrecoveryhome on IG). I have not arrived yet and she has already impressed me immensely! I just got my third hemoglobin results so yes, sx is six days away!!! It's on and popping!!!

Hi! Do you have the info on this RH? I looked on their IG page but no prices.

Hey, sure! You can call or text Ms. T @ 7862770204. I talked to her a few hours ago. She even has lots of supplies so I am not bringing much. Keep me posted!

Oh no worries my dear!!! I'm so excited for you! I will be praying an easy surgery and fast recovery for you woman, and I will definitely be checking in with you to see how everything went and how you are doing! It's finally happening for you! I feel like January can't come fast enough for me; however, I know to enjoy each day as it comes, but Ahhhhh so excited!

Yes, thank you for prayers. Five days away for me now! January will be here before you know it and then I'll be checking in on you :-)

Brazilian honey,, I hope it all turned out okay in the end??

I appreciate the recommendation! Do you have her # of website?

*or

Do you know if she picks from both airports?

Wooooooow! That's reassuring! I hope everything goes well for you, you make it down there, speedy recovery, and get back home!!!! I think one of the most important things is the recovery, and to know you are in good hands with people who care because it's a difficult time. Believe me - I've had a major surgery before and I know! I'm going to check out their Instagram page. My boyfriend wants to come with me even though I told him he doesn't have to and would like to help me during the recovery stage, but I'm going to check out this place you recommended, so thank you! Twenty more days!!!!!!!!!

You are so welcome. OMG, it's right around the corner!!!!

Now it's the fifteenth! Fifteen more days!

I hope so. I posted an update about my hemoglobin levels not being where they need to be. Girl, I'm so discouraged :-(

Nooooo! Have you? I was contacted yesterday about arriving on Saturday instead of Monday to do my preop!

Yesterday, they also wanted me to do pre-op on Saturday or change my surgery date to Tuesday and do my pre-op on Monday. I was so upset. I fly out on Sunday. It will cost me $350 to purchase a new flight, plus I already booked recovery house for sun-fri. They told me that fisher will allow me to leave on Friday, however it will only be like 3 days of recovery ugh!! I had arranged to stay at recovery house for 6 days. I'm a little worried now about my recovery.

So now you have to be at a RH for two days for nothing, and even if you they modified the reservation, you would then have to purchase new flights for your return. It's frustrating. I ended up having to pay almost $100 extra for the flight, I had to add an additional day to my rental, and on top of that, the hotel I'm staying at for the recovery was booked so I had to pay another hotel for an a night "/ I'm going to be honest, three days is a stretch for recovery. Did you add cell saver? I know that helps a lot with the recovery

Yes girl it's frustrating 2 wasted days, but on a positive side our long wait is almost over : ) I'm crazy excited and nervous at the same time. I'm trying to remain positive about the hang ups. It's a good thing that the facility is being looked into and their policy has changed.

Oh I know! We've come so far! I'm so excited but nervous as well because I know the pain is no joke - but it is what it is! To be honest, I'm a little more content with my preop being on a different day, and I agree, I'm happy the facility is looking being looked into because I always thought it was weird to have preop the same day. When I had a consult where I live, they scheduled my preop to be three weeks prior to my surgery. Monday is going to be right around the corner! You'll probably see me come in that day if you're doing paperwork!
