26 and Ready for BBL :)

Sooo guys it’s official! I’m finally on my way to the Dominican Republic for surgery! It’s been a long time coming to say the least! This process of preparing has definitely had its highs and lows but I’m praying for the best ultimately from the whole experience. I’ve been sooo anxious to say the least, so for this day to finally be here to leave is a little bit of a relief.
I won’t bore you guys with every detail but for those interested in starting the process, be ready to invest! Even though going out of the US is more frugal, your still investing a lot of money. For air fare, supplies, RH or hotel stay and then the surgery it self! Not to mention the faja you’ll be purchasing after your stage 1 faja, the recovery drugs, and etc etc. I’ll update you guys more on that bridge after I’ve crossed it. From what I read on here from other women who have been through this process, be able to bring at least a grand extra over your initial costs.
I initially started this journey with a specific doctor in mind, paid the deposit and everything but after reviewing for months I ultimately decided a week ago to go to Dra Baez. Patient care is a big thing for me, and from her reviews the women have raved at not only their result given but the treatment! I want to be able to fully trust my doctor because we’re trusting them with our bodies, our lives, and our results. I’m not saying I will never get cosmetic surgery again because I know that’s a lie (lol) but I want to be in love with my results after this first time ultimately. 
I also decided that going alone was not an option! All the horror stories I’ve read on here scared me definitely! Plus I’m nervous, anxious, and this is definitely an experience and ultimately a process where your going to need major support! 
Well again I’m headed to the airport! Hope I gave you guys a little insight on the beginning! 
Once I land I’ll be headed Str8 to the clinic for preop testing, will inform you guys on that process in the next post!!

So it's official !!! I'm booked w/ Dra Yily September 29th! The process has been extremely easy so far! Just brought my flights to the DR so it's setting to really set in that this is happening. I'm excited but also nervous but ultimately once you set in your mind that this is a goal, you must see it through!! Now the only thing is I have to start buying supplies to take for post op! A good friend of mine is going with me and she's had it done already twice! She says I don't need as much supplies as it seems, but I do want to be overly prepared!! If you stay ready, you never have to get ready, right? Lol .....Also I'm between 145lbs and 150 lbs.....my goal is 160 before surgery.....fingers crossed !!! It's so hard !!

Hi to everyone reading this!! I'm in need of a little direction. I've been reasearching to death a great surgeon for my first BBL procedure. I'm a Chicago resident and even though I would love to be able to stay in my city for my procedure, I know that the best might not be in my area. I've been really looking into MIAMI doctors but I have CARE CREDIT and it seems like a lot of them don't accept it. So my question to you guys are....1. Who are the top BBL surgeons in your opinion in Chicago and/or in Miami or other cities (Atlanta, LA)? 2. Does anyone know a Miami surgeon that's a great bbl doctor that accepts care credit?....any feed back i'd greatly appreciate!! I'm looking to get this done by the end of summer.
