WORTH IT$6,000
I already paid a deposit for $500 and expected surgery date is on April 10th. Any other here getting their surgery done at the same time. I'm trying to get an Air bnb or a recovery house that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. If you happen to be doing your surgery at the same time and want to share an air bnb place with me to save money please contact me.

Hey, I’m so excited for you. My surgery date is May 15th. I too want to stay at an Airbnb because of the recovery cost, but Recovery house offers transportation, food and nurses 24/7. My coordinator suggested Paradise Recovery House: $150 per night. All meals. Transportation to all your appointments with us. Laundry service and 24/7 care by a team of trained female professionals.

It’s costly!

Have you found a place on Airbnb? If you don’t mind me asking, how much per night? Are you hiring a nurse? How much is your surgery? I feel like his cost went up after I booked.

Thanks

Her cost*

The cost was $4995 for the surgery. The recovery house that Elena recommended was paradise recovery house and it is $150 a night. At this point, I think I'll book it for 4nights and get an Airbnb for 3nights. The rate for a good airbnb goes for $55 a night. But transport and food would be out of pocket.

Priceline has cheap hotel rates also. Congrats on ur upcoming surgery. I have Dowbak too March 31.
March 5, 2018
Thanks for your response and congratulations! Do you know how many days we are required to have a nurse with us?
March 12, 2018
hey I will be at paradise on the 12 thru the 19 so I will see you for a couple days of your stay . I am having surgery on the 13th with dr. dowbak
March 12, 2018
Hi! I ended up just taking an Airbnb and I'm gona get a private nurse. Based on my calculations this would cost 500$. My host at the airbnb said she loves to cook and would cook for me. She sounds very nice. I have a friend in Miami who would also help drive me around. I'm so excited and scared too.
Did they send you the required labs yet?
March 13, 2018
no they did not ! what’s up with that ? I’m assuming the email is what I’m suppose to use ?

I'm trying now, I don't know where to go. I'm walking in to quest diagnostic but I have a paper that a physician needs to sign. I don't have one but I made an appointment at a clinic.
March 13, 2018
They haven't sent me anything either. Elena said they'll be in contact when it's 30days lefts for surgery. I'll contact her if I don't get an email by the end of the week.

Congrats on your surgery date! 3 week countdown! Are you having BBL? You have a nice body. Good luck on your journey!
March 16, 2018
Thank you! I'm excited. Still can't shake the nerves off about going under. I'm having a BBL

@newmissk, you will be fine. Did you have to gain weight for surgery?
March 16, 2018
No. I haven't gained any weight. I'm trying not to even though I'm scared that I might not have enough fat to transfer.
Have you done the surgery before? How was your experience?
User Avatar
March 16, 2018
@Newmissk: I hope you have enough fat too. I had BBL round 1 March 2015 (my RS profile name was Allaboutme2015) Dr. Hasan. BBL round 2 will be May 24, 2018 with Dr. Dowbak). I’ve had a botched tummy tuck & butt implants in my hometown years ago. I’ve had a breast reduction, I’ve had breast implants, implants removed, breast lift, tummy tuck scar revision, gastric bypass. Ummmm, what was your question again? lol. I’ve had several surgeries and I’m still not “right”

This isn't a Brazilian butt lift revision.

Newmissk
I'm not sure why it's under the revision section. I previously had a liposuction not a bbl.
I'm 5'6" and 165lbs. My current measurements are hips: 43, bust: 32 and waist is 30.5.

Labs all done

Newmissk
I've done all my labs and my results are good. Hemoglobin level is 12.9. Its normal and I hope I wont be asked to get a cell saver.
I also hired a nurse who would be picking me up and caring for me for $14/hr.
I also got a booty buddy for $45!. Started packing and I'm 75% done with that. Still nervous, anxious and excited for my new body. The thoughts of going under scares me

Where did you buy your pillow for $45?
April 4, 2018
Pray and don't worry. You will be fine
April 4, 2018
I got it at bombshell booty pillow. It was $60 but she had a special going which was $15 off. Now she has a free urinal with the purchase. Please use PayPal to pay so you can dispute the charges if it doesn't arrive. But I got mine in 4days.
April 4, 2018
Thanks doll! I'll continue praying. Sometimes I just get nervous because I'm in this journey alone. It gets hard.
April 4, 2018
I know how you feel, but God has you and your fellow Doll's in here have you in prayer too. Who's traveling with you?
April 4, 2018
I'm travelling alone. Got a airbnb and a private nurse. Thanks doll . I really appreciate the prayers.
April 4, 2018
Ok, I will send you a message on Monday. Thanks for the info and I'm glad someone is there with you. I can't WAIT to see your results. Dr. Dowbak has a great canvas to start with!
April 4, 2018
That would be really nice of you. I'll post pictures and keep you updated! Thanks
April 6, 2018
Could you share who you booked as your nurse?
April 6, 2018
I signed up for care.com for $12 and interviewed a couple of applicants. I told them my needs and made an offer. I cant give you the contact number for the girl who would be taking care of me. And I'll also let you know of my experience with her next week.
April 6, 2018
Hi I was going to go with Dr. Salama but saw a couple bad reviews so I changed my mind I think I want to go with your doctor! She does great work! I think your in great hands! Think positive!
April 6, 2018
Yes. I've heard great stuff about Dr. Dowback. She is great. The office staff however, that's another story. I wish she had her own practice.

I thought Dr Dowback was a Male. You're probably the 4th person to mention him as she/ her? I've seen his photo on the website and i'm so confused. Please clarify... i'm thinking of contacting New life and don't want to get it twisted

She is transgender. She used to be called Gregory but she is now called Christine.
