I found doctor Alvarez online. He is Board certified and i like his pics. He has no disciplinary actions on his record, graduated top of class, his father is a surgeon, and he has performed hundreds of bbl's. I have high blood pressure and am nervous. i will be flying in by myself. I would like to stay in a recovery house for 3 days. They are running about 200-400 per night, includes meals and transportation. Does anyone know of a cheaper one. Booked a flight through priceline from KY for 190 tax included

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I have HBP as well and you'll be fine as long as it's well maintained. I'm staying with Mayda for 10 days. It's $250 surgery day and $130 each night. She was highly recommended by Dr. Alvarez private practice and has excellent reviews. Keyla's is very popular as well. There's several recovery house forums on here if you do a search. 200-400 is probably for newer places like Miami Escape and Cosmicare . Good luck

Oh yes u will be fine as long as your bp is under control and u control your diet before surgery as well. Im Not sure if you booked through spectrum but if u did they have a deal with certain recovery homes.

I am booked with him for June 3rd. I am staying at Curvy Angels Recovery Care. If you create a surgery page on Instagram you can follow and interact with others on this journey.

i will be staying 3 days at Miami Escape. It is clean brand new and has a private bath in each room. They provide transport and three meals, although they will not pick up prescriptions. They are running a special 175 per night plus $60 for a care package thats optional

So how are you supposed to get your meds?
April 21, 2016
i think i am supposed to call the doctor a few days before and get the script filled in advance. i also talked to Tina at loveshowsrecoveryhome.com. im torn between the two places. love shows is 150 per night. She only has three beds, was very friendly and will get your prescriptions.

miamiescape seemed more impersonal and lots of rules; but is brand new, has ten beds (10potential friends) and looks fancier.
April 21, 2016
i also dont want to get out of surgery, and potentially start feeling pain before the script can be filled. so if possible, id rather have it filled in advance anyway

How did u find recovery homes numbers and prices?
April 22, 2016
google search for recovery homes in miami or on this site type recovery homes miami forum
April 22, 2016
I am in the process of looking for a RH. Once I decide on one, I will be scheduling my surgery. I too will be flying into Miami alone and looking for a reasonable RH is mentally draining. Which have you decided on?
April 23, 2016
i think loveshowsrecoveryhome.com 150 a night or miami escape
April 22, 2016
What is the $60 care package?
April 23, 2016
just random stuff you can probably get at the dollar store

ear plugs
baby wipes
neopsoprin
towel
wash cloths
lock box
rubbing alcohol
shampoo
peroxide
lotion etc

i think ill need some maxi dresses, bath supplies, things to cleanse and cover the wounds, and an extra suppression garment and a pillow to sit on the plane going back.

BBL done!!!!

chocolatdrop
hello all! i got my bbl on June 1st 2016 by Dr Sergio Alvarez. recovery on the first day was hard. i was given percosets for the pain. i am unable to sit on my butt and can barely get in and out of the bed. i am staying at Miami Escape, it is absolutely gorgeous, swanky. i have on a faja, which is like a girdle it costs 100 at the doctors office. they are also available at Miami Escape. must wear socks for one week. no bath for two days. my blood pressure was regulated, 140/100 will prevent you from having the surgery, pictures coming soon. my surgery was delayed two days, so instead of staying here i opted to get a hotel on the beach.

I am so excited to see how your results.. I have the same shape and hated!!!! Been teased my whole life and know that i am older i made the desicion to do something about it although i live in Minnesota and my Doctor will be Dr. Kovanda I hear he is one of the best but the price here is pretty high up there close to $9000 So i am slowly making payments although i have not heard back from them do to i scheduled for Jan of 2017 which will give me enough time with PTO and pay off. I am so excited and also cant wait to see your pictures...
June 16, 2016
i posted pics!
June 2, 2016
Hey lady glad you made it through your procedure safe and sound. Do you love your results or what? I will be having a BBL with Dr. Alvarez on the 15th, I cant wait. How does your stomach look after the lipo?
June 2, 2016
congrats girl welcome to big booty land, remember you to stick to a strict after care regimen the sx changed my life I love all the attention and the doors that have been opened as a result of the sx but aftercare is just as important as sx so stick it out the full amount of time
June 7, 2016
Congrats dear. Wishing you a nice recovery. Please take good care of yourself. We're dying to see your new body! I'm scheduled for September 20 and it feels so far but I'll be patient. I'm going with the same Alvarez. Congrats so much. Please bless us with your beautiful pictures.
