Hi everyone, so I met with the Dr. yesterday and had blood work done. Turns out my blood count is too low and I can't have the surgery today. Don't feel sorry for me because I met some amazing people. I even met a flight attendant and he's giving me a buddy pass to come back... Umm... Yayyyy! So, I'm going to try to come back around Christmas. It is B E A U T I F U L here in Cartagena and Dr. Campbell and his wife Dr. Restrepo are amazing doctors and are so down to earth. She is so spicy and the internet does not do her justice. She is beautiful! The staff here is unspeakably nice and caters to your every need. I can not imagine having this surgery and not have a recovery team and their support. I can't wait to return.

Your pictures make me wish I had done my recovery in Cartagena! Lol.
I can agree... Beach is there.
Hey girl this is my surgeon too. Do you feel comfortable the recovery place? Also i know this is a silly question, but they do your bloodwork there? As in i dont have to do it before i come? May i ask you what was your hemoglobin??? How high did they want it for your surgery? Thank you for the update.
Tallcurves84, You will love the recovery suites. They are so nice and clean. The coordinators come to the room every morning with fresh fruit and a freshly made fruit smoothie. They then ask you what you want for breakfast. Food was really great.
My hemp was 9.60. Yes, you should do it b4 u go. I should have done it again after I had my hysterectomy. He won't operate under 10 which is still low. You will not be unhappy with them. I'm telling you, they are great!
Mine is 13. I have multiple surgeries i want to do.
13 is a good number. I just called to rebook and he is not available until the 21st of December. I don't know how I'll be able to take more time off work.
Damn....
Hey when you going? Maybe I can get off and go with if it's not to soon.
Sorry, I'm just looking back at this. I'm scheduled for February 27th. I'm so excited. Blood work is great again.
ladies please keep me updated.. I am planning on going to him
Hey Ladies, How did it go? Did you make it back. I am scheduled with him for April 16,2018 and I am SUPER excited!!!
ORIGINAL POST

I've started this review a dozen times and never...

I've started this review a dozen times and never completed because my pics were sideways...but I want to get through this today. So, here goes and sorry about tha pics if they indeed show up sideways. I'm having my surgery in Cartagena, Colombia on November 15th; tt, BBL, lipo of the flanks, back and thighs. I'm also considering a bl; however I will decide that when I get there. I'm going with Dr. Alex Campbell and his wife Dr. Carolina Restrepo at Premium Care Plastic Surgery. They complete the surgery together so you're not under anesthesia as long. I'm very excited (not about recovery) and pray that all goes well. Dr. Campbell is American and graduated from Mizzou in Missouri..my home state. I work with many doctors and several of them are familiar with his work. I feel very comfortable.
Myy cost is about $6800 for all the procedures including two fajas, meds and 10 lymphatic massages. Recovery suite/hotel is separate. It came to about $1000 for 14 days. My flight was separate too. I will try to post post op pics after and keep everyone updated.
