A Gift to Myself for my 65th Birthday.... - Costa Rica

Well, I have pulled the trigger....date set, stomach in knots. May 22nd I will fly to Costa Rica, have an appt. on the 23rd. for initial appt. for some dental work, having a breast lift on the 5-26 and FL on 5-30. Will post some before shots soon. When I get up my nerve. One hurdle at a time. Many thanks to RS for all the information, reviews, advice and pictures. I have been following along and researching for almost a year now and finally decided on Dr. Alberto Arguello and Dr. Arce in Costa Rica. All five star reviews. I spoke with both Dr. Arguello and Dr. Arce. Both were knowledgeable and I felt at ease talking with them. Dr. Arguello said that he had done surgery on both his mother and sister and he treats every patient as if they were his mother or sister. They have a new recovery center and I am awaiting more information on that. Will post more as I know more. Thank you again to everyone who was kind enough to share their experiences. It has been so helpful and mostly inspiring. All advice appreciated!!

I also have decided on Dr. Arguello and was wondering if they had a dentist that they work with or did you have to find your own and who is he and what are you getting done

When are you scheduled for surgery Fluff? Mine is early November. Always great if a RS buddy can be by your side for support and laughter.

Anyone Comunicating with Dr Arguello liaison Lisa will need to contact his office directly. She no longer works for Dr. Arguello.

Dr Arce answers each day in the afternoon. It wasn't as immediate as Lisa was, but he does answer my concerns..
