Torn

After getting a $10,000+ quote from yily ...YES over $10,000. That's another story, I actually tried writing a post about that but apparently it wasn't approved for whatever reasons anyway... I've also tried getting a quote from Duran, it's been 5 months and nothing. I've received a quote from Diaz for $6,000...Which to me I thought was ridiculous because it didn't include a TT and mind you that was without the recovery house, if I wanted to include it..the total cost would have been $7,000. Yeah...right. Baez quoted me $4,500 for everything lipo, bbl, breast lift, a tt and an arm lift. Almontes quote was $5450 excluding the breast lift BUT it includes the recovery house which I thought was amazing because you have no idea (well some might lol) how stressful it is to find a RH. So regardless if you may find a RH cheaper on your own, I like the fact that the doctor is affiliated with the RH and so they recommend the best ones I'm sure because what doctor would want to ruin their reputation. I for one was so disgusted by the negative reviews from RH's...things from neglected patients, to patients getting infections from dirty and un sanitized equipment. It's crazy. But anyway... I love both of their work...I think Almontes work might slightly be better than Baez. But who knows because I'm just going by the pictures from her website. Baez work is great as well and has more reviews with actual pictures here. I just don't know....!!! -__- I only have 2 months left to decide on a doctor wth :-/

•Real recovery armonia $85 twin beds (double occupancy) /$95 single occupancy
•Upscale recovery house $85 twin beds (double occupancy) /$100 single occupancy
•Tropical recovery house $85 doesn't specify I'm sure it's twin but don't quote me lol
•Daisy recovery $85 single occupancy/ $75 double occupancy
•Healing haven- $75 with 2 beds it says but it says single occupancy (can we say confusing) $60 for double occupancy (only visiting nurses not 24hour nurse services)
•Jdm Jacqueline spa- $75 to $90 to $120 (there's 3 different packages)
•Dream Barbie recovery house- still waiting even though I saw someone say and which also looked like a snap shot of their website it was $55 hmmm. I'll post an update when they reply back to confirm!
•Relax recovery- $80 double occupancy...transportation is extra
•Silhoutte Recovery house- $85 double occupancy...transportation extra for $40 each way.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR-

*If massages are located in the facility which is more convenient PLUS cheaper if whatever recovery house you choose doesn't include transportation.

* If ALL 3 meals are included. Snacks is a plus lol. That doesn't really matter to me just because people tend to be nauseous from sx or so I've heard from a lot of people from taking medication also which is why I choose to bring ensure shakes recommended by so many people just in case. FYI healing haven only included breakfast.

*If they have nurses/assistance available 24 hours. SOME do not.

*Make sure they have hot water, electricity and air conditioning. We all wanna be comfortable after surgery, not taking cold baths, sweaty and bloody in the dark! Lol I'm just saying!

Anything to me is extra but might be a necessity to others like a translator. Some like tropical recovery has English speakers. Just for non Spanish speakers to feel more comfortable and at ease.

Tv would be extra. I really don't care for it now. All I need is laptop. Which comes next on the list wifi! Some includes it free of charge.

Laundry also would be extra. I'm throwing out everything I've worn just because I'm sure things would have blood stains on them.

MY TOP 3:
I've narrowed mine to Daisys recovery house, tropical recovery house and Barbie dream recovery even though I don't know the price I'm sure it's around $85 and if it is...I'm going with that one.

**Real recovery is still an option. Thing I like about them is it costs $25 for massage not $30-$35 like every where else in santo Domingo.


REASONS WHY I DONT RECOMMEND OTHER RECOVERY HOUSES:
-As far as upscale...ehhh I've seen better.
-Healing haven...is a HELL NO. Everything cost extra. Meals are $25 daily and massages are $35 each.
-Jacqueline's spa, it's more expensive than others with less included.
-Relax recovery and Silhoutte recovery ...Transportation isn't included.

As far as Yasmin's and all those others...I've personally emailed then on airbnb. I did not like the vibes I got from Dominga or from Yasmin's recovery house. Yasmin is such a scam artist in my opinion having like 20 different pages and prices from $14 a night to $75 beware, she tries to trick you just like Dominga. On her page she has a special but once you inquire, she changes her story how it's old. If it's old, delete it. Point blank. Plus I've heard and read numerous stories. I don't wanna take the risk!

LADIES, if I missed any recovery house that you have info on please let me know. I still haven't decided 100% on a RH. And also I'm open to a buddy. :)

Hopefully I covered a lot to help you guys find a recovery house that suits your needs.

I found a recovery house from an email I received from yily today with her quote of $6,800. Apparently the other quote was wrong but she's still crazy. Idk what's up with these doctors. I know their in high demand but damn...for that we stay in the us lol.

Anyway...the recovery house is called luxury recovery house and it's $85 for double occupancy and $100 for single. To me it's similar to my top choices and will very consider this RH.
