Sorry ladies. I haven't been on for awhile but let me give you the reader's digest version to get you up to speed with things:

1. Finally moved
2. Finally getting job and business in order
3. Decided to take my dad on the trip with me instead of my sister (my dad lives in Florida so the flight is cheaper so he's paying for his flight and I'm covering his room stay.....plus, he was there fore me when I had my lipo done back in 2006)

Okay now..........time to focus on my shopping list.....

1. Not buying a Boppy pillow- The Boppy doesn't look like it has a lot of support/cushion for my tooshy so I researched and found.....Kabooti Orthopedic Coccyx Seat Cushion. Amt: 29.95. Not only is the price reasonable, but it's a medical cushion. Color I got: camoflauge (because I'm going in gorilla style!). Found in on countourliving.com
2. I sleep on my side but I wanted to take a long pregnancy pillow...dilemma, how do I fit this huge pillow in my suitcase? Found a better solution...Holo Lilo!!! It's a pregnancy floater for pregnant women but you can also use it to sleep on. 59.99 but I don't want to smush my butt even sleeping on my side (because I don't want it to be uneven) and so I will inflate this thing on my bed and sleep on it (since it has a hole in it for my booty). www.holo-lilo.com
3. Found a website where you can purchase reasonable supplies for home care. Purchased all of my non-soap body/perineal wash (price: 2.60-6.00). www.totalhomecaresupplies.com
4. For my pee funnel, I went to www.go-girl.com and got the combo pack (the funnel, long tubing, packing tube). Price: 17.99 but there is a 2.00 off coupon on the website.
5. Post surgery bras for breast: I researched and found the makemeheal.com website has the most reasonable bras. Select the sale items and purchase the refurbished bras.
6. Tummy tuck/BBL garments. I have my information on the fajas/fajate garments but I have to find it to get the best pricing but I will be ordering a few within a week
7. Post/pre surgery vitamins (arnica, etc). I'm tempted to just order from the make me heal website so I don't have to order from different sources online/in-stores but I will wait a week before I decide what I'm going to bring.

I'll update my list once everything is all finalized. Hope this helps ladies!

You should ask Dr. Medina what things will be needed... So, that you spend money just like that. I say this because I asked her about arnica for my swelling and she answered swelling will come down on its own on a daily basics.

-Venting Again About Wire Transfer But Learned Something Too!-

Ok ladies, so I happened to check account info and found out that after my wire transfer being declined via online, that they still took the money out!!!! So I had to call WU and they told me that they had to call my bank. Luckily, my bank is so awesome cause they are a credit union and available over the phone 24/7 that I was able to get the fax info for WU to request the funds to be returned back to my account. Then I learned that my bank does WU transfers so I just did it over the phone!!! Yayyyy!!! It cost me 4.00 more but well worth it. So check with your bank to see if they do wire transfers cause it'll save you the trip in having to find an agent location. Plus you trust your bank so you know it'll go through correctly. ????

Thank you EvaMommy02! I'm glad I have my father that will go with me. I know, it's weird that it's my dad, but we are really close and he's very supportive in everything that I am and do. I'm fortunate for that. Plus he's retired and has the time. I want him to document as much of my journey as he can in video/photos so I can post them during my time there.

-Spoke Too Soon on the Wire Transfer App. Doesn't Work!!-

Ok ladies so in my previous post, I raved about the WU app to do an easy wire transfer. Why did I get a decline notice???? So when I sent it again but this time using my debit card info, I later got another decline! What's the purpose in having an app and it doesn't work!!!! That's why WU isn't popular anymore cause they suck. I usually wire via MG but Dra Medina uses WU. Oh well, I guess I have to find a WU location and do the transfer in person. So much for convenience. App DELETED!!!

Yes. Thumbs down on the WU app, I tried to use it at varying time over the last 10 yrs and it had never worked for me. This time same thing happened. First decline on the wire transfer, then acceptance on the bank transfer and thought it went through until Dra Medina told me it wasn't there....uggh! She was pretty cool and calm about it. I was not happy. Finally had to have someone go to the store and send in person. Found front open gowns. Ordered 4 and paid $6.00 each for them. (I love a good bargain). Won't know what they fit like until I get home in Feb., but I'm sure they'll be fine for the purpose. Excellent tip. Thanks much.

Ladies if you are using the WU app or even the desktop version for the 1st the bank will more than likely decline your transaction bc they think it could possibly fraud. just contact your bank and tell them your authorized than transaction and the will remove the block in irder to complete the transsction....no worries!!!!
