-GREETINGS-
Hello beautiful dolls! I'm excited to be on here to share my experiences with everyone in hopes of providing a positive experience for anyone considering to have elective/corrective surgery.
-A LITTLE ABOUT ME-
36-year-old mother of 1 child (son is 10) who finally is putting herself FIRST! I use to work 18-20 hrs p/day all while being a single parent and have been the "go-to-person" when friends/family are in need of financially/emotional assistance........NO MORE. I've had lipo performed in Beverly Hills (not so great) and trans-umbilical breast augmentation in Orange County (okay results) but over the years of stress and comfort food eating, I've gained an excessive amount of weight, lost my motivation in life, and always felt tired and stressed. Within the past few years, I've put my foot down and decided to change my life inside out. Get the old me back. Or as Stella says, "Get My Groove Back!" Lol..
I've moved to a better environment, quit my job that was causing me stress (and to stress eat), changed my eating habits, and learned how to say "no" to my friends/family that were being a parasite in my life. I'm in a better place now and figured that a mommy makeover is what I DESERVE from all of my hard work. I am a beautiful person inside and out so I'm doing this because I want to, not because I have to. It's a catalyst to working out and living a healthier lifestyle. So whatever motivates you to do this, be happy, be blessed, and I hope you have a good experience in your journey!

I've been thinking about this for a year. I spoke to Dra Robles last year and I also had an "in person" consultation with Dr. Cortes here in Houston. Dr. Cortes is so freaking amazing but he is expensive and he told me that I would have to come back for a tummy tuck. I want everything done at once!!! I also reviewed Dr. Cabal as he is the "King" however, from what I have reviewed, his bed side manners are horrible, you either die, or you wake up during surgery and feel everything!!!!! I looked at Dra Duran's work and she is so freaking sickening; however I have been hearing so many goods things about Dra Medina that I am going to contact her. Thanks so much out of all of these postings I have been reading yours was one of the most helpful!!!!! Be blessed!!! :)

Sounds like a very reasonable total if the doctor is adequate and you really get all those ammenities. I have a facial surgeon here in PA but so few ppl have procedures in PAINsylvania that it takes a lot of the fun and excitement out of it. When you get cosmetic procedures in PA you have the sense that you are all alone. It sucks! :/

hello. what will be your recovery house and is it a real one or some rented rooms ? I heard so many things, I wouldn't like to do a mistake when choosing my one.

So yo flew to dominican republc to get your surgery done? I'm scared to go outside my country.... Are they really recommended? I tried to search on google but didnt find her. Probably not typing the wright thing.

Where are you from? I'd like to get the B vitamines shots too. I know they work well to burn fat and give energy

-Suggestions on Your Trip List-
Okay ladies, this is what I suggest when you compile what you need to bring for your trip:
Do your list in excel (Once I’m finish creating my list, I will be happy to share with anyone, just inbox me)
If you are bringing medications, I recommend you pre-sort them and put them in a weekly pill organizer ($2.00-3.00). Then, I recommend setting an alarm on your phone to take medications or write it down and give to your nurse. For pain medications, this is very important because you don’t want to be in a position of needing the medication when it has worn off (not fun).
I don’t know Spanish but I highly recommend you download a voice-to-voice translator app to your phone (4.99). That way, when you speak into the app, it translates to Spanish and vice versa.
Garments: Being comfortable is extremely important during your recovery so I highly recommend going online and purchasing front-open criss-cross exam patient gowns. ($8.50-9.50 per gown. I recommend taking 3)
Pee funnel ($3.50)
Lab testing-If you don’t have insurance and need a CBC Panel Testing done for your blood work, go to www.personalabs.com. The test is only 47.00. Promo code: EM10 (10% off)
Also, if you are that person that feels more comfortable over packing than under packing, then I recommend using a travel space bag (6.99 for 2pack)
I hope this helps anyone!

Ok i've never used a pee funnel or even seen one. I'm assuming we stand over the toilet to use it if it hurts to sit?? or is it used in bed? Sorry weird question i know just clarifying!
October 6, 2014
You use it while standing up so you don't have to sit on the toilet during recovery. The less you sit on your butt, the better. The funnel should be aiming into the toilet. :)

Is the recovery house included in the price $6,000 or is that a separate $750 additional
October 7, 2014
Hi tnmicich. Good question! The recovery house is separate from the $6,000 I was quoted. My recommendation is to do what you feel is best and within your budget. I've read enough reviews on My Home recovery house to feel safe and secure with my choice. Also, it is a new RH and has enough space to accommodate a lot of patients.
December 14, 2014
That's okay, it makes two of us I didn't know what it was either. But, now I know. Never even seen one...

This is so helpful!!! I can see you have really done your research! I do have a Q. re the travel space bags though. They compress your stuff on the way there…how does that help repacking your (over) packed stuff on the way home with no vacuum cleaner for the space bag, and especially in that condition?
