Hello SX Community!
I am from Houston and will be traveling to DR in May from the 15th to around the 28th to have surgery with Dra. Almonte. I'll be getting a TT and BBL. If anyone, especially from Texas, is looking for a surgery buddy - let me know!! I am a bit nervous and seeking out recovery houses, although Almonte does give all-inclusive quotes. My current goals betwen now and then is to lose at least 50 pounds. I need to get my BMI down and my iron up.

What doctors are you looking at?
September 8, 2015
Dr almonte.i like the work she does on thicker girls. Im doing green smoothies and excercise.Im down to 230lbs.I need to lose at least 40lbs.
September 8, 2015
Yeah, she does very well.. But she still hasn't responded to my email so Dra Medina it is! She's quick to reply and super sweet.
September 8, 2015
yes I like Dr. Medina too. She is actually better with the breast lifts/augmengtation.
September 8, 2015
That's what I was telling my friend... So that's another reason why I'm going to Medina over Almonte.

I'm going in May 2015 from MD. I need a buddy also, I've been but to another doctor in DR. now I'm going for a TT, another BBL With FULL body lipo.
September 6, 2015
What doctor are you going to this time? What did you get done last time?
September 6, 2015
I'm going to Almonte...I had lipo and bbl... which I love my results and the doctor I went to. Now I want that extra umph I was afraid of the first time. I didn't go alone and the person I went with got a TT. Love her results and experience. The reason I'm not going to the other Dr. Is because the results if a TT for my body type will be more my fit. She is more aggressive then him with the curves on my body type. I have a friend who just came back and she a thick girl...all I can say is wow and all I said is I'm booking...lol

I'm from Houston, I also wanted to have percedures done by Almonte. Haven't scheduled yet was trying to find someone to go with me.
September 9, 2015
I'm going with Tania Medina. You can send me a message.
September 10, 2015
Ok, I've never heard of her. I'm going to look her up. What made you decide to go with her?
September 10, 2015
She responds quickly. Her breast work is some of the best. She can snatch any waist. Her patient's bodies don't look Barbie doll fake. She tries her best to be helpful and answer all questions.
September 9, 2015

Plans coming together! DR in May 2016

UnderC0nstructi0n
Because I have been researching or so long, I have noticed the peak months for surgery are March, May, and December. I am choosing May 2016 because I will have weeks of vacation time by then, and already have a third of my surgery funds saved up. I may or may not move things to December because I'll have the funds to go, but things may be booked by the time I make decision. I am waiting on a quote from Almonte, but she's taking her sweet time so I contacted Dra Medina (who responded in less than 24 hrs).

She quoted me $6000 for TT, BBL, BL w/ implants, and lipo to the flanks, back, and waist. Dra Medina also included info about a RH and transportation which came out to $850 (10 days). There is a $300 deposit to reserve my surgery date and she only does two surgeries a day. Since I'm going in May, I will be locking in my date ASAP to ensure I get the day I want/need and once confirmed I will be purchasing my flight ticket.

In addition to deciding on a surgeon, I have decided to stay at Kindness RH and will be checking if they have availabilty for May so I can get that reserved ASAP as well.

I have already compiled a Supply List and put some things into my Amazon wish list, and may post that at a later date. I don't want to buy a bunch of supplies at once a week or two before my surgery day, so over the next couple of months I will be purchasing items and putting them into my suitcase. I hate packing and it can take me days to do so, so I have to start early for something like this. Especially to get an idea of whether or not I may need one or two large suitcases, one lage suitcase and small carry-on, etc.

I am 5'5, 230 pounds (thank god I don't look it though). I have 8 months to get a BMI of 33 or lower. My goal weight before surgery is 170! My waist is a curently 37 inches, I want a 33-30 inch waist. Next week I will begin to get fully committed to dropping pounds. I also have started to eat more red meat. I am anemic so I have to start early trying to increase my iron levels. I am considering purchasing "Blood Builder" (or something like that) from Amazon. Because of the number of surgeries I'm getting, I must be at a level of 14 for surgery (according to Medina's email).

If anyone is going mid-May 2016 and want to buddy up - message me. Any questions - message me or leave a comment.
