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.

Plans coming together! DR in May 2016
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.
