I'm scheduled for surgery with Dra Duran on 13 November 2013. I'm a mother of four and I'm done having children, so I feel it's the right time to have this procedure done. I also have to use up some vacation time so this trip can help with that. I always wanted to tummy tuck and love the sculpting that Dra Duran does on her patients. I will be traveling alone and staying at Recovery House Armonia. I'm looking for a sx buddy to stay at RH Armonia. If anyone is interested, inbox me.

Bought My Airfare, Confirmed @ RH Armonia, & 1 Month To Go!

madrede4
So I purchased my airfare; I'm flying coach class to the DR and flying first class on my return flight. I didn't want to be uncomfortable. I was fortunate to get a shorter flight coming back. I'm flying out of DC and most return flights travel duration were something like 13-18 hours....whew. My flight with layovers is 6 hours and some change. Confirmed my stay with RH Armonia, and started buying some of my supplies. I'm still uncertain about whether or not I need lipo foam. I'm thinking about buying it to put under my faja. Can any of you ladies chime in if you used lipo foam and if it was worth it, or should I just stick with pads?

How was your flight home? Do you think first class is a really high priority?

If you haven't went yet I can tell you that first class is a must, especially if you've had something cut - abdominal incision or a BBL. I had procedures done in the states before and I suffered once, even felt as if my incision began to burn and sting. The site was inflammed and ended up becoming infected. It was all bad!

My flight home wasn't too bad. Just remember to move your legs alot and get up and walk around. I used a pillow to sit on. I don't feel that first class would make much of difference because you are still stuck on the airplane. The most important thing to do is get up and walk around and move your legs and feet to avoid clots and such.

Figuring Out What Size Faja To Buy for Post Op & Where To Buy From?

madrede4
Hi ladies! How do you know what size faja to buy for your stage 2 garment. I don't want to get it too big and certainly don't want it too small. I want to make sure that as soon as I'm out of the faja Dra Duran gives me, I have another one available. But I don't know what size to get. Also, can any of you ladies recommend places to buy the faja from. I seen some ppl like the Marena faja, is that was Dra Duran uses?
