So I started another review before, which is full...
So I started another review before, which is full of information. But because I firstly though I would do this surgery in europa, it wouldn't appear at the right place. I have pics of myself on the other review though.So let me start again because I think Tania Medina de Garcia so far deserves everything I'd like to write about her. Well let's hope I will be as happy with this surgery as I am now with all the contacts we had and the impression she left me.I will be renting a one bedroom flat in Santo Domingo with my husband. Some recovery houses wouldn't accept men, other are too expensive. But at the end of the day I think it's a pretty good deal because everything is included and you don't have to worry about meals, nurses, etc.
But in the same time I didn't want my husband to be stuck in such an environment because this travel has to be enjoyable for him. I'm supposing I will be tired, resting, etc. So I want him to have some fun, this is why I choose a flat in the city, near some major attractions.I'm also proud of myself because I think I've chosen the best surgeon I could have regarding the price ($4500 for a tummy tuck, lipo and BBL - not including the breast augmentation I'm thinking on having as well) and her credentials.Even if one faja is included in my quote I bought myself two more. One size L, which I am now; but dieting because I had a baby not long ago so and hopefully size L will soon be too big for me. I also bought a size M. I suppose I will be wearing that stuff for a while to optimize my results, even after I drop some fat.
I found them on Ebay and it came from US to england, where I currently live. I am very happy with the quality.
The shop is called kiwibadu. I approximately paid $60 each and they're perfect.I'm really nervous about the fact I've been anemic during my pregnancy and if could affect my hemo, which has to be 14 at least in order to make sure this surgery happens. So I've been taking iron tablets every day for the past month and will keep doing it until the final date.
I also bought myself a lot of supplements, that have been advised by doctors, patients and that I've learned about through my researches but also supplements to make sure I'm generally healthy: complex B, vitamin C, fish oil, glucosamine, etc.Every time I ask a question Dra Tania or her assistant Siria Frias answer as fast as they can and I am very happy about that.
This is how I learned we can't have a labiaplasty in the same time that these surgeries. Lipo on calves can only be done in Asia as this is a very dangerous intervention, calves are mostly made with muscles. Lipo is $300 more per different area and most of the surgeons won't include your thighs in their bundle as they are pretty sure you will pay more to have them done. And more and more stuff.Anyway I will say more another time. I can't wait to be myself again, I mean myself before my pregnancies. Or even a "better myself" :)
Less than two months to go!!!!!!!!

The way I see my BBL surgery; for best natural results and certainly not a huge bum
Hello everybody and thanks to you all for your nice messages.
My flight is less than a month from now and I don't even sleep thinking about the change it's going to be in my life after that surgery.
Being able to wear my clothes again without being ashamed because of my tummy poping out from every top I wear, just feeling good.
I'm not asking for the perfect body. But I've always been aware of what a nice figure can do, as I used to have one. I also used to have this pretty face nobody could resist to.
In some way I don't mind not being the same because when you have kids, a man you love, a happy life, you absolutely don't see life the same way. But I don't want to end up with a man who repeatedly cheated on me after like 20 years together and who would maybe throw in my face 'you're not the same, you don't take care of you anymore bla bla bla', stuff we hear sometimes. But most of that I want to feel in accordance with my mind and my way of life.
Let's talk about something else.
I wanted to share with you the fact that I'm not even worried about the surgery. What I'm worried about is to end up with a huge bum. Yes I explain.
I know the brazilian butt lift is known as the buttock augmentation. But I don't actually want to have a bigger bum, only a better shape if you see what I mean.
I know some women are different but I think I have a good size already, I just want the needed fat to make my booty nicer, not unnatural. I've seen a few women in London where I live who had this surgery and it looks so... Well too much. It looks like they ate chicken feed pills to have this bum like that. And again some women do use these pills because they don't have the money to go into surgery and even the results are here, without talking about the breast cancer factor, this is not as "natural"... I guess.
I don't even want to have eyes on me all the time. No way. I have kids, a man and I'm not doing that to chase other men.
Extra medication :
I've been taking iron pills for weeks now. Although it sometimes takes months to build a better 'hemo' (more than 14 to have your surgery done) so I doubled the dosage like it was suggested to me, hoping my body will process it. So I'm having 14mg X2 a day.
The money to pay for surgery in DR:
I was also wondering about the money you know. I've been asking how I should do and because the clinic only takes cash I need to find a way to bring that money over there. Either having to tell the customs I'm travelling with such an amount. Or using a cash machine while in Dominican Republic which I'm not happy about because of thieves and fees too. I will find out.
Talking about thieves let's be aware we're going in a poor country. So people are not bad, they just want a better life like everybody elese and some of them wll try to robe you believe me. Even the staff int he clinic, some int he streets, etc. Be careful, check your money twice and it would even be more secure to have a waist bag than a handbag.
What I bought to bring with me for this surgery in DR:
I bought some Arnica tablets to help with the recovery right after the surgery, I also bought a lot of numbing cream to bring wih me and paracetamol, SPF 50 sun cream (not that I dislike the sun but since I'm over 30 I really need to avoid free radicals I don't want to have early wrinkles - I am a lucky one I don't really have some yet and I use sun cream every day anywhere I am), big summer dresses because with the swelling and the faja you must be having one or two sizes more before recovering.
Should I have my breast done with the BBL?
I'm still wondering what I should do with my breast to be honest. I don't like the idea of having silicone or something else in my body and in the same time every pics I've seen so far made me think it's a shame to do the downstairs and not the upstairs because it looks unfinished. So because Tania Medina told me we can talk about it during my consultation I will still be thinking until I get there.
I've seen on Youtube videos of this woman who had a BBL + tummy tuck. She was explaining her journey and said it's not like magic. You're not going to end up with the body of your dreams just in one day. First of all there's a lot of pain she said. Also some of us will need to improve their results by regularly going to the gym. I intended to do that of course because it's so much money I wasn't planning to spend on myself (I have a family this is quite selfish don't you think?), I really want these results to last longer so I will exercise for the rest of my life!!!
That's all for now. I suppose I will write again if there's anything major. I want to make sure I don't only talk about my feelings but also I give you some useful informations.
To be continued :)

Looking for roomate buddies in Santo Domingo march 2015 ?
Hello there
I wonder if there's another part of the site where I should post this.
I already booked a flat on Air BNB for a period of 12 days (15th to 28th). But I would be happy to change for a bigger place, as Tania de Medina told me the place I choose is a bit far from the clinic.
Instead they also have private flats near Winston churchill avenue, near Calle Presidente González, Avenida 27 de Febrero, all these places she talked about for good hôtels.
These places on Airbnb are usually 3 to 4 bedrooms and between $100 and $200 per day no matter how many you are.
I'm going with my husband. We only need one room.
If anybody would like to take the opportunity of having a great big and nice place to live for a few days, maybe even with a swimming pool and sporting center we can talk about it. You can message me privately.
Then we could rent a private nurse for us all, so she will stay in one of the rooms.
If I don't get any answer, I'll stay with the place I've already booked.

Provider Review
Plastic Surgeon
Wilfredo garcia no 5 arroyo hondo., Santo Domingo, Distrito Nacional
I don't really know what to say about her because what I though at the beginning was wrong. She put me in the hands of a pretend artist for vaginoplasty and this woman destroyed my body and my sexual life. And Tania herself said she could improve my booty shape but didn't at all (I was a 'square' or 'H' shape and always am) and she left me with fat necrosis on both sides of my butt who wouldn't fade away after one year. Plus a laser scar on my right leg who appeared miraculously during the surgery and nobody knows where it's coming from. And let's not talk about the daily waiting time at her clinic (2 to 4 hours from the initial appointmnt time), the lack of professionalism of her assistants who should go back to school to learn how to treat surgery patients, the missing clinic paperwork, the guy who helped puting me to sleep and was rubing his testicles on my knees, etc. This all has been an unpleasant experience for me. True she said she would help me if I want to come for round 2 to fix things but how could I trust her now?
