So have been battling with sooo so many decisions. I'll take my time and say all. Right now I've decided on Dr. Alvarez. Please if anyone knows any recovery house close to spectrum, please let me know. So far I heard of on that costs $135 and its out of my budget. This project is expensive enough, plus my $1000+ flight tickets

Hey Dr. Alvarez does good work from what I've seen so you'll be on good hands... Those tix are high when I checked they weren't anymore than $700 including everything google your tix info and see what pops up unless you've already bought them. When I was considering Miami I was gonna stay the 1st couple nights after surgery at a recovery house... that could save you a few hundred...

Accommodation

Hi guys. So my flight tickets cost me $1600. I'm coming from outside of USA. So I'll be more than happy to save a few bucks from anywhere possible. But the RH I'm seeing take over 100$ per night, massage not included, so by the time you add massage, you'll probably be paying 150$ everyday. I wanna spend a maximum of 80$ daily including massage. I have this lady on Airbnb , she happens to be a retired massage therapist, and she's saying she can offer me massage therapy. But her house is 22mins away. And spectrum advises that I stay not more than 15mins away. I know 5 extra minutes may not harm me, but I just want you guys to advise me. This lady offers as low as 40$ per night, and she's offer to give me $30 per massage. She's also offering meals and transport. Which might average the total cost to about $90 per night. I'll be there for 16nights. I think it's a great deal. My only problem is that, she lives 22mins away from Spectrum and I don't think she has ever massaged a BBL patient, but she's a retired massage therapist who know well about lymphatic massage. Is it too much of a risk?

An extra 5 minutes driving time will not hurt you. My drive was about 40 minutes from my hotel and I did fine. Actually I was out of it most of the time so you will be back before you even know it. Make sure and take some pillows for comfort.

Thank you msan122. Unfortunately, the lady is starting to have doubts, and said she won't be able to offer any service anymore. So that option is off

I'm not sure if it's too late but you should keep the air B&B spectrum is never on time with there appointments . You will always be waiting to be seen. They don't even go by first come first serve basis . I just left on the 30th of August and I've made sure for every time they gave me I was on time or early and I ended up waiting long after my appointment . 2 consecutive days I didn't see the doctor and I had an appointment. The ladies at the front desk new that the doctor wasn't even in and still had ladies sitting and waiting for no reason. 22mins is not bad from spectrum . I promise

Accommodation problem solved!

So my last post was about my accommodation dilemma. And the Airbnb lady kind of freaked out at some point and said the procedure sounds "complicated" so she was gonna call it off. Then I emailed Jessica from Spectrum and she actually replied promptly and gave me a list of RH and hotel options. So that was how I contacted this new place I've chosen. And William, the person I was talking to was great, seemed to have a lot of knowledge about the whole process cos their packages are divided into various options and I was able to choose the one that suits my needs and budget at the same time. My mind is very happy with this choice. The communication from them to me is detailed and prompt. So I couldn't ask for more. So I can say that the accommodation problems are off the table, and I forgot to add that the RH is within 15mins of Spectrum. I know September is a long time, but tic toc!
