So, I'm currently waiting on the instructions from Nadia on how to go about sending my deposit thru PayPal. I've changed my mind so many times regarding my doctor but I've finally made up my mind. I tried looking for a doctor close to where I live but didn't find a doctor delivering the results I'm looking for. I'm super nervous and excited. Any advice as to what to pack and where to stay would be appreciated. Also vitamins to take and where to buy Lipo foam and all that other good stuff. Thanks in advance

Hi Ruby, Im right on the same page as you, Ive been debating for the past few months which surgeon to choose, so far I'm right on Pantojas team, the doctors in my area don't convince me including the high price for BBL its crazy!! I haven't yet booked my appointment, trying to figure out who will babysit my daughter and how long I should stay in TJ, i hope not more than 5 days, will stay at recovery home for sure, Nadya included 2 RH in the email I still need to call and ask for pricing..Well good luck on your surgery girl, please keep me update on any information you get!!

Hey Missy. I know the feeling girl. I'd be traveling with my bf and Nadia said with the bbl procedure I won't need to stay at a recovery home if I have someone traveling with me. When were you planning on going?

Hi Ruby...Im scheduled for Dr Pantoja on May 26th. Deposit paid & now OMG Im SUPER NERVOUS already! So if ur not staying in a recovery home where will u be staying? Have U decided yet? The recovery homes are so expensive. Im not really sure where to stay yet either...lol

Omg omg!! Congrats!!! Girl I'm nervous too. And I'm thinking Grand Hotel or Hotel Lucerna. They have medical staff on duty 24 hrs. Of course for an extra charge but I'd give me the peace of mind of knowing if something goes sideways they are right there to help. Downside is they don't have shuttle I believe and no breakfast included

Yeah I'd be flying in myself. I'm flying in from Mexico though. It's cheaper and it's a straight shot. Are you staying in a recovery home or a hotel? And what are you packing?

Hey girl, been doing research for the RH, so far I'm leaning more on "Our little friends" (formerly clubmed) been reading excellent reviews from Pantoja Dolls they charge $155/night - I was told 5-6 days is enough for a BBL procedure and make sure to start taking arnica pills 1xday 2 weeks before surgery go on www.makemeheal.com some of the girls gave this info to me. :)

Wow. That's a good price. They have transportation available? Do you know how much more they charge if someone stays with you? Girl I have no clue what vitamins to take or what? I've been taking chewable multi vitamin pills but that's it.

Hey girl, yes they offer transportation to and from the airport, you might want to call them to get the pricing right and its $70/night extra if you bring a person i think.. I think a multi vitamin is fine, avoid aspirin/advil before surgery since they are blood thinners..
