Hi everyone, so a little about myself. I am a mom of 4, but have had 5 full term pregnancies. I am a young mother, 24. I am happily married to my wonderful husband.
So I have been doing my research for quite sometime and let me tell you, Realself has truly helped me with choosing the right doctor for me!! All the ladies who post their experiences, before/after pictures, and let us be apart of your journey ... You guys are amazing! Well, I have chosen to go with Dr. Salvador Pantoja. His work is amazing and speaks for itself. I have been speaking with Nadia and I have only wonderful things to say about this office!! They ALWAYS respond within 24hrs, they are very knowledgeable and informative, they truly do care about their patients, and they tell you everything up front (which I love!! No beating around the bush). I am planning on having a BBL, with a possible Tummy Tuck. I am kind of nervous about having both procedures done at the same time. (I am not sure how much pain I could handle). How has everyone felt after having both procedures done?? Does it feel like when you have a Caesarean?? I will continue to post more as my journey continues!! June 2016 come sooner!!!

Calling all bbl veterans!!
Mallol doll march 2017January 21, 2016
This question is to all the bbl veterans:
1. Do you think a recovery home is needed?? Or is a hotel fine??
2. How many days do I need to stay before I can fly home (Texas)?? Ex. If I have surgery on Monday, when will the doctor clear me to fly?? (approximately)
Thanks ahead of time :)

Omg thats That my same question ..... Planing
January 21, 2016
Hopefully we can get some answers :) I am okay with paying the recovery house but if it's not needed then I'd rather stay in the hotel.
January 21, 2016
Hi,
I'm by no means a veteran...but planning a 2nd round bbl. Here is what I did for my first one.
Stayed at a hotel(walking distance from clinic, not Pantoja. Wish with all my heart I had gone to him in the first place)
Stayed at hotel for a whole week-not necessary I would say but always good to be near by in case of complication as they say the first week is critical should any infections take place.

So pretty much recovery is pretty easy... The only reason to stay for the week would be for convenience issues, like in case of infections
January 21, 2016
I'm so sorry that you had a horrible experience... I chose Pantoja because after doing my extensive research I had found nothing but amazing work and never a negative review. I have seen and read many reviews from rs and other websites and they all seemed to have been really happy and proud with their results! If you do decide to go back and fix his work it be with Pantoja.. I haven't even had my surgery yet but I know he will do amazing :) :(
January 22, 2016
Thanks girl! Yes it's pretty much set to go with him for 2nd round. He was my second choice last time bc I also liked his work! hoping for the best, and want to book for next month. Yeah I would say usual Soreness, problem moving..etc but nothing big if you're not getting a TT but it depends on what kind of person you are. I know some girls can't take pain or being alone so perhaps medical recovery house is better. Also, For my second round I won't be getting a hotel I will be heading home after the one night stay he offers. Just need to find someone who can take me in and go pick me up. :)
January 22, 2016
Do you live in California?? I was going to ask.... I am traveling alone, but I handle pain really well... What struggles do you think I might have if I were to stay in a hotel?
January 22, 2016
I been ready more reviews and by the pic pantojas place looks nice!!!!
I don't know and others said that hotel is better and clean!!!!

I'm leaning more to a hotel that has airport Transportation on the same strip as pantoja's office... I just need to figure out if I can handle putting the compression garment on... I will be traveling alone so I don't know if it'll be hard to put on :/
January 22, 2016
I am aiming for June 6, Monday... For sure in June, but I haven't confirmed my exact day yet.
January 22, 2016
Ok if you going along is better if u stay at recovery house that way u can have help and food went u need it...... Casa de las lilas is one of the best( info in RS SISTERS)
January 22, 2016
Casa las lilas
antzamora@yahoo.com.mx
Club med
Mrmarvinlee@aol.com
Beautiful care recovery house
Rgjonessr@yahoo.com
And I'm not sure but I think u have to put at the end of each web.mx because is Mexico but I may be wrong
GOOD LUCK
January 22, 2016
I checked the prices for both of those places today but it is better to stay at "Our Little Friend's house" instead... They cover everything, where as the other places or more in price and don't have as good amenities as our little friends house... Or if they do, they charge extra for those amenities. :/ but thank... I've narrowed down to city express hotel or our little friends house recovery.. :)
