Anyone getting a procedure done in TJ around Oct 31st? I need a buddy as I am starting to freak out, I'll be getting my procedure with Pantoja and I am still looking into recovery homes. Any recommendations? Also, what garment and booty pillow do you recommend? I want to purchase these before my procedure to be prepared.

There are so many! people recommend regular boppy's that you can get at target/Walmart but there's also the "happy booty pillow" which you can google and also one that Dr.Miami specifically sells that you can find on his website. I haven't bought one yet but I plan on investing in a good one since it's super important.

Do you know which one exactly will you be getting ? The only three I see are the bbl pillow, booty buddy and dr Miami, I tried to do further research but I don't see much reviews on them to determine which one is best. What doctor will do you bbl?

Recovery

My personal recovery was not the fastest healing process as I thought. It could be because I do not have any children and as it is im petite. The first 2-3 days you drain a lot, after your massages with Lucy, she removes the drains and they begin to close. The massages were needed and I am so glad I had them, although they were painful. The recovery home is pricy, but they do take care of you, feed you, help with showering etc. I think 2-3 days is perfect to be in a recovery home. After the 3rd day, a burning sensation and itching began

Hey, what's your email ? I'll send u pictures, I was petite too and he was able to get fat from all the places I had fat. You pay 500 to reserve your spot and the rest the day off surgery.

Thanks for answering doll, my email is shy_princess323@yahoo.com
Did you pay cash or with credit card? Is there any loan or payment options? I have about 3,000$ saved. Was your experience good? Did you travel alone? Or did you take your partner with you?
