Tummy tuck in Colombia

Tummy tuck in Colombia

Heyarcam
WORTH IT$5,000
So I’m 1 week post op tummy tuck, full body lipo, and bbl in Colombia. This has definitely mentally been the hardest week of my life. I have such a low pain tolerance and I only thought about the pain of the surgery, I didn’t think about having Cannulas inserted 5 times into my hands and wrists for a pain pump, the painful as hell massages I’ve been getting every day since my surgery, the pain of the drains after 5 days and how it hurts to move, but also hurts to stay still, literally getting my vagina stuck in my faja zipper ????. All of those things being said I’m still happy I did it. I’m originally From Canada but live in New Zealand with my husband who is originally from Colombia so we are here visiting his family which makes my recovery much nicer. I have an 8 month old son and he’s being taken such great care of by his grandparents and my husband. Plus for the first time since I was a kid when I lean over I don’t have loose skin!!! Even with the swelling I can already see how great it looks and I am so damn happy. Just so ready for the pain to be over.

You look great! I'm scheduled to go see him in a month can I message you and get your experience with him? I can't find many reviews.

Hi. I am between Dr. Garcia and Dr. Mejia. I am a little confused because I don’t see many reviews of him but his Instagram have great before and after. I am planning to have BA, TT or liposuction depend of his recommendation. I will go in June 30th.
Why do you choose Dr. Garcia? What kind of surgery? How much? Are you going to Medellín or Bucaramanga? I will be in Medellín
Thank you very much

My date is for July 11th with Dr. Garcia. I'm getting ab etching with bbl 3200 plus the stay at medtour for 13 days at 89 a day comes to about 4,400. I'll be in Medellin as well. I'm nervous because I can't find any reviews and he doesn't give out references of his past patients that can be contacted. I haven't had good communication with the recovery house medtour and at this point I don't know how to feel about the whole thing. I'm contemplating walking away from my 1300 I've already invested. I've been talking to his assistant Diana and I don't understand her English most of the time. I don't know what to do. Do you want to stay in contact to keep each other informed on what's going on?

Thank you for sharing. I am in the same page that you. My surgery is scheduled in July 4 with Dr. Mejia and I made my deposit too. Now, I am a little concerned after the review that I found this week. This was the reason that I was considering Dr. Garcia. I sent my pics but I don’t have any answer yet.
If you want we can be in contact. I speak Spanish and know very well Medellín. What clinic are you going to have your surgery? I suggest IQ. Don’t go to the other one that they offer. So far I made reservation in Affinity apartments in Poblado it’s close to the office doctor. I know that Dr. Garcia works in IQ too. I am trying to contact the nurse that the doctor’s office recommended me. I pay US$85 for 2 people at night including breakfast.
I can’t contact any of Dr. Garcia patients either.
I will be happy to help you in any way. Now I am praying for clarity in my mind

Hi Marylin. Hope you are feeling better about your surgery info. I spoke with Diana today and look like the doctor is very busy. He is going on vacation at the end of the month but he will go back on July 5 th to Medellín. I still thinking to see him before to take my final decision. I really like his before and after.
Also, they deleted some messages that I sent to you before and I can’t find your email. Maybe we communicated by private message here snd support each other in our process.

Lower back swelling

Heyarcam
Strangely enough for me right now the worst pain is my lower back. During my massages that has also been BY FAR the most painful spot to massage. I end up digging my fingernails into my husbands shoulder and screaming obscenities! Now I’ve noticed that my lower back has swollen up and is so tender ????

Did you had lipo on your lower back. My worst pain it hasn't been the tummy tuck but the lipo area on my lower back. I'm starting massage this week which is 2 week post
May 6, 2018
Yes I did! It was so bloody painful for me, but thank god at 19 days post op it’s a lot better. I’ve also had 15 massages by now though so lots of hard days!
May 6, 2018
I'm still having pain but not to much! I keep thinking it will get better soon!
May 7, 2018
It will get better! I totally know your pain though. I had such a hard time sleeping. It was awful

Day 08

Sore as hell today. Feel like I’m day 2 post op again which honestly makes me want to cry. Drains are stinging like hell and I’ve been told to expect getting them out day 15 :(. Just wish I could sleep the whole day away to be honest. Still so happy with my results but days like this are so hard mentally.
