I flew to Bogota,Columbia for surgery with Dr Raphael Gomez. He is wonderful. Had full body lipo, BL /BA, and TT with muscle repair. I spent 2 weeks at his recovery house and 3 weeks at a hotel when I didn't need a nurse any longer. It included all transportation to the Dr and airport to and from and 10 lymphatic massages. I added 5 addtl massages at my hotel. Totally helps with the swelling. They still pick me up and take me to the Dr. I leave on 7/16 so this is my last visit. You can follow my journey with photos on Realself.com under Joeyashe . He also came to the apt and sent plastic surgeon to check on me at the hotel when he went to Miami for the 4th of July holiday.

Thank you. I just arrived in Columbia. Too late to chicken out. I will stay on the meds as long as I need to lol and hope the pain pump works for me.

I'm from the US and I'm going to Bogota Columbia. Dr Raphael Gomez. Many Canadians head to Columbia. Excellent doctors and prices. Recovery house 12 days with full meals transport nurses garments etc. Check out REALSELF.COM. I've been on there for years. My next surgery is June 17. TT/BA/LIFT and full body lipo. You can find doctors from all over the world. Check the reviews good,bad, and the ugly. My US plastics left a lot to be desired. I had some good and some awful experiences until I became a realself creeper..lol

Congratulations! I'm sure it will be worth all the pain.
