All My Bags are Packed. . . . .I'm Ready to Go . . .

I can't belive it!! Tomorrow evening we fly out to Costa Rica & my surgeries are on Tuesday at 8 am.

I am having a full tt with lipo, arm lift with lipo, BA & lipo to my thighs.

I made the date back in November - and back then it seems so far away!! I can't believe it!!

Today I am trying to keep busy doing laundry - changing the sheets, getting out all the extra pillows for when we come home. We will be in Costa Rica for 14 days.

I can not thank everyone enough for all of the infomation I have recieved from this site - it is so valuable!!

I am not really anxious any more - more excited - I can't wait to see the new ME!!

How exciting for you!
 
Congratulations!

What made you decide on Costa Rica when most everyone else is  interested in Mexico? I am in the planning and saving stages for my surgeries. I would be very interested in your reasons and your research of the Dr you are using.

Thank you,
Gail

Thanks Gail!!

My sister & her husband go to Costa Rica every year. 2 years ago she had a lot of dental work done & she looks amazing!! When she smiles - you can almost see that twinkle on her teeth.

When I began my journey here in Calfornia the cost for just the arms & tt was almost 20 K. After a small mental breakdown - my sister recommended Costa Rica. I began sending e-mails & pictures & started my research.

I am going to the Rosenstock Liberman Clinic (they have a web site) - I have checked their education, associations - the lead surgeon has even written books on lipo suction & they do education program for other PS!! A lot of folks from around the world  ~ Brazil, the USA & France ~ go there. They even have their own Yahoo forum.

There are folks there now that I have been chatting with.

Plus my DH & I are staying at a recovery care inn - with 24/7 nursing care, all meals, laundry & you are in Costa Rica!! We have a 2 bedroom cottage with free wifi - plasma screens & a cd library of movies!!

We are flying on Delta - first class (we saved so much on the surgery that we splurged!!)

What else could I ask for!!

Congrats and Best wishes!!  Will be thinking of you.
Post when you can.
Take care!

Thanks Ruth - how are your new arms doing? I hope I get the outcome that you got!! Funny - the arm lift is the only one that has me nervous!!

Hi!
My arms are doing GREAT!  Funny thing how I was so unhappy with the first brachio but am SO LOVING the new results. Very very happy with what my new surgeon was able to do.  I'm sure yours will turn out great.  Can't wait to see pics of the new you.

TTFN

Best of Luck and can't wait to see your updates!

Good luck to you as well!! I am paying $ 9,000.00 for a full tt, BA, arm lift & lipo to my thighs. It is all inclusive (meds, 1 set of garments, PS fee, etc.)
