01 VLOG Our Family's First Trip to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic + I got COSMETIC SURGERY!

This is part 1 of a mini vlog series about getting cosmetic (plastic) surgery in the Dominican Republic.
Part 2 Surgery Day: • 02 VLOG My SURGERY DAY...
Part 3 After Surgery: • 03 What happened after...
I had been wanting to get a reduction for over 3 years with Dr. Jean Paul Giudicelli (Dr. G) in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I had struggled with years of back pain and being uncomfortable in my own skin. About 2 years ago I had put down my deposit and planned to go when I was hit by a car a few months later. It seemed like it would never happen.
However, when my family moved to Cabrera, Dominican Republic I became very hopeful (especially since my deposit had not expired).
In this video we document our family's first trip to Santo Domingo. We were able to go go karting, the movies to see Disney's Elements, the mall, and many other places. AND after meeting with Dr. Giudicelli I was determined to be in good health to be able to get a life-changing surgery.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ SUBSCRIBERS make us smile 😁❤️❤️❤️

ABOUT CABRERA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Cabrera, Dominican Republic is the equivalent of a small town. It is located on the North Coast of the country east of Cabarete, Sosua, and West of Las Terrenas and Samana. The town is surrounded by beautiful beaches, views, and very friendly people. We have met many dominicans, haitains, canadianas, and a few americans of all socio-economic status living throughout Cabrera.

    You have no idea how I highly appreciate you making a video of this process & experience. So many women walk into this blindly, your video makes our decision easier & less anxious. & yes the Traffic/driving in Santo Domingo is ONE OF A KIND

    Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad to hear that this has been helpful to those interested! I remember when I was looking I really couldn’t find any vlogs that showed actual views of the city, cecip, or wasn’t just someone talking and talking. I tried not to talk to much and give you a glimpse of what it was like for me. ❤️❤️❤️

    This is a great question. I personally didn’t but it was one I asked! Jen (the owner of the recovery house) said that they had men in the past and when I left there was one coming. While I was there I did have a male overnight nurse too.
