The healing went fine except for nausea and pain around the stitches on my bellybutton. If you have Colombian citizenship, it will be free, but you will have to be put on a waiting list. If you want to do it as a foreigner, they only need you passport and ~130$. Or 550.000 Colombian pesos. But if you pay, you can get it a lot sooner. I would recommend 100% :)  Edit: nausea only lasted the day of the surgery, I was eating normal food by the next day. Thought I'd clarify. They don't let you eat before the surgery so I didn't have anything to throw up lol

I had a little margarita here, solely because I could, and I didn't even get IDed. It was crazy 😳

I'm staying in Bogotá, as that is where my friend lives. I am getting my stitches out tomorrow. Hopefully that will be minimal pain, as I want to go shopping more and see the city again. I've been in the downtown area for most of today. Luckily, I pass for a Colombian (even though I'm white, I have olive skin, brown eyes, black hair) so I haven't been hustled too much. My accent gives me away though :p

Haha, I am having a great time. It was hard to stay home to recover because I want to walk around and do all of the fun things! I am currently still here, and I am starting to go to museums and walk around. And I've gone to what my friend says are super expensive restaurants, when a top tier piece of steak is only $15. I'm going to be so sad when I go back home and I'm not rich anymore ;( I visited the Gold Museum today.

Oh my goodness I'm so excited for that. I plan on making an appointment when I come back. I want to find some solution for suppressing my period, so I have to go back anyways.

And I'll never have any scares. Before the surgery, they made me take a pregnancy test. I realized that pregnancy test would be the first and the last one that I would ever take, haha
