Finally made it home!!!!!!So much to share!!!!!!DRA.ROBLES Santo Domingo, DR

its been months since I updated well I am very happy with my breast that Robles did but I feel my tummy could be better and I don't like how big my lipo scares are my friends went too and theres are big as well. I know other people who went to other surgeons and they have very little scares. So with that being said I am going with Yily this time around. She quoted me 3,200 so this whole trip should cost around 4,500 plane tickets included of course my husband is going to be going with me. My surgery is supposed to be the 7th of February so you know Im working hard to make that money I'm about 1,000 away from just the surgery cost. This time around I'm doing my arms back sides and tummy. I'm sooo freaking ready. I don't know if I'm staying in a recovery house I'm thinking of staying in a hotel with a nurse for the first 2 days but I'm not sure yet.

So I am here again as promised to share the part 2 of my trip to DR and my issues with the clinic and recovery house. Okay so first I must say sorry because on my last post I said I was 10 days postop but I was mistaken today I am 11 days postop so that means I left DR 7 days after my surgery and that explains me still feeling really crappy and depressed (lol). Well before I go into me and how I am feeling I must complete my account of my trip. Okay so here goes

So as I said I woke up asking for my husband and complaining of being cold and than I fall back to sleep I spent the next 4 hours in and out of sleep. When I finally wake up for real my husband is right there he says the doctor has came in to see me about 3 times and the nurses have come in almost every half of a hour. I feel warm and cozy and my husband says it is due to the heating pad they placed on my legs because I could not hold my body heat. I ask how I look and he says great and tells to just rest. Soon a nurse comes in to check my iv and give me a pain injection in my leg she than tells my husband it is okay if I eat as breakfast is on its way. When the food arrives I have no appetite so he gives me one of my ensures. I drink it slowly about a half hour later I throw up all over myself its the worst feeling ever my stomach was on FIRE!!! He gets a nurse and she cleans me up and helps me chance into another gown and gives me another shot for vomiting and more pain meds. She was so sweet I start to wonder where she was before my surgery. She than gets me up to start walking. Its so hard but I make it to the chair and than back to the bed with the help of her and my husband. Soon Dr.Robles comes in and talks to me about my surgery and to tell me what she did and to chance me into my compression garment. I hate it and it was really a pain to have it put on. I was really out of it but I soon realized it was not the crotch-less one I requested in my many emails to Laura. I should have said something but I am so out of it besides I feel that it was Laura's Job to have that done for me. Anyway I am given a bag full of pills and sent on my way to the recovery house . The driver who comes to pick me up is a guy named William not the Leo who I was hoping for. He takes our bags to the car and my husband takes me. The ride to the recovery house is fine and when we arrive to the building Fatima and another women are waiting to help me upstairs. We take the elevator to the apartment which is really big and nicely setup. They help me to my bedroom and it has a queens size bed for me and a twin size bed for my husband with a lounge chair and a balcony. I loved the room the moment I saw it. They helped me into bed and soon the cook Mary brings us a really good sew with rice. I soon fall back to sleep and I am so happy I am at the recovery house but that feeling does not last long. I sleep most of the day and night and only wake up when it is time for dinner and to my surprise it was not healing food but fried sausage and fried plantans. I try to eat but I dont really eat much and once again my husband brings me one of the many ensures we brought with us.
The recovery house I was taken to was Juana's Recovery house and the driver that took me there was her brother William and one of the ladies that helped me upstairs was their sister Fatima.
Juana is not there in the day time as she has a job so she leaves her sister Fatima in charge . Fatima is does not do anything but gossip in the kitchen and walk around and pretend to care. I will not waste my time going into every detail of my hell being in the care of these people.
The only one who cared about me was the always smiling over worked and under payed cook Mary. She was the person who cooked cleaned and washed our clothes and when she had a day off good luck to you. It was because the lack of care in the home that I decided on my third day in the recovery house that I would be leaving early with my husband to finish the rest of my recovery home in the states with my husband. If it was not for him I would never have been able to make it to the bathroom or get a sponge bath. He fought for me when i was unable to fight for myself. When my drain clogged up and I paniked Fatima did not know what to do and did not want to call Laura for me I had to turn on my phone and make a long distance call to Laura myself and when Laura asked Fatima to check my drain she did not know what to do she instead called Laura back and tried to tell her I did not have anymore fluid in me even though when I stood up fluid was pouring from my leg like running water and it was only day 3 of my recovery this was when I decided I would be leaving early. I called Laura and told I would be needing a refund for the extra days I would not be using and why. I also complained to the Dr.Robles on my appointments. They taked to them about the unhealthy cooking and the none help and the food became a little healthier and they even hired a nurse but the damage for me was already done. If you could please dont let them send you to this house it looks nice but thats where the caring ends!!!!

Okay so I had time to rest and compose my thoughts on my surgery and trip to DR. So today is the 16th of March and I am 10 days PO from my tummy tuck with agressive lipo and breast implants. I left DR 8 and 1/2 days post op. You probably like what?! I thought you had to stay in DR at least 10 days and guess what your right!!! But I could not take another day in that place. Lets start from the beginning..... I arrived in DR on the 6th of March with my husband and Leo was waiting for me with a sign he greeted us warmly and took our luggage from us and took us to the clinic. He was nice and even thought he does not speak english very well engaged us with small talk. When we arrived at the clinic Laura was waiting for us. She introduced herself and told us to have a seat she would be with us shortly. Shortly turned out to be about 45 mins. When she finally came back she apologized for taking so long. I was a little bothered but I let it go I mean [RS bleep] happens.l We went in the office and she collected my funds and gave me a receipt. Than she took pictures of my body. She than informs me that my room is not ready but we could do my x-rays and other stuff while I wait. I said okay after we completed all our paper work and I did my x-rays and stuff my room was still not ready so I told her this was fucked up as me and my husband had a long flight and were tried and I needed to shower. So within 5 mins my room was ready but I had no pillow. I had one in my bag but I was not going to use it and they needed to hurry up and get me one. So I went to take a shower while I waited and the water was not hot so my husband went and got a nurse. She told me to run the water for 10 mins and it would get warm. It didn't I went and told her again she told me that thats as hot as it get LUKEWARM. So I got upset and asked her why the hell did she tell me to keep on running it than. She "does not understand" me . I roll my eyes because at this point I know I can get really ugly and I know when someone is trying to get over on me. So I take my cold bath and fall asleep without a pillow. I was so tried. I wake up the next day and meet with the Asthma doctor oh I still don't have a pillow. Finally the head nurse comes in and apologized for her staffs stupidity. Just to let you know this story as a lot of apologizes in it. I at around 8:30 I meet Dr.Robles she is very sweet and kind and she marks me up and she is very honest and makes me feel really at ease. She than informs me I will be her third surgery for that day. I'm like Laura said i would be your first in the thousand of emails I receive.On top of that I had not eaten since 10 pm the night before. She says she does not know why laura said this and informs me that the other two ladies are older and she has to take longer on them she tells me to relax and she lets me drink some water infront of her but she says I can not eat. I ask her what time I will be than and she answers honestly that she does not like to give times as each surgery is different but she promises to keep me posted and check on me between every surgery and she says laura will keep me posted as well. I say cool. I mean what can I say I want this women to help make me pretty lol . So the wifi in the clinic is not great but I manage to get a okay signal and spend the time blogging and talking to my family at home and napping. Laura never checks in on me when I ask the simple nurses about her they become confused as to what I am talking about at this moment I decide I hate them and my husband can deal with these people. I email and call Laura but no responds. As I am becoming really pissed off remember that pillow I wanted it finally shows up. Doctor Robles keeps her word and comes in to see me right after her first surgery and marks me up some more. I tell her about not being able to get in touch with Laura and how this can not be the case because the nures do not seem to know anything and she needs to be reachable. She lets me know she will talk to her. 15 mins after she leaves guess who shows up.... the invisible Laura. Once again she is sorry she was busy checking on the ladies in the recovery houses at the time I did not know this was a lie. I except it because I thought she was busy doing her job and I know how hard recovery can be. She tells me she will keep me posted and hurries off. As soon as she leaves the room my husband says she giggles way to much and he thinks there is something fake about her. I ignore him and take another cold bath. Than we go outside for a walk and to ease my nerves. When we come back in I am sleepy again and I take another nap he does too. When I wake up 5 more hours has pass. I check my email and email laura again and ask her whats the word. I wait and no reply. So I ask the stupid nurses where was the doctor they inform me that they do not know the doctors activities and I must as laura.So I flip I tell them I can not get in contact with Laura and I ask them why are they even there. So they ask Me for Lauras cell and they use their cells and try and contact her. They get no answer they say sorry and promise when they see Laura they will tell her I need her at the same time my husband calls Leo on his cell and ask him to get in touch with Laura he says he will. 5 mins later Leo the driver comes upstairs to my room and tells us he spoke with Laura and she said she will be on her way to see me soon and that she just emailed me. We thank him and I check my email Laura does not answer my question about what time I will have surgery but to say sorry about not answering her phone as she had no signal and was till waiting to hear from the doctor. I dont even reply its almost 7pm in the evening. The nurses come in around 8 to get my iv running after two failed attempts to get the big ass needle in she ask for help and goes to find some. As soon as she leaves I finally have a break down and begin to cry my husband tries to sooth me. The next nurse comes in an d gets the iv in on the first try. I am than given a blue pill to relaxe. Just than Laura comes in extra bubbly and tells me I am next. i ignore her and lean on my husband a drift to sleep on him. I dont remember anything after that but 6 hours later I wake up asking for my husband and telling them I am cold.
This is only the the start of my trip..........
I am tried now and I will post more when I get some rest....
