Getting BBL From Duran...done with Yily!

I am in the first stages of this process... ive sent pics..an email and called 3 days ago after researching for about a year. im planning on a BBL Lipo .. BR & Lift ...I am hoping to be scheduled around May 13 ...May 21 ... my motivation is.. i gained 50 lbs during and over the stress of my boyfriend of six years cheated on my..got someone else pregnant..then losing my job during the economy downturn. Now that I'm getting back to my true self I decided to get the body I've wanted even when I was a size 4! I moved away fir 2 years and am moving back to my city and want to be even more booticious than before I left! im lost ten pounds already workingonlosing 20 more by the time of my desired sx date!

I purchased my vitamins today will begin taken...

I purchased my vitamins today will begin taken them tomorrow. I'm excited, have gotten over my initial nerves. I met a great buddy that is scheduled for surgery on the same date I am. Due to the many stories of there being a need to look out for ratchets who try to steal your belongings I will be making sure my things are well protected, plus no one wants to mess with me before or after surgery....lol I have lost 15 pounds since mid February, am planning to lose fifteen more by the time of surgery which is 7 weeks away! I do not yet have all of the things I plan on taking, but I will pack light.

Really trying to lose 15 lbs... trying the healthy route. have lost a total of 15 so far. id rather be closer to my ideal weight before surgery..this last 15 20 lbs are proving to be difficult...grrrrrr does anyone have suggestions? I dont eat fast food so... it must be I need to kick my exercise routine up a few notches.

My journey may be coming to a complete halt!!! I was quoted three or four different quotes told I was confirmed for Jacquelines spa on three occassions but have received an email today stating that the quote Yily gave me on what'sapp after being concerned about the variations in prices that Ive been getting for two months, I receive an email saying nope the price is 500 dollars more now and does not include what Yily herself told me it included ... to top it all off the email said if I planned on staying at Jacqueline's spa I needed to contact her and send her my flight information etc. something I have done five times already and have also confirmed TWICE by Yily on what'sApp last time being April 23rd. I'm almost over it and would rather go to someone more organized. I don't want to go to another country with nowhere to stay, & fluctuating prices. I'll be damned if I arrive assuming I'm paying one price and she decide that she wants to charge something else. I did not recently get my quote and pay a deposit, so I don't know how she can up her prices on me. I am definitely pissed off to the umpteenth degree.

Yily Doll May 20th!

Tomorrow is the day!

ANNOYED

As you know I was scheduled for May 20
and today is the 21st and I have not had surgery.. One reason is out of only FOUR Yily girls 2 had sx. we all had been there since 7am my results were all good yet me and my buddy sat for more than 13 more hours waiting to have surgery with NO FOOD OR WATER ... My buddy finally went in @ 8:35pm by 11pm when decided to eat/leave to the recovery house she still was not finished. I also had an issue with miscommunication with Yily and after my anger and disappointment subside I will post a blow by blow account of what happened. To everyone going to JMSPA ...DON'T. SHE HAS BED BUGS AND MOSQUITO INFESTATION..INCLUDING WATER DAMAGE. Thank goodness I decided not to go there.

Sprint

If your mobile phone provider is Sprint...please note..even if you pay to be able to make and receive calls while in the DR your phone will not work. I have not been able as of today's date been able to speak or text my family. It's important to have a working phone when you get off the plane. This adds to my irritation..you're even unable to call Sprint from your phone.

Today around 3 lipo and bbl only..Sigh

No breast reduction and lift..no arms no thighs. I am trying to stay positive. Will say Yily is good at sculpting ..but there is a NEW DR..who is fabulous and has GREAT prices includes masseuse in quote! I'm staying with Yasmin's (pronounced Jasmine) recovery house! She is the best of tbe best. You cannot get any better than Yasmin. prices are great include transportation and AWESOME 3 meals vooked by her beautiful mother. ysamik@hotmail.com

A QUOTE IS JUST A QUOTE UNTIL U GET TO DR

Ladies.. I will admit Dra Yily has done some amazing bodies..and some not so amazing ones..but overall she does pretty darned good...HOWEVER I would like to share MY experience with those who like the truth. My sx was scheduled for Monday May 20th as well as 2 possibly 3 other ladies...by 8pm on May 20th not one of us had been done. My levels were 12.9 got a "very good" from cardiologist..I don't and have never smoked and don't drink. The other girl was 13 and everything else was good..third girl was 11.6 we had not eaten since the evening prior and mind you I traveled from California so my time zone is 3 hours earlier than EST so I hadnt actually eaten for longer than the New York and Miami girl. We waited allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day and night to FINALLY get exams and marked for surgery. She refused to do ANY lipo on on the 11.6 she was a bit too low and didn't want a transfusion. me and my buddy had no issues UNTIL ... it was time to pay. Yily first said she didnt quote me the price though she did and verified at least 4 different times over a month or two... She came racing in the room with a mad look on her face sat on the bed next to me and was saying "honey" multiple times rolling her neck like a ghetto queen trying to convince me of what ultimately was admitted as the truth when we ALLLLLLLL sat around and scrolled through WhatsApp. Yily then concedes that yes she quoted me the price she did but she said it was a mistake and that I could not deduct the cost of me no longer getting my arms and legs done because she already gave me good quote. I nicely told her I didn't want them done and I am not trying to get over on her as was proven and admitted to by YILY herself. She said i didn't have to get my arms and thighs done but I would still pay the same price as if they were getting done.

By 10:40 PM I didn't have SURGERY 5/20/2013

Delirious frustrated and very emotional I informed Yira that I would not be operated on that late in the evening. I also thought better of having a doctor operate on me who was unprofessional, and down right rude. I along with another individual requested our money back. Ladies please request that you discuss your quote or any oof your business without someone present..then again you do need a witness to all of this foolishness so maybe it's better for everyone to know each other's business. Today after Yily spoke with my RH hostess she convinced me to reconsider. I didn't want to go home not have nothing done So i thought okay I will do a bbl and lipo as lobg as i don't endure day two of starvation mode...well Yily wanted me there not in the morning but at 3 -pm...she did say i could a something light to eat. I asked if she knew i would be worked within an hour or two of arrival...THAT COULD NOT BE Guaranteed. as of Tuesday May 21st 9:51 pm pst I have not had surger basically am through with YILY and her lying game playing ass and asked for my deposit back. the girl with the low hemoglobin waited another 24 hours for ger money...which she received today. Luvkily her mother was there for support. Me on the other hand had no one and after being told I would get my deposit back ..upon going to pick it up i was later told she used my money to pay for bloodtests etc.

YILY SUCKS!!

I would like to clarify Yily did not try to have me reconsider having her do my sx the laddy in the RH didn't want me to go home without having any surgery done, so I opted for Tuesday morning...by 3pm I asked if I would be sitting there AGAIN for God knows how long ans requested a time window of approximately when could I have sx. mind you I had to pay for procedures i didn't want even though I was not getting them done. We all know arms and inner thighs are additional in price so when you get them its more money when you don't you deduct the 500 from what you are paying. To those who had a wonderful experience I feel you are lucky and am happy for you.. to all others who have had horrible experiences I understand, support you and also share in your emotional pain.

Remove Dra Yily from being listed as my doctora!

I can't seem to get rid of Yily as my doctor listed. If anyone can tell me how to switch it to Duran please explain how I can do so.

Leaving Dominican Republic with nada

I unfortunately cannot even get a breast reduction/lift unless I can stay four more days in the country. This experience has been hell. I understand why this is the only way procedure can be done out of concern for my health being I would be leaving so quickly on a long flight which might increase risk of complications. I am very sad and unhappy. This will be my final post. Good luck with your adventures everyone!

Great review?

CD I was looking for u on Monday. I'm so sorry things didnt work out for u. That was ridiculous I couldn't believe sx was still bring done that time of night. I hope one day ur able to get ur sx.
California Dreamer 23 May 2013
Hi living4me .. I had a horrible experience! The one thing I can take away from this experience is that I met a lot of wonderful people of all ages, from around the country that I feel will be friends for life! I'm hoping your surgery went well, and even though I have had my issues with Yily I know she did an awesome job. We may have met at CIPLA and don't even know it..I'm very friendly and talkative.
mommy_to_7 23 May 2013
I have to say that I love your attitude CD. Even tho your experience sucked monkey balls, and I hate that for you, you are still positive and upbeat. I know a lot of people would be mad and knock everything about the doctor but you stated your experiences good and bad. I feel that even tho it was a bad experience you are very objective. I just wanted to let you know that.
California Dreamer 23 May 2013
Thank you mommy_to_7. I wanted to be honest and I didn't need to knock Yily's obvious plastic surgery skills to do so. It's a shame that I didn't and won't be going to my obvious first choice for surgery. I am upset...disappointed, and very turned off about my Yily experience. I am not one to accept bull shit out of desperation for plastic surgery, or anything for that matter.Some get on RS and are ride or die for a doctor no matter how wrong you know they have treated others, which in my opinion is foolish. I am hoping others are WILLING to do the same if they find themselves in the same situation. Wishing you the best in everything you do!
mommy_to_7 23 May 2013
I understand completely. As it stands right now I'm still Team Yily but I won't put myself or my health in jeopardy to stay that way. Again I'm so sorry for what you went through
mommy_to_7 21 May 2013
*hugs* honey I'm so so sorry. That really sucks. this is really bad. I just wish i could hug you right now
California Dreamer 22 May 2013
Thank you gor that mommyto7. This is horrible and possibly because of my review Yily will get some act right..though I doubt it. And if she does it will only be for a short while because you can only hide your true self for so long.
CGray 21 May 2013
And, if you are going to have Dr., who works at Cipla do your surgery then the testing fees should be removed from your cost and you shouldn't have to do them again since you staying at Cipla.....
CGray 21 May 2013
Dayum gurl.... Dat fucking sucks... I'm sooo very glad you spoke up for yourself and have moved on to getting Duran to do your surgery... I'm sure you will be please, and soooooooo sorry that you had to endure that on your special day....
California Dreamer 21 May 2013
I have cried for 2 days. I won't be having ANY surgery at CIPLA because Duran cannot schedule me while I am here for the duration I have left to stay. I will not risk my health and rush having these multiple procedures then flying to California. I have had the worst experience of my life! came to DR with high anticipations and expectations of YILY and there is nothing anyone can tell me about other than that she can most times do a good sculpting.
California Dreamer 21 May 2013
I will be going home with Nada ..saving up formore airfare and accomodations after surgery. my buddy hot done and looks nice. was willing to basically sell her soul to get done even when she thought Yily was wrong before and after surgery..and yes she has complaints ...
CGray 21 May 2013
You don't want to go to one of the other surgeons?
CGray 21 May 2013
OMG... Really dat is ridic.... You don't want to try another doctor in DR? I PM You....
littleinthemiddle 21 May 2013
Your buddy sold her soul? What are her complaints?
littleinthemiddle 21 May 2013
And why were you waiting so long?
California Dreamer 22 May 2013
I'm meaning she was willing to just be quiet and go along with over 13 hours of waiting..being left after surgery for so long by herself..a lot of other things in order to not make Yily mad (her words) to get surgery.
California Dreamer 22 May 2013
I don't know...
CGray 22 May 2013
That really sucks... I've heard from many that Cipla nurses are not attentive and it takes a long time for them to come check on you....It's really unfortunate that women think more about the doctors attitude than asking and/or demanding services. This has been a common thread from RS mmbrs...
