Hi Ladies!!! I hope the Holidays were great for everyone. Between the holidays, my workload, a new school semester starting and I'm taking 4 classes while working full time, I totally neglected updating my review and/or responding to msgs. I've gotten things back in order so I'll get back to updating regularly. I had a request to provide a list of supplies, so I'll provide that and pictures at the 3 month mark. Let me know if there's anything else that anyone needs. Ttyl!

Wow, this was very informative. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm awaiting confirmation on my surgery date in May which was her first available. My dilemma was going alone or paying for someone to come with me. Your review makes me feel very comfortable with going alone and that will save me money as well. I had a tummy tuck in 2011 and lipo done in 2012 with Dr. Christopher Saunders in Delaware, so this will be my first time going to the Dominican Republic for surgery. I'm looking to have lipo done again to arms, back, stomach and flanks with a BBL. I'm familiar with the pain, swelling and healing time associated with these surgeries (except BBL)so I feel pretty confident that I should be able to manage with the staff available. I just don't know what to expect with the BBL. Can you sit on your butt? Does it hurt to sit on your butt? How many days did you stay? I'm going to mimic your entire layout for my surgery, LOL!! Thanks again

Hey gurly I hve a ? U had a Tt n 2011 why do u need lipo again please don't tell mee I'm goin to hve to do this lipo n a year

Hello. Here is the thing I find with TT done here in the states (not sure if it's the same in DR). My surgeon told me before the tummy tuck the areas I would see the difference in. With a tummy tuck they only focus on that core area meaning they lipo just your stomach and maybe about 25-30% of your sides (not much). They make your stomach look good that's all. Now my problem was I worked out and I looked fab immediately after my tummy tuck but I had this stubborn roll in my back that I hated. My surgeon said that most women come back after a tummy tuck for a touch-up to hit the areas that are not included in the tummy tuck. So I waited about a year and half before I decided to do it just to the stubborn areas and to give my tummy tuck a little more definition. You may not have to depending on how your body is before the tummy tuck. I'm the blame for my lipo in 2012 not being a success because after it was done I looked fab, however, I did not exercise or change my diet and you HAVE to do that in order to maintain it or you will get that fat back.

Hi! Did you get the May confirmation yet? I didn't sit on my butt until the 3 wk mark. It was very uncomfortable to do so before then for more than like 2 or 3 mins. It didn't hurt or anything but it felt numb if I sat longer than that. It was the same feeling like if your foot feel asleep...just uncomfortable not painful. Now when it came to hips, even if I lightly brushed against them or tried to lay on my side, I literally jumped in pain...the hips were very sensitive for me. I don't know why but they were and it was about 1.5 before I could lay on the sides without too much discomfort. To this day I still don't lay on my back too long just because it feels funny. Let me know if you need anything else
