Had my surgery

Hello everyone, so I had my surgery as planned on the 7 th of January. I had tt, lipo, bbl, ba with lift. I arrived the day before but the recovery house I was staying at didnot take me to get the labs done for some reason, instead they took me straight to the recovery house. I first was booked with armonia but later down the road saw a video of " my home recovery house" and decided to switch there, it had hospital beds and it looked new and clean. I arrived to " my home" and was disappointed in the single room they gave me, it was located in the basement with no windows, and just didnot feel very good. The next day I was taken to cipla to do my labs and to meet dr.duran. Her office was full of people, I waited and after some time was given directions to where to go and what to do as far as labs, but let me tell you, language barrier has been very difficult for me, I had a very good surgery buddy and she ended up staying at a different recovery house because a week before we came, the owner of " my home" told her she couldnot bring her husband, and I already payed in full for my stay and wanted to give that recovery house a chance, even tho they really were messing up our plans, and I felt like it was unfair to both of me and my buddy.My surgery buddy had a helper from the recovery house she was staying in, that also helped me out too.Labs and cardio was done, my hero was 14, then a long wait, I ended up getting my surgery that day at around 7 pm and was out of the surgery at 12.30 am, I was 5 th person to get surgery that day. I was awake during surgery and felt a lot of pain, lipo was the worst, I kept on telling them I am up but nothing. I was in a lot of pain and discomfort, puking, and felt terrible for at least 6 days, day 7 is when I felt a lot better. I am now 9 days post op, feel ok, just discomfort.iended up switching recovery houses to armonia, because " my home" didnot give me sufficient care, everyone was nice but I didnot feel like I was in good hands, food served there wasnot what post op patients should of been eating. I love armonia, their care and post op etiquette is very good and professional.

Giiirl, you basically told my exact story, except my recovery house wasnt so bad that i had to leave...i liked the staff and it was only about 6 of us there. The problem was that there were no hospital beds. Meals weren't designed for post op patients..I stayed at the Luzury Recovery House.

apparently there is more than one Luzury recovery house. the one i stayed ay was ran by a lady names Ruth and her daughters. very nice people. They attempted to keep you comfortable...but hospital beds would have been better.

Hi everyone, was thinking about adding a nose job with contreras while I am down in dr, I am not sure , just think that my nose looks wide and assimitrical, but it is a big risk so need honest opinions here , what do you think? To get a nose job or not? Do I need it? Would I benefit from it?

I was wondering the same thing about tipping. I'm at the RH now and have 5 girls who help but not sure how much to tip or if I should. Did you end up tipping? I'm leaving in 2 days.
