Perfect503 I did complain you were just not there. The other women were there. I was paranoid that something would happen to me had I spoken up to her and her staff about my experience. It is a 3 rd world country were 1 dollar means a lot to people. Even the recovery house is scared of Yily. Just because you had a less invasive procedure and were up and out doesn't give you the right to say what happened to us isn't true. You were asleep the whole procedure. I was there when you woke remember.

Lol this is turning into some he say she say [RS bleep] that ain't worth nothing you never mentioned any of these things I'm done talking about it cause I look great bye cin40818 hope everything goes well and ms cotton is doing just fine after a brief hospital stay she still is not blaming the doctor no reply is needed to this please because starting to work my damn nerves. Last but not least ladies remember these complications could happen with any doctor anywhere but when you take the cheap way out which we all are doing going out of the country because its much cheaper before and after care should be top dollar don't cheat yourself treat yourself

The infections have nothing to do with the spa. And yes Yily explained that she wont be there when You had a shitty experience with them we know. I have my complaints about them but for the most part they tried to be very caring and helpful. I'm surprise you have no complaints when they put you in the wrong faja and also fainted in their office.

You look great and hope you continue to heal. May I ask a question.. When you sent Yily your deposit through Chase Bank did you require her address? My bank which is also Chase keeps insisting that I get her address/bank address in order to complete the trf. I'm so frustrated at this point. Did she provide you with her address/bank address?

May 4, 2013
Sam. I went to a chase bank & they didn't need an address just her full name & account number she gave you. Go to a different chase or ask for manager because that don't sound right. Good luck. I made 3 separate payments that was.

I'm concerned about the infections and don't feel comfortable speculating about the cause. It would be great to hear from the women who had infections. As of yesterday there was One Yily patient who is not pleased w/her belly button but not infected. One gurl from Duran who is not happy with her surgery b/c of complications and One gurl from Almonte who is not happy with her surgery b/c of complications.

the answer its easy, as i told , that cipla clinic its like a walmart. they dont have enoght surgery rooms, and they dont take the time to sterilize them, they also dont have a thing called sterilized continuing link, i mean, you get from the street to the surgery room without any control. and just to wash your hands and give the patient medications its not the way. im so sorry about all problems that are having that problem. by the way i dont know why you are staying at JM spa. that doesnt have the minimum health requirements to allow patients be healed there. They dont have the infraestructure to sterilize the areas.

Cipla is nothing Walmart lol I was not sleep whn I went to or nd I watched them take out the sterile instruments right in front of me. There r some things tht r way diff from America but I gss it's part of the territory, the nurses use gloves. Whn thy changed my faja thy ddnt. Whn thy got to where I had bodily fluids were my drain is thy did. There r is soap in the bathrooms in the rooms here or the bathroom in hallway. Downstairs the toilet had no toilet seat. At la sirena(like Walmart) there ws no toilet seat. In the rooms there r toilet seats tho. It's diff here from america but it's nothing I wld b scared of.

Dr Alonso, where would you suggest that women go to stay after a surgical procedure?
A
May 5, 2013
hello dlrshaze, what i suggest is: 1. Get a hotel room, a clean one (never a recovery house or how they call it) I offer my patients 5 stars hotels from 76 usd including taxes just to place an example here. so you can get good hotels arent expensive. but obviously that are prices for my patients if not you are paying 40% more. 2.hire a nurse, dont get the nurse services from cipla (50 usd a day just for 1 injection) hire one that stay with you 24 hours in your room, to help you with everything i know a lot of nurses, you can get for the same price (50 usd) a nurse 24 hours with you instead a 5 minutes visit just for 1 injection. 3. Dont get medicines from Cipla, you can get it from any Pharmacy, i recomend Farmax , Or Carol Pharmacys. important information about medicines in DR, most of the medications are Fake/fase, so only buy Known Brands. examples Zitromax Pfizer for (Azitromicin). Its common and have been reported thousands of times that medicines in DR are false, so if you can bring it from your country it would the best. Its well known by dominicans those facts.

May 5, 2013
Dr Alonso, can you please send me a list of recommended hotels in the area that are close to CIPLA and where/how I can obtain a nurse? Are these medical/registered nurses or caretakers you are referring to? I'll bring my meds with me from the US.Thanks!

yes she is. I love her. I spoke to her this morning about the other girls. She was like "they come and they go so quick" people are not taking the proper time to heal and just up and leaving right after surgery. UUHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

May 4, 2013
Dr Yily is not the best. I'm one of the ladies who got an infection and yes I followed the little instructions they provided after my tummy tuck. I will be providing a full disclosure of my experience but I've been busy worrying about what's going to happen with this infection and the stitches that are showing but shouldn't. You all should think twice about her because she is over extending herself and is having the assistants do part of the surgery because she is too tired to finish. I was up during the whole procedure and she left and never came back so the assistants had to finish me after I trusted her to do my surgery.

When I had my breast reduction by the Head of Plastic Surgery at George Washington University Hospital he had an assistant who helped to stitch up one of my breast... This is common b/c w/o the students working in a operating room with another doctor they are not allowed to graduate and become a doctor... I know Yily & Duran trained under Cabral & had to assist until they got enough experience to go to the next level. I was under anesthesia when this was happening I can attest to this b/c I was introduced to the assistant before the sx and after the surgery I can see the stitches are different.. Stitches are a sx signature.. My breast looked the same just the stitch was different on one, they were both even and have a ski slope Its common to have assistant participate in sx in the US and there is not one surgeon that has not had to have that experience in the US in order to get their license... And during epidural's the patient is numb from the waist down and a lot of times they are awake the entire procedure.. (when you have a baby) This is my experience with US PS. I'm just giving this information so others who have not experience ps understand that the two things I spoken about are what is common practice in the US. I would suggest anyone reading this post investigate the board certified ps dr in the us and you will find that each one of them worked under another doctor before being on their own, and you can look at any you tube or discovery to see surgery done in the US fully awake under epidural... Whether women go to Yily or not this should be expected.. The doctors need assistance however IF YOU DO NOT FEEL comfortable with your Doctor having anyone work your body but them, please voice this. I didn't care b/c I trusted all my PS... Thanks for sharing this b/c women need to know the facts US vs DR doctors standards .

MT7 everyone will not have the same experience as we know and its very unfortunate this happened and once Cin4 get a lil more recovered she will let us know what steps were taken to correct these issues, whether she was able to see Yily about this, what kind of infection, the location of the infection, the medication given, the care given, etc.... Its so very important so other women can make a informed decision on what doctor, what clinic, what RH they will use or if they will even go to DR... Get Well, your in pain just recover ad know RS members care for you.

May 4, 2013
yes you are correct; epidural only numb the pain but you are wide awake, and the dr wants u to be awake.. i'm speaking from c-section sx experience.. when they cut me open, i felt all the movements but i didnt feel any pain and wa-lah>> baby's delivered.

May 4, 2013

What? She left in the middle of surgery?
L
May 4, 2013
You all can try and justify the little that I've written to make yourselves feel better about your decision to go. What i experienced is not common practice. a doctor doesn't leave the assistants to do a whole procedure without supervising. As a result one breast is bigger than the other. During surgery one guy told the other that the breast was bigger and they said well "leave it like that" so now I have to see a surgeon here in the US. The whole room was talking a world of [RS bleep] and making fun about Yily. Saying oh I'm going to lunch, but then I'm going to disappear and not return. I did not pay her for someone else to work on me and now have to suffer the consequences. I would recommend you use a different doctor in DR , she is solely about the money
L
May 4, 2013
You will never see Yily again unless you run into her in the hallways. You will not see Yira , Teresa or the assisting Doctor for follow up care. And her experience is limited. she clogged by drain, failed to see that my friend needed a blood transfusion and was very pale and week so now she is in the hospital.

I don't ave fevers nor chills. My belly button is infected. Yes the are feels warm to the touch. Please see your doctor ASAP.
