I'm just happy I'm alive...#YilyUnprofessionalDeLosSantos

$3,450
So...the journey was painful. I was blessed to have my parents who cared for me. I am happy to be home and I am recovering well..Even lost 10 pounds. The mornings are the worse.

However, Yily was so unprofessional....it was disgusting.

Advice to all:
There are so many doctors in DR that I way more patients than Yily and actually look after their patients such as Cabral so consider those before risking your life with someone you can't communicate with because they're either too busy or just have a bad aura.

I don't even know how much was taken out of me like in numbers because when I asked I was grilled and yelled at...you know I wasn't nice either after that.

People say they see a different but imagine how I feel being in a foreign country and scared not having the sincere support of my doctor...I'm just happy I'm alive right now.

Did she do the job? I think she did a lot...I went to her overweight, with loose skin due to weight loss and wanted no tummy tuck. The reason I have her a low score was because of her professionalism and because I still don't know how fat was taken out, my charts didn't say, the post op doc Cedeno didn't know, she was rude when I asked, I never saw her in the operations room and KNOW THE PROCEDURE started without her..look, I'm happy I'm alive lets just put it like that :-)

I'm sorry to hear how hard your surgery was. How scary to ask for details of your surgery and get yelled out. Wow. I hope that you're feeling a little better by now. I can't give any medical advice, I'm another woman on the site, but you mentioned that your charts didn't detail how much fat was removed. Was there an Operative Report in the charts? That's where the amount was listed for my surgery. The surgeon who operated on me took out way more than I needed or was appropriate for my body. Did you end up getting liposuction in all of those areas, or fat transfer?
I got lipo done, no fat transfer. On the form that you mentioned I saw nothing about how much was taken out. I got lipo done in all those areas but she only did a little arm and inner thigh because my hemoglobin was low....I'm not very satisfied with my abs but I'm just going to try to live a healthy lifestyle and count my blessings...cipla didn't have a good rep during the month of June and I didn't get an infection so I'm content.
You have a great attitude. Living a healthy lifestyle and counting your blessings sounds like a great take away after your experience. I read about the problems with cipla in June, so you are very lucky. I wish you all the best.
Damn luv, im sorry u went through that kind of nonsense.....I know it doesnt change the experience for u but on a lighter note u look great...the waist looks curvy and smaller....how do u feel bout ur results?
wow thats terrible....was going witht he hype like yayyy then.... =\
Wow! You look amazing. I'm sorry to hear about you horrible experience.
I'm beginning to understand she did the job but the experience could have been better. I'm so glad you shared your experience!
