Mommy Makeover: Stories

Hi everyone! I'm not new to realself but im finally going to be able to get my procedures so i decided its time to start my review. Ok so I am a30 almost 31 yr old mother of two deperately in needof some work lol. Being a mother is a true blessing and gift! Now with that said pregnancy however was NOT kind to my body. A little background, durring my first pregnancy i gained 70pounds and breast fed, and during my second pregnancy i gained 50pounds and also breast fed. This flucuation in weight has left my belly littered with stretch mark and LOTS of loose flabby skin. As for my breast, i never really ever had much tobegin with ( a small b at best) are now nowlook like two deflated balloons hanging from my chest :( . I have tried to get this done in the past but financially something always comes up to prevent it from becomming reality. so now after a lot searching and checking out your reviews here, I have decided to go with Dr. Walkiris Robles in the Dominican Republic. From the pictures I have seen, She does beautiful work, and with her prices, I can finally make my dream a reality. I have requested a quote for tummy tuck and breast implants, and i recieved one yesterday for tummy tuck and lipo to waist and flanks but it didn't say anything about the breast implants. So I have emailed her assistant to clearify if they were included also or if she for got about them. I haven't heard back yet, but hopefully i will soon. Im so anxious to start my journey!!

Ok, so I recieved an email from Laura, Dr. Robles assistant, with my final quote. My quote was 5800.00 for tummy tuck, breast implants and lipo to waistand flanks. Im very pleased with my quote and can't wait to go!!!. I did ask Laura also how to go about scheduling and I guess i have to purchase my tickets and send a copy to her to book. Also Dr. Robles has requested i get medical clearance from my cardiologist with an echocardiogram prior to scheduling. Ok so the reasoning for that is because 10 years ago I had to have open heart surgery to remove a non cancerous tumor from my heart. I am currently healthy and have not any issues since so I don't see why there should be any issues, however I do have to admit I am quite anxious to get taht medical clearance so I can e on my way! My appt with the cardiologist is on the 21st of this month so hopefully all goes well! I'll update then to let you know.

OK sorry it's been so long since my last post. Unfortunately my husband lost his job so we have been dealing with all the stress that goes along with that. However he had a promising interview today. (Fingers crossed!) Now as for me I had my echo and eight with the cardiologist and everything was normal! So I have emailed copies to Laura. I will be going to apply for a passport this week and then will purchase my tickets. I'm planning on going in mid July,and would love to know if anyone else is also going at that time. Anyway that's about all for now but I'll update again soon.

Hi ladies Happy Valentine's Day! So I just emailed Laura to book my flight for July 8, 2013. I'm not sure how many days I have to stay so I also asked Laura when I should schedule My flight back home. I originally wanted to go earlier but I just found out my sister will be traveling with me! I'm so happy because I honestly was pretty terrified of going alone. So I am now ready to start packing things and purchasing things for my trip. If any of you ladies who have already gone could please give me a list of. Must haves I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance for any advice you have to offer. Thats about all for now but I'll update soon!

OK so my flight is booked! I will be in the DR from July 8th to 12th. Wow it's official now, I'm so excited. It's still 5 months away so it doesn't quite feel real yet LOL... but on the bright side this gives me plenty of time to prepare, pack, follow the posts of all the other Team Robles! So ladies I have a few questions I was hoping you could help me with ....

1. Can we use US dollars while we are there or do I need exchange my money?

2. What do you ladies recommend that I make sure to pack besides the list of items Laura the assistant gave?

3. And finally how much extra money do you recommend for things over and above my quote?

Thank you so much in advance for you advice ladies! And I'll post again soon.

Hi everyone! Haven't updated in a while. My surgery isn't until July 9th so I haven't had much going on. I have been faithfully taking all the vitamins recommended by Dr. Robles, eating clean and trying to get those stubborn 10 pounds off LOL. I just can't wait to have my surgery si I can look in the mirror without getting depressed. I have been follow the reviews of many women going to Dr. Robles and you all look amazing and that makes me excited for my day! However I must admit I am supper nervous. There have also been some not do good things reported by some women. I still feel confident that I'll get the results I want from Dr. Robles Im just afraid of the after care from nurses and recovery house. Also (and I recently had a nightmare about this) I am most afraid of waking during my surgery and feeling pain. Another RS member posted about this and it really freaks me out... :( For now everything is still a go for me. I have been taking note of all the supplies, clothing,etc that all of the ladies before me have recommended and getting my shopping list ready! OK Ladies happy healing to those who have already gone and good luck to those who are about to go!! I'll update again soon.
