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!!

Well I dont have an exact date yet, but I was hoping for June. I still have to see my cardiologist on the 21st of this month for medical clearance, so I don't want to purchase a ticket until thats taken care of but (fingers crossed) I don't anticipate any problem there. I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I have a date picked out! And it would be awsome to have a buddy there!!

I am so EXCITED...hubby and I talked this morning and he's kinda getting the idea that DR is a GOOD opt for the surgery!

I'm emailing with Dr. Robles and I'm having TT Breast lift and augmentation and lipo! Hopefully May or June! Trying to lose all the weight Im going to before the big day!

Wow, then we are having pretty much the same procedures. I am in brooksville which is just north of Tampa. So I have to ask are you nervous about going outside of the country? I know I am. And the funny part is that its mostly because I'm afraid of navigating through the airports and missing a flight LOL... I have flown before but I was like 12. I'm hoping my sister will be able to go with me.

Ok, so I recieved an email from Laura, Dr. Robles...

nbrksvllJanuary 5, 2013

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....

nbrksvllFebruary 8, 2013

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.

So sorry your husband lost his job. Hopefully he will gain employment very soon. You received a great quote! If my children were older, I probably would consider traveling to save money for this Makeover. I have been quoted 12,500 here in the states. I have been saving since last July. I am scheduled for September. Good luck to you!!

I'm in Dade city lol! Yes I'm very nervous! I have a consult in Wesley Chapel Wednesday. I'm an OR nurse and have been considering this for a long time. You can find bad surgeons and get infections here in the states too. But I just talked to a CRNA who said their anesthesia practices are like 6 years old! Very scary....I'm really thinking of staying here now :/

nbrksvll

February 18, 2013

Sorry for the late response some how I missed your post :/ Anyway I didn't realize that about their anesthesia practices. I'll do some researching about it. I am nervous but still feel confident with my decision to go with Dr. Robles based on the great reviews on her here. The other thing I really liked is that she seems genuinely concerned for my health first as she made my go through a whole series of tests before she would agree to doing my procedures. I had to have open heart surgery 10 years ago, but all is well now and I received medical clearance from my cardiologist! But I understand being nervous it's a big decision!
