Surgery with Walkiris Robles Tummy Tuck And Liposuction on the Waist, Arm Pits, and Back -Dominican Republic

Even before i had my second child i wanted to get my body back in shape, do to the fact that as a teen i was in great shape up to when i had my first child. I want to look as natural as possible. A nice little wist and no love handles. I already have the bottom so no worries on that side lol. As the day of my surgery gets closer i get more nervous, but with gods help i know ill be ok. Dr. Robles has all my trust she has done surgery on two of my family member and so far no complaints. Am in love with her work. Since am traveling with my son i have being planning and calculating everything, so far i have send a box of food and some of the thing i might need. Am staying at my aunts house which is really near to Dr. Robles clinic. I have a lot of tips from my cousins who already when by this hard procedure, hopefully i get to come back on the day plan because i work as a dean and an office administrator and i have not been working for a long time so i cant be absent. I plan to stay until April 6 that is exactly 12 days after my surgery. I have been buying most of the thing i need here which its more cheaper than over there.

So in two weeks ill be traveling augh i still need my passport hopefully I could get that done this week. As the day gets closer i get more and more nervous. Yesterday I had an anxiety attack (so I think lol) I just feel very nervous am a bit scare of going under the knife and something bad happens. I have two kids (4 years who is traveling with me and a 6 month old who am living behind!!) so I think a lot about them and what would happened if am not here. But enough with the bad toughs. I think I have everything I need I send a box of food and some of the things am going to use hopefully I didn't forget anything! I even bought the rosa mosqueta oil that a lot of people talk about. Am also drinking all my vitamins (complex c, iron, and frolic acid) I make sure I drink them every day.

Well I have been in the country since Saturday, it...

Well I have been in the country since Saturday, it has been an emotional roller coaster. I miss my baby and husband but it has been better. I came to the clinic on Sunday to do all my blood work and X-rays and they left me here. I have to say that I am nervouse but not in panic lol. Well yesterday all my labs and X-rays well perfect the cardiologist came in and did an EKG everything was fine. People are very nice and talkative here lol, early this morning I took a showe and wash my hair. Dr. Robles doesn't get her until 12 I think am the first one since I was the first to get here(I hope I am I want to get this over with lol) but yeah. Any eat nothing last time I ate was yesterday around 5pm so am starving and can't eat anything not even water :(. But over all everything is fine. I will keep writing as often as I can. Pray for me people I know am in gods hand and he will protect me I trust him :) amen!!

Today wasn't a good day well in the morning...

Today wasn't a good day well in the morning towards the end of the day I stared to feel better. This morning I felt nausea and dizzy thanks god I feel better ( had to throw up). At home I had to remove my girdle to remove what I had under it was killing me so Robles told me to put a t shirt I feel much better. I hate to get up and walk cause my back be killing me and I can barely breath. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

Hey!! It's been 6 weeks since my surgery and so...

Hey!! It's been 6 weeks since my surgery and so much has happened. Thank god I haven't had any complications so far but it has been stressful I can't lie. Everyone who is reading this because they are going to get surgery soon just a quick reminder that the surgery is not the biggest thing, what comes next is the most difficult part. Your body doesn't feel the same you feel restricted from so many things that at times it turns into sadness. But don't get me wrong it's worth it at least I can say that on my part. The first weeks your body is really sore and although you can see a difference you need to wait. For me the surgery was not painful at all I didn't feel any type of pain (everyone is different) the only pain I felt so far is from the massages (get ready lol) they are painful and expensive. Make sure you leave money at home because when you go back home you're going to need it. Well that's all for now I would love to answer any question :)

Although the the doctor I can now shower an afraid...

Although the the doctor I can now shower an afraid something would happen with my incision lol so am just going to wait one more week!! My job demands for me to run sometimes can't do tha eighter dancing lol and when am sitting down for a long time to stand up is a problem I also feel my skin stretching to the point I feel like is reaping apart!! The girdle is not bad (I use the FAJATE one) but to sleep in it is horrible!! Lol

From my end I recommend her 100% her and her team...

From my end I recommend her 100% her and her team are so professionals I trust her 100% go for it!! You won't regret it!!

That was just for the surgery my flight ticket was about $500 and I took money with me cause I travel with my son. But I alson send a box of food and thing that would need in advance. Also be prepare to spend money when you come back on massages and remember you will need to spend on girdles also and they are very expensive. The most expensive one I bought was for $184.

you look soo good. The more and more i see robles patients that look good the more my mind gets made up. Im kinda holding back because i dont want to go alone for one, and i'm just really nervous about going out of NY to have this done. Like everybody on here we just want to be safe and happy. But you look really good. I love her work!!

SulyRu 11 Apr 2013

Boopieboop 12 Apr 2013
Are you asking why they are only using Virginia's RH??? If so Laura said because of slot of complaints at the other recovery houses.
