I am a 34 yr old mother of three whose had 3 cesareans. I can't remember ever having a flat belly. Its something I have always wanted. Right now I'm at a serious crossroad in my life and I want to do this surgery for ME! I am content with my job and happy with my children but not happy with my body so I see no better time then now to make me happy. My friend and I both will be going to the Dominican Republic to see Dr Lluberes. I did alot of research and came to choice him because I saw his work and I was happy with what I saw. I was more impressed when he came to NY and I met him. He is very caring and sullins to answer all your questions. I will post pics as soon as I can.

Ok guys I'm 14 days away. Getting a little anxious. I started packing already and thinking of little things that I may need. Anyone have any suggestions on must haves? I can't wait to get on that plane but I am going to miss my kids terribly. This will be the longest I have ever been away from my baby I want to cry just thinking about leaving him.

Hey ladies! I'm super excited today! Me and my friend landed in DR a few hours ago. Before my flight I received a call frm my doc saying that he will be able to do my surgery today. As soon as we landed we were picked up by his driver and taken straight to his clinic. We did our blood work and saw the cardiologist so far I'm cleared to go. My friend will be going tomorrow as scheduled. I will keep you guys updated. I added some pics of me in my gown excited as hell! Lol

So today is day 3po. I was a little out of it for the past few days sleeping off and on. Some pain but not more than I can handle. The staff in the clinic was great very attentive. Me and my friend were moved to yhe recovery house today. Its a bigger room and very comfortable bed. The staff here is so kind they are making me eat. For some reason I don't have an appetite at all. I am really impressed with my body so far. I will add more pics. Anyone having surgery this week good luck its a little pain but remember pain is beauty lol.

Great review?

My rating:

I highly recommend Dr Lluberes. He is willing to answer all your questions and isn't going to advise you to get things you don't need just to get your money. The staff here is great its like one big happy family.

Omg girl you look Amazing so far Im looking to go to DR as well but with Dr Yily wht RH are you staying at? Our before bodies are almost identical! So Im praying for good results! Did you get your back lipo as well and if so please post pics.I was worried getting a bbl ,tt , and breast reduction n lift would be to much at once but you seem to be ok. I too had 3 c-secs is the pain the same??? I knw I have soooo many ????? Happy healing and Im praying for you God bless

Sorry I took so long to respond i've been resting and off the site for awhile. I am staying at aladino it like a hotel apartment and we have three nurses who cook and take care of us.Yes I got my back lipo'd but with all the other surgeries which included him doing my arms he said it would be dangerous to do to take too much out because of all the blood loss. It looks good tho ill try to put up a pic tomorrow. The pain is similar to the c sections its just the swelling is painful and I think my arms hurt the most. Just prepare yourself to be uncomfortable. I just am having a hard time trying to fall asleep but I still say its worth it. A
