- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Update Nov 3rd
Hello everyone,
I am sorry for being MIA, I have been so busy and I had some trouble with my email notifications. My Realself email notifications were going to my spam box. I finally got the problem corrected and we are back in business. I am sorry that I have not posted pictures yet and unfortunately that might not be possible because I lost my phone and lost my before pictures. If I post pictures of right now, that might not give you a good idea of things but I do remember my measurements and I can tell you guys that! I lost 9 inch around my tummy and added 3 inches to my behind. I am very happy with my results, my scaring is light at the ends but in the middle is still pretty dark. If anyone has questions about my experience while over there or my recovery please do not hesitated to ask!!!

Sorry for the late update but I am back!!
I am sorry for the late update! My incision is still unhealed but I do feel better. A few things that one must keep in mind while traveling over there is that when you are taken to the recovery home -- it is in fact a home in a shady part of Santo Domingo where you will be sharing rooms with our patients. You will be in the hands of an elderly women who will help you heal and does the cooking as well. There is no medical assistance while you are in the recovery home except for the prior knowledge of the elderly women but she is not medical personnel. They will take you to the clinic if you are in need of it but other than that you are in the house 24 hours a day. The home has bars in the front for the safety of the patients which is thoughtful but still very scary!
I was quoted 6 massages but since I only stayed for 11 days they told me that I had to go to this other lady in the Bronx who would continue giving me massages but at my own expense. Also I came home with non dissolvable stitches that were taken out by the lady in the Bronx for free. While in DR. they push you to buy two garments and they are each 165 dollars, I believe... I only sow the doctor two times the morning of surgery when she marked me up and 6 days later when I went for my first massage.
Also - ---- some of the nurses were very nice but others were shockingly inappropriate and down right rude. While I was in the recovery home I spoke to some of the other girls and they all agreed with me about the nurses. All the nurses had problems getting blood from almost all the girls in the recovery home. One lady had her both arms completely bruised, they were unable to draw blood from me as well and even tried to get some from my foot. They even made me feel bad because they were unable to draw blood.
The tummy tuck results are noticeable but I am still swollen so I can not wait until I can work out again. Requirements after surgery are to sleep face up for 3 months!! Have to wear your garment 24 hours a day for at lease 1 month but most girls are wearing them for 3 months! You can not get into water or work out for 3 months. Also not bathing for a month - baby wiping daily (ewwww) I did not know that but I guess is a small price to pay. I have gotten obsess with wiping 3 times a day!! Any who -- if you guys have any questions I would be happy to answer anything.. Pictures are coming up but not at the moment -

Hello !! I am finally in DR My overall...
Hello !! I am finally in DR
My overall experience so far has been great -
People here are so very nice they will go out of their way to help you .. I have met Dr. Bello but have not been in for a full consult yet, that will be happening tomorrow morning before my surgery.
I am staying in the clinic overnight and will be heading to the recovery house tomorrow. At the clinic all rooms have there own personal bathrooms and air conditioning. And you can actually call out for food and they deliver to the clinic.!!
I got the results of my vitals and everything is a go for tomorrow......Wish me luck ! -
