Boy oh boy has it been rough. But feeling slightly better. I can get up with less pain. There's a few things I want to stress ladies, please bring medicine to help you with going to the bathroom #2. It'll make your life so much easier.
I am starting my massages today, & I'm petrified. But I feel so huge. Everyone says it will help, but I just feel like a whale.
I'm going to post a few pictures of the New Life Recovery home.
Also, I'm looking for masseuses in Miami, once I go home. Anyone have any suggestions?

2 days post surgery.
Boy oh boy do I have so much to share.. Where do I begin. Okay so I wasn't organized & did everything last minute but My driver Alex was amazing. To be honest, if it wasn't for him -- I would've turned around & went home. He speaks fluent English since he moved back to the states 2 years ago, knows the cheapest pharmacies, & knows most hospitals that you need to go to. Bless him. His car has AC & it's a Chevy. I trusted him with my money also, & he brought it back to me not a dollar short. Really great man. His cousin is a phenomenal nurse. She stayed with me until I was released. If you need her, mention it to him. She charges 35$ a day, but she does everything, & she cooks great!

Last minute, I decided to go look at New life recovery home. It's a few blocks away from the hospital. There weren't any reviews, so I asked Alex to call them for me & see if we can go over there. We got there & there was only one girl staying there since everyone else had been released. She was from Boston, so I asked her as many questions as I could. The recovery home is in a brand new condominium building, marble floors, wrap around balcony & have super comfy hospital beds. The nurses are very sweet & every bed has a bell which you press at any time. It's a little pricey but it's so worth it. You have brand new air conditioners in every room, & the food is great. They feed you very well & if you're still hungry they don't mind feeding you. Have a washer & dryer also. The chef is here 24/7. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow. After reading about so many horrifying stories, I was happy to end up in a beautiful place. If any of you ladies decide to stay there, let me know or just mention Delia sent you. & they'll hook up. Right now there's only me & another girl here. I guess they're not busy because they're new.
Anyway back to my surgery. I met Duran the day of my surgery, she is such a good looking woman! Very sweet. I had Alex come with me so he can translate & make sure no one was ripping me off. (I later gave him extra money just for tending to me & just looking out since everyone in DR tries to get in over you) I told her I didn't want a very stripper like body & I was very worried about having a ripples on my stomach. I didn't want my stomach to be a give away on me having surgery. After she marked me up, I went downstairs & they put in a room. I paid my money & then they put the socks on & changed me into a hospital gown. Also gave me that blue pill. After that a few minutes later they put me on a stretcher & took me into the operating room. It wasn't as bad as I read on here. Before I knew it, they put the IV in & woke up in a different room in the most excruciating pain EVER.
I don't have any kids & this was my first big surgery. I expected pain, but not pain like this. Most women had drains with them, but I wasn't big enough so I was just leaking out on to the bed. It was terrifying. Absolutely horrible. I had this wrap thing on, & then the next morning the nurses came on to put on my faja & change my bed because I was laying in a pool of blood & fluids. I was so cold because my iron was so low from losing blood. Anyway, at 6 am the nurses came in & said I have to get up to put on the faja. They picked me up so quick or maybe it was the excruciating pain, but I was so dizzy & started seeing black holes. As I was being held up by my nurse the Cipla nurses were putting the faja on, & I ended up losing conscience. I fainted. Then my nurse grabbed two cotton balls of alcohol & put it against my nose. I started to regain conscience & they splashed me with ice cold water. Finally the nurses changed my sheets (even though I asked them yeaterday because I was already covered & they lied & told me they'd come at 12am) anyway, when they finally let me lay down, I was in so much pain, & so sore. Because I passed out, they told me I need a blood transfusion & that I have to have these vitamins put in me (through the IV) I knew at that point I had to so whatever to get out of the Cipla hospital. The nurses there are Awful. Anyway, a few hours later my arm that had the IV in went numb & I started to get crazy pains in. I called Duran & she said see if they'll put the IV in another arm because my arm had
Too much fluid put in it. I should've just thugged it out. Two nurses came back in & took out my IV. The other nurse put the rubber thing around my arm to find my vien.. & that's when all hell broke loose. I don't think this nurse knew was she was doing but she stuck the needle in my arm & started digging into my vein. I started to scream at the top of my lugs to stop & to not touch me. It was terrifying. Right then I knew I had to avoid this blood transfusion & to get out as soon as possible. Bad enough I was in so much pain from the surgery but this was something else. The nurses left, & I tried to rest but I was in so much pain. I took in a few more hours of vitamins when a nurse came in & said, if want to be discharged you have to get up. As much pain as I was in, I knew I had to get up. No way I was staying in the place for another day. Plus the nurses knew how I felt about their awful service so they would've made my life hell. As weak as I was, I got up. Then they told me I had to walk to show
I'm okay. I won't lie, I thought I was screwed. I found every last energy to walk to the reception desk so they can see that I'm up. Once I did that I rushed back to sit because I was so weak. The wheelchair came & I finally smiled for the first time. Sitting in that thing was so painful. The first 2 days, was just awful. My ass & my hips along with my back & lower stomach felt like I got hit by an 18 wheeler.
After I came to the recovery home, I decided I was going to sleep on my stomach because my ass & hips were killing me. Although I got more sleep then usual (woke up every few hours & my neck was killing me next morning) .. It wasn't a smart idea. I woke up with my face so swollen since it was down that I couldn't see. My eyes were swollen shut & I started to freak out. I asked the nurse to bring me tea & cotton balls, & quickly soaked my eyes with it. Took my swelling down. Since I don't have a drain, I have to get this shot for 5 days in my arm that is very painful. It's for blood clotting. I'm waking to the bathroom with less pain, but the pain is definitely still there. My ball, my stomach kill me.
At this point, I'm worried about going #2. Because my stool has been very solid & big that sometimes it would rip my a-hole. So I'm worried. I have to go see Duran tomorrow & she has to take my faja off :( I'm so scared of the pain.
As far as I go, me coming here by myself, without speaking any Spanish & going through with all this.. Nah. If I knew what I know now, I would've never done it. Do I regret it? No. It's definitely an experience but the pain is UNREAL. & everyone told me to bring meds from US but scared to mix antibiotics. I don't want to mix & kill myself. I didn't go through all that just to go out like this lol. Anyway, I'll try to upload pictures of the recovery house tomorrow. xo.
Ps. That picture I uploaded was about an hour after I woke up.

STILL NERVOUS.
I couldn't find anyone to prescribe me pain medicine before my trip, totally freaking out. received majority of my stuff for the surgery. STILL haven't booked a RH, but I'm thinking of booking an RH for the first 4 days, then just get an APT. I read a review on here that the first 3 days are brutal, along with the massages. I don't take pain well. I hope I can get pain medicine in DR :(
As far as the nurse & masseuse go, I will send you guys numbers once I'm home. I'm going to meet with a few before & see who I like.
I'm super nervous about what I will look like after because I don't want a ripple type of stomach. I've seen a lot of girls with these messed up stomachs or belly buttons. I'm not very thick I just have fat in places I don't like. I hope It doesn't completely mess me up :(
I don't want the big stripper booty either, What i want is a small waist & a good proportion ass. Not super huge & not little either. Kind of like a beyonce ass lol. PS. Still haven't found any RH, everyone seems so shady. I think I might just buy a little box & just lock it up myself.
not going to lie, reading some of these reviews about going through it, does make me have second thoughts. But I'm still going to go through with it.
