15 month after surgery.

WORTH IT$4,600
I gain 10 lb, but I still didnt have tummy!My tummy almost flat, especially when I am not sit. My scar still look ugly but its not about my doctor, Its about my skin type, because I have tendency to keloids. And its completely hide under panties. So its not bother me. Photos can tell everything with any words. So its my BB, side and front view.

You really look great,. When are you going back to Almonte ?
Thank you! I am not sure when I will come back, but I defiantly will do it! Its depend from money, free time and how far I finish my collage.
U look great. Scar lightened up well.
Hi, Im new here, and jusr read your profile. You look fantastic and now I am thinking about going to the Dominican Republic for my surgery. if I got it in my town it would cost a little over 20k. I would rather pay less and have better results like you did. I am about the same size as you were pre-op, so thank you very much!! you inspired me!
You look damn good.... trust me super nice!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS LOVE. IM TRYING TO SEE HER FOR THE SAME :)

Almost 6 month after surgery.

Nothing change after my last post. I still have the same measurements and weight. Just show you my photos. I have keloids on my scar, but it look not so bad and hiding under low panties. I knew that I have a risk to keloids so it wasnt big surprise for me, I was prepared for it. Maybe that why I am not so upset about it. And it still worth it! Even with these ugly scar my stomach look perfect!I am think I have the best result!

Great work!!! U look good mamas thx for the continual updates!!!!
Ty!
You look amazing!!! I spoke to Dra. ALMONTE this afternoon....and I am waiting for her quote ..... Where did you stay in SD?
TY a lot! Fatima are amazing women and a Doctor of course! I stay at Sorayas Relax Recovery. I like there almost everything-food was very good, just you need to tell them what you prefer to eat. Girls was very attentive, help me with everything. Place was pretty clean and comfortable. Just two things I didnt like. Was very noise, but DR are very noise place and the noise everywhere. And everyone speak just Spanish, and I didnt kow Spanish. Just Soraya (the owner) know a little bit English, but just a liiiiiiiittle bit. So I need cal to Lesley or Dra, tell them what I want and they enplane that the problem is
Thank you for your reply.... I did not find SORAYA RELAX RECOVERY on the Internet .... How did you find it? Additionally, how can I contact Leslie? Her phone number is (809) 829333.... But it doesn't seem working....
When I booked my surgery date, all-inclusive Lesley booked for me RH. I didnt know wich one before I go there. But, you can find it in Facebook, just use search and wright Relax Recovery there and you will find. I can give you a link on it in FB, but as I am from phone now it will be on mobile version. Check your private msgS. Lesley phone number is 829 333 9660, and Dra Almonte phone number is 809 685 4906
Oh, you are so kind! THANK YOU! I sent a FB message to Soraya....and I am waiting for her reply. Getting in touch with Leslie is a challenge...if I dial her number, my phone put the area code 809 automatically, making it 809-829 333 9660. ...which is not her number anymore...a man answers telling me I have the wrong number. Anyway, I hope I could get a reply to my emails that I sent to Dra. ALMONTE ... Please keep in touch with me! Thank you thank you!!!!
Lesley have other US number, but if you want to call her, she mast call you first. Thats why I didnt give you # because its not point try call her first. Try to call to Dra number if smth, or try to call Lesley from home number maybe it willt change 829 at 809. By the way she have instagram too if you have @lesleymariacabrera
THANK YOU my dear! Sorry for the tardy reply, I did not use realself.com lately! I was able to contact Lesley Maria and I also got a quote.
I am happy for you!!! Hope your results was the best!!!

Wow U r truly talented....Beautiful
Thank you a lot! Its really important to hear it!
Aww that's wonderful, I have a green thumb:-( but I love decorating and changing decor:-) Ty for your post and are def a happy doll. Hope for my sx to be as successful as yours:-)
Ty! I hope too! You wait too long to your dream come true! You deserve to get the best possible result!
Thank you. Fingers crossed:-) I will keep u posted. Keep me in your prayers.
I have a ? Sweetie when did all the fluid leave from ur body I'm 2 months now and my tummy isn't all the way flat and when did h stop wearing ur garment
I still have swelling at the tummy and lower back, especially at the evening. As I understand it can be 6 month and sometimes longer. I stop use garment at the night 2 month after, and 3 month after I stop use it at all. Only when I know that I will be active all day I still use waist chincher.
Does it feel numb? Know that you look great and have a flat tummy. What 2nd round r u planning to do?
Being crafty takes talent & patience
I love everything to do by hands! Difficult to find something what can I do with kids, because I am home stay mom with two:)
Understand! I'm currently hosting 2 teenage boys plus have a daughter of my own so I know it can be a bit nerve wrecking. I need an escape after caring for them, cooking and cleaning.... Your kids are young and enjoy as much from them now because if they are anything like my Queen, they will become independent and want to do for themselves. My 2 boys are leaving in June so I will get an escape soon but my lil one is def a piece of work.. Too grown for her age
That's great, I love it too but too much to do that I can start but then leave it 1/2 way so then I want to finish it in a timely manner that I over exhaust myself and get upset. Things like that take time and I like to see quick results. Hoping with my journey, I can listen and wait til the body is fully transformed. I guess my pace is always on the go go because everything falls on me me me
When I came home I do everything as before, just not hold them in my hands because they are 30 lb each:)
That's why I have to stay a couple of more days because I know that I am going to have to do things and probably more so I have to be rested and sure that it's doable.
For me it was hard to stay ten days there, I wish to go home 4 days after surgery:)
Yes, it take time to heal. My lower part of my belly is more swollen then other parts. My treatment help 70% to bring the swollen down. I only did 10 sessions. It take time and patience. You look great.
Ty! I hope the swelling go down at total soon, because I am almost 5 month after surgery
Thanks for the review! Looking good!!
