BBL with Dowbak

7 weeks until my BBL w/ lipo with Dowbak. Feeling very nervous! Any advise on what I need to start buying now to prepare for my June 19th date? I’ve heard I should be taking vitamins, and scheduling pre op appts. I’m afraid that there are things I should be doing to prepare but am not. Please advise!

Yipsy is my coordinator, I just wish they would keep more informed about the pre care

Flavia is my coordinator. She’s quick to text back for somethings, but she isn’t consistent. I’ve been trying to find out if Dowbak will sign FMLA (medical leave) paperwork for my job, but she hasn’t replied

Dowbak does sign FMLA paperwork :) 100% sure she does, not sure if you follow new life plastic surgery on Instagram but they have her live often and she answers a lot of questions and she answered that question in particular
April 29, 2019
I’m just gonna keep texting g and calling until she answers! Soo frustrating
May 12, 2019
Hey... have you heard from your coordinator? And have you started taking any supplements?
April 28, 2019
Hey doll! I have pictures on my page of the supplements you’re suppose to take. Take those 3xs a day depending on your hemo levels
April 29, 2019
Ohh.. thanks. I haven’t had blood work yet. Should I wait to ha e the labs back before I start the supplements.
April 29, 2019
No problem. Take them at least 2 months prior to your date
May 12, 2019
So, I had my bloodwork done and hgb is 11.5, which is the lower end of normal. Do you think that will be a problem? I did buy the supplements you suggested.
May 12, 2019
The required hgb is 11.5 so that’s good.Try to bring it up higher. Try eating beets and or liver. That will boost it even higher
May 30, 2019
You have to bring up over 13, also take B12 & multiple B..can buy @ Wal-Mart..you need a Ptt...blood test...

Also back strap molasses is good for iron.
April 28, 2019
Also add vitamin c and folic acid. Take the supplements with orange juice for best absorption
April 29, 2019
So I’m gonna stop at the pharmacy today and pick up the vitamins. I didn’t realize your surgery is tomorrow? Good luck with everything... it’ll be perfect... and please keep posing!! What RH are u staying at?

Yes love thank you! Dolls Recovery Getaway

How did you put your deposit down? Did you fill out that credit card form via email or another way?
May 2, 2019
I gave her my credit card info over the phone and she emailed me a receipt filled out by her.
May 3, 2019
Pls post your after pictures after your surgery! I’m highly considering going to her for my bbl, but hesitant because I live far :/ so I’m trying to see how well her work is

26 days until my BBL & Lipo with Dowback and I till can’t believe this is happening! I’ve started my supplements but is anyone else finding it hard to drink the Floradix liquid? The taste is unbearable! Any suggestions on how to tolerate? Anyway... I haven’t done much shopping for the supplies I need because it’s overwhelming! I don’t want to buy a bunch of unnecessary things. I’m also going to schedule by bloodwork this week. Anyone here staying at Plush Recovery? I’m so nervous about that because I read a bad review about their house now I’m scared ????.

If you haven’t secured a deposit... I would change it to Beauti Rest RH... all of Dowback and Harry Dolls stay there. Around the clock CNA,s and nurses to assist you. Plus your deposit for them is good for a year. Always have a cup of orange juice for the after taste of the liquid iron. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.
May 28, 2019
Thank u.... the orange juice makes tolerable for sure. And unfortunately I already gave them a $250 Deposit. I was so confused and didn’t know who to go with! I just hope it’s not completely horrible!

I think I’m regretting choosing Dowbak.

AnxiousExcited
I’m soooo scared!!! Has anyone read the review posted by United70? I wish I hadn’t because now I’m terrified!!! Rumor is that Dowbak overschedules herself (10-12) surgeries a day then has other dr’s or students perform the procedures under the impression that she did it! Please read United70’s review! I don’t know what to do... my surgery is in 11 days and no one answers my calls, texts or emails to confirm that they received my labs. I wish I could get my money back and start all over with another dr.???? I’m soo discouraged and beginning to feel like getting this surgery was a bad idea.

I had surgery with Dr Dowbak and her work is impeccable! She personally comes to your room after you wake up from recovery and brings you flowers! She has awesome bedside manner and is absolutely nothing but professional and a perfectionist. I don’t know about that person’s experience... but that was not my experience at all!
June 24, 2019
Did u go thru with the surgery with Dr. Dowback?
June 24, 2019
Yes! I am over a year post op and my results are still amazing.
June 24, 2019
I did! I’m 5 days post op and currently on the airplane back home! I would agree with some of the negative comments about Dowbak’s staff and the way they make you feel like you’re on a conveyer belt. However, I would still recommend Dowbak to anyone. I can’t really see my results yet because of he swelling, but I’m just gonna trust the process!
June 24, 2019
Thanks for responding and I wish u happy healing. Want to schedule my bbl with dr dowbak but I'm not so sure about him being the one to actually perform my surgery since people are saying that he let's students do some of them. Pls help. I'm counting on your opinion to help me decide. I'm 5'6 174 lbs hoping to lose about 10 pounds before surgery. Most of my fat is in my tummy so I need a doctor who will do aggressive lipo to get my stomach snatched. Your feedback is important. And pls post some pictures so we can admire your new body. Thanks
July 1, 2019
You may not know most of the Dr are heavily overscheduled....I know most peoe don't say it in the3 reviews....but most of the surgeons do not own the clinics they work in. I've heard he does great work.....but always follow your first mind....if you go take all medical stuff with you....refax everything via a UPS store...attach a message requesting a call back
July 3, 2019
How do I see that review
July 4, 2019
Follow your first mind
