51 Y/o Getting an Extended Tummy Tuck with Lipo and Breast Lift - Dominican Republic

I had initially wanted to stay at Virginias, then I heard about Paradise and that it was updated so I changed recovery houses. Turns out that that ended up in Virginias since Paradise was full and I am so very happy that I did. The care I received and saw the other girls received was fantastic. I was taken care of like I was family to all of them. All I had to worry about was recovery and that was enough cause recovery takes all of your energy. They were on top of everything else:
Meds - there were times I had 14 pills to take ( I would have forgotten so many doses on my own)
Food - They make good home cooked Dominican food which was great for me, but for those that did not want to eat that they would go out of their way to get something you would want to eat.
Lotions -They rubbed my sides where I got lipo'd every 2 hours, by the time I left I had no bruising
Water - They do their best to get you to drink your water. Bring drink mixes to help.

Virginia is ever attentive to you. At one point there were 6 of us in the house I never felt neglected. Julissa is also very attentive but was only there 1 of the days I was there.
Joanna can cook pretty much anything and tries to cater to you as much as possible.
Dr Martha comes in every day with fresh food for that days meals. Checks on everyone and makes sure everyone is good with the next day menu. She is also the one that gives you the Lymphatic Drain Massages which is great cause you don't have to go out for them.

Ladies you will have to excuse my lack of pics, having me a moment, due to being so swollen. I know the surgery was successful and once I get rid of this swelling I will be able to see it. But right now I'm having me a major MOMENT. I would so appreciate any suggestions. Drinking pineapple juice with cucumbers and lemon, staying away from salt, taking my Bromelein pills. HELP. Love this site that I can come here and vent and ask for help from my sisters.

Ladies make sure to have your wheelchair scheduled for you. I would not have made on my own. Even though I'm 12 days out of surgery, this was exhausting. I went from an atmosphere where almost everything was being done for me to having to catch two flights. Went to my primary care physician just to get checked out. He gave me a referral for "Therapy for Lymphedema" basically my insurance will pay for my lymphatic drain massages. My lymph nodes under my pits are swollen and are very tender. You can feel hard lumps under my armpits and that's what makes it Lymphedema.( Thank you to Fancyshoes) saw this on her review.
