Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
In Stage 2 CG!
Lessons learned!
1. Any true RH should have their own supplies(i.e.gauze, tape, gloves, chux, etc)! You do not need to pack and travel with these items. The hospital Dr. Leon uses(PlasticMedic)does have chux also, and blankets! Yes, I packed a queen assed size blanket because I thought the hospital wouldn't have one as I'd read from so many reviews on RS!
2. Don't need a funnel for peeing. I was trying to pee standing up! Went everywhere but toilet. Arelis had to take my TED stockings off and wash them! She asked me why I was peeing that way? Again, stuff I'd read on RS! She said I could sit the regular way! Gingerly I tried it, and I could! No pain getting up or down! Thighs were sore from Lipo, but that was it! Threw my pee funnel in trash!
3. Dr. Leon's dolls don't have to shower with any special soap before surgery! I did because I'd taken the Hibiclens with me, but it's not necessary for him!
4. Not 1 time did I hear anything about Arnica tablets or gel! The massage therapists have thier own oils that they use! I took the tablets only because I'd started them before surgery for the bruising so kept it up. I use the gel to rub my inner things which are bruised from the Lovenox injections! Even now!
5. Wheelchair assistance is a life and time saver! Get it for your return trip home!
6. Bedrooms in RH are all individually controlled for AC. The common areas do not have AC, but I was fine with that because being on the 6th floor it was cooler, and they did have fans going!
7. If you're a snacker take your snacks! Arelis won't give you junk food! I had to bargain with her for my treats-eat her breakfast and lunch and I could have Chinese for dinner! LOL!
8. Stick with the sports bras! I tried a regular bra the other night and my ribs had all kinds of
shooting pains! Got up and put on sports bra-no pain!
9.Get your Tourist Card online before you go! Airline will give you Declaration form on plane to fill out for immigration. By the time you land in Santo Domingo you may be able to breeze through Immigration because they're turning most of the travelers back to go get their Tourist Card! That's how it worked for me!
That's it for now, divas! If I think of anything else you guys will be the first to know! xoxo
Provider Review
Dr. Leon and Georgina make an awesome team! Both are caring and compassionate! Georgina gives you her cell number once you're in the DR to contact her anytime for anything! Dr. Leon cares for your health and will not do anything to jeopardize it at anytime. They both are cool and calm with amazing grace under the the most trying conditions, and I did witness some of those conditions! And, they give great hugs! Both are very down to earth! And, Dr. Leon tells you the truth! Not what you want to hear! Dr. Leon is a phone call away and always available in a crisis! He doesn't try to sell you extras, and even refunded me some money because I didn't use his driver! I'd used the driver included with the RH fees! He even waited with me when additional tests were required and accompanied me to the tests! If he had an appointment Georgina went with me! A wonderful experience being his patient, and I will be returning for two more procedures in 6-8 months! Well worth the $4400.
