I had a bbl done a few years ago but I lost it after 6 months due to being too active.???? I got in contact with Surgical Sisters via IG because they had an 'All inclusive package for the BBL'. I contacted them, went panther website, paid my $3800. I was contacted by 'Loraine' & she pretty much draws up the paperworks. I soon found out that it wasn't necessarily all inclusive because I still had to pay $280 fee & then $500 for labs, X-rays & faja. So it's definitely not for people who've been saving up exact cash. I contact Surgical Sisters on 1 July 2016 & was approved & locked in on 6 July 2016 which I found was truly impressive as compared to Bellavita & Phenombeauty Consultants. I swear, Bellavita & Phenombeauty urked my last damn nerves moving all slow & [RS bleep] like I'm begging for their services!

Day 1: I arrived in SDQ (Santo Domingo) at noon on 10 July 2016. I had to look hard before I saw a sign with the Surgical Sisters logo & of course 'Surgical Sisters'. It was our Driver, Pedro & our RN. They're both super nice! So walked over to them & they took me to a nearby table where we sat until the other 3 ladies came in...which was less than 10min. We then went to the SUV & drove to the recovery house 'Armonia'. They introduced us to the staff & the Surgical Sisters gave us our orientation. They were very informative & knowledge ...not to mention their bodies were amazing...like they would run J Lo out of competition! After that, they gave us tour & showed us to our rooms! I swear, it looks just like the pictures on IG! There's mirrors, fans & AC everywhere! I love it! Then there's the food...it's everything. They have a menu & you pretty much can pick whatever you want & they will make it. They were even able to accommodate my need for plantains! They truly go all out to make sure we are comfortable. Later on that day, we went out to a gathering for which a reservation was made. It was a beautiful scene, we just felt super under dressed because we had packed mostly leggings, robes, tang tops, flips etc. I'll attached some pics of the night out.

In your opening comment you said you we're so active you undid your BBL surgery. This is actually one of my worst fears because I am very active and I'm worried I will work off the fat. I was told that it was a likely to happen if I went to a doctor that processed with my own plasma so my body would accept it. So I guess my question is when you had your first BBL done did they do the process where they inject the fat with your own plasma?

No, that was not done. For round 2, I didn’t get that either but I’m still very active & my butt stayed! So I guess it all depends on how much fat you have & your surgeon. My surgeon had poor bedside manners but he did a decent job.

Labs & X-ray yesterday (11 July 2016)

BellaCarib
So yesterday we got our labs & X-rays ($500) done. I swear, it was an all morning & afternoon process for 4 of us. First off, I like to state that their healthcare system is slightly different. We went to Dr Rodriguez office to do the pre-ops. The lab technician didn't use a glove when she drew up my blood, instead, she used the glove as a tourniquet. She has used the alcohol pad to glean the site then touched it again with her finger. Totally defeats the purpose! The cardiologist was no better. The leads that he used were previously used & after he used them on me, he put them back on the pads. We did meet a few ladies that had gotten work done by Dr Rodriguez. They were super nice & had no issues talking to us & flaunting their new curves. Soon after, we went to another location to get the X-rays. This was a quick process. We went in one by one, the X-ray tech took the pictures & that was that.

Later that day
Later in the day, we had to wait to get out surgery time. Unfortunately, I had a set back because my hemoglobin levels were a 11.6 & it need to be between 12 -16. I was slightly upset because it's so close.

Popping vitamins to raise my hemo (12 July 2016)

BellaCarib
Now a whole day later, I'm downing iron pills, b12 & vitamin c while they're waiting on getting the approval from the cardiologist to go ahead with my surgery tomorrow. 2 of the girls left to go get their surgeries. I'm super excited for them! I'm ready for them to get 'snatched'! But it's slightly concerning that all the surgical sisters left. I'm happy that me & the other girl are naturally hyped because if we weren't, we'd be super anxious about being left alone. Oh, did I mention the food is everything! I swear, it's healthy but they spoiling me. They know how to make us comfortable at Armonia! Everything is so fresh! And my greedy ass ain't got no type! I'm happy I did my consultation through Surgical Sisters! I like being pampered esp with my job!
