Today is the day a new Doll emerge - Dominican Republic, DO

I'm in my recovery room now... yezz it's getting real... saw duran and she is tiny... I mean TINY. she looks like a barbie, so much makeup and heels.
And tip #3.... you should already know not to wear acrylic nails for your surgery, there is no point in trying to look cute. I didn't even comb my hair or wear my usual long weave to DR , but what they did not mention is don't have any polish on your toes either because they will take it off. Especially the big toe. I guess it's too make sure they can see if your oxygen is circulating. I remembered in nursing school they told us you can tell by the color of the toe nail. If it's blue or purple your lacking O2.

Hey RS, the day has finally arrived....yay!!!!! surgery today. I pray that God is with me throughout this process and that his hands guide my surgeon and his staff to form me into the beautiful body I once had...and then some. I pray I make it in and out of this surgery with no complications what so ever and that my healing process is smooth and I have a quick recovery...Amen! PS this review will be a lil long so prepare yourself =)

So let's rewind back to yesterday.. ugh what a long, long day that was. Made it to the airport on time, all thanks to my booski, had no problems with security and my bags weren't overweight which was great. The flight wasnt to bad. . I was tired like hell and couldn't sleep for whatever reason. Made it to DR and I swear they all thought that I was Dominican Lmao. Everyone started taking to me in Spanish, I just smile and nodded, picked up on the lingo and went through customs very quick. Ladies tip #1 say "buenas" and you'll be fine lol.

Angel the driver from the rh was there to pick me up with my name in a sign. we stepped outside and instantly I felt like I was still in south fla... it was hot, (crazy cold at the airport and on the plane, but hot outside). To be honest DR is like a mixture of Jamaica and Miami to me. Beautiful place and a lot more developed and civilized than most people make it seem. I can post some pics later. Dropped my stuff off at the houses and checked in. (Side note: the staff and doctor at the rh are beautiful) I had paid off my balance for the rh before I came and I'm glad i did. when I got there Dr cedano was calculating the cost of my stay and said I owe 700. I pulled out my receipt email from PayPal and politely handed it to her which stated I already paid and had actually only owed 550... yezzz. So ladies it's nice to come prepared and bring additional copies of your paperwork just in case. Something told me to bring a copy of my receipt and I'm glad I did. Liz already sent an email confirming she received my payment but I guess they were not aware of it at the rh so... tip #2 bring all receipts and additional copies of documents.

Okay so we head over to cipla and I'm taking in the sites (they drive just like they do in Jamaica I swear) and DR is really beautiful. Did labs and xray but then had to leave and come back for the cardiologist....hmmm okay. Went back to the house. Met some girl's, had lunch which wasn't too bad, but they do give you a lot of food. Tried to take a nap and then was told I have to head back to cipla again... alright. Hopped in the car with two other ladies, arrived at cipla and that's when the waiting game began... Jesus help me. Went to Dr Diaz office to finish paperwork, (his assistant is the cutest little thing by the way) and then waited and waited and waited. When I finally saw the cardiologist he asks about my Medical and family history and did the ekg. Now let me tell You... I thought the result would be a little off cause when I say that thing my heart skipped a beat.. it literally looks like jumper cables. (By the way this was being done is yily office which was kinda awkward being that I was originally suppose to see her.) And the reviews you've seen about cabral office was no joke.. it's huge, I'll try and take a pic of that too.

So I waited for Dr Diaz to come in after surgery to do my in person consultation and when i tell you I fell in love... I really did... with his braces and all lol. He is soooo sweet and speaks fluent English which put me at ease cause I could tell him exactly what I want and he's so attentive. It was kinda awkward at first standing butt naked in front of this attractive man so he can take pictures and assess me. He kept staring and putting on his thinking face... made me think damn do I really look that bad. But anywho we agreed that I was in need of a reduction, being a size g and all. He said I could be a c cup which will be fine if it's a full c to d, as long as it fit my frame. My breast have been huge for so long any change would look awkward in my opinion. He said I would have loose skin and did need a tummy tuck but after he had me lay down he said Lipo alone should be just fine, my skin shouldn't hang too much but I would have to wear my garment a little longer than most, which is cool. I expected hanging skin. He wouldn't recommend the tt now anyway since I don't have any kids so... surgery will be tomorrow, or today I guess around 12 since that's the time he's done doing his rounds but for me to be at cipla by 8.

After I saw him I was waiting for the other two ladies I came with. An hour later found out we had to drive to cecip for them to see the cardiologist which took another 2 hours. Not complaining or anything but I was drained... fell asleep on the couch about three times...tragic. so got back to the house around 8 I think, took a shower, ate some food, conversed with my roommate and knocked the f out. So now I'm here at cipla waiting and praying. I finally got to talk to my mom which made me feel better cause I didn't get to see her before I left. I will update you guys later on what happens. Pray for me ^_^

Hey RS fam! The time has finally come and im so excited.... this feels so surreal!! A lot has been going on.... in the process of moving, crazy family situations, and a whole lot more. Just to let you guys know a few changes have been made. I am no longer going to dr yily, i love her work and shes a beast at sculpting, but i thought it over and i really REALLY wanted my breasts done. They cause the most problems and her breast work as far as reductions and lifts are not that great to me. Therefore i will be going to dr Manuel diaz. The man is so sweet and wonderful and responds to every little question i have....seriously hes great. Thanks to bfanci and jennberry. Sorry for the typos yall, im at the airport waiting to board and doing this on my phone. This trip didn't get real until i deposited that check in his account... Lol no turning back now =)
So i will still be having surgery tomorrow and ill try my best to update on a daily schedule. I know how it feels to be lurking in here waiting for someone who just got surgery to make a new post lol. To be honest im not nervous, just really excited i feel like ive been waiting for centuries. Good luck to my surgey buddies and all those dolls who just got done and will be going soon. Keep me in your prayers yall. Ttys
