IM GIVING IT TO YOU REAL: Recovery House & Surgery and Recovery Process.

After I touched down in the DR, I called Serenity 2 driver to come pick me up at the airport. Let me start off by saying how beautiful and NON crowded the airport was. I thought Dominican people were light skinned and they look just like me, BROWN. OMG, the people are so nice and have great sense of humor. I think its me, I get along with anybody. Okay, so when we got in the van, the van had wifi and Conrad was playing Nelly. I was scared for a minute because I had no idea where the hell I was going. I didnt pay him until he took me to the destination because I was scared. He turned out to be a cool person. He was very patient with me and came through when it was time to take me to my appointments. Anyways at Serenity 2, its a gated garage with security so I felt very safe. The nurses and staff were very nice. I love and miss them so much. They treated me like a baby. I think I was their favorite patient because when I left, they were taking pictures of me and crying. I really didnt ring the bell or ask them for anything during the night because I am a very humbled person. I had my mom to help me out. MY ADVICE TO YOU IS BEFORE YOU GET THERE, BUY LOTS OF PADS AND WIPES. Thats majorly what you are going to use. The nurses made sure I took my meds and everything. We had a cook her name is Raina. Dont expect to eat heavy ass food. Youre going to eat healthy. That recovery house made me feel like I was at home. I felt comfortable with them. The recovery house stay booked, so go ahead and book ahead of time. This a real review, that recovery house is awesome and they keep it clean. So anyways I made it to Cipla and did the EKG test, Chest X-Ray and some blood work. I was the last one on the table so I was waiting pretty long. At first I wanted to go first but it turned out I was happy I went last because I didnt have to be there that whole time bearing the soreness. So I went to the 4th floor and they gave me the surgery clothes and blue pill. BIHHHH I was being brave like that pill aint going to do nothing. 15-30 mins went by, my ass was staring at the ceiling. A man from Dr. Duran crew came and got me and walked to the table. He asked me "How do you feel?" and im like "I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I dont even know" and he laughed at me lol. So they laid me on the table. Dr. Duran and her staff were all dressed in pink and another color, BABY DR DURAN WHOLE ENTIRE STAFF IS IN FORMATION. So the lady put the IV in me and thats all I can remember. I remember it was like I was in a dream with volcanos and unicorns or some [RS bleep] and they sat me up and gave me the epidural. But I couldnt really see nothing it was like a dream and I was in a chemical romance or something. I cant explain it. Anyways, I woke up on my ass and they had to flip me over. THAT [RS bleep] WAS HURTINNNNNNG. MY ASS FELT LIKE I WAS CARRYING BRICKS. Shout out to the Cipla nurse that stayed with me that night because I didnt have a nurse. She real cool. We stayed up talking about some of EVERYTHING. I forgot her name but she got short afro hair and she pretty with a caramel complexion. Nurses were coming in giving me pain medicine through iv. I was ready to go back to the recovery house, I was so over Cipla at that moment. The next morning Duran came into my room and explained to me recovery and gave me my prescriptions. I told her "I have faith in you because YOU THE QUEEN" and she laughed. After she left they discharged me at 10 or 12 I cant remember but I was ready to go. I was so happy to see Conrad that day lol because I felt like I was going to die. I was literally asking myself why the hell did I do this. So I went back to the recovery house and ate. The nurses and staff really took care of me, bathed me everyday and cleaned the rooms. Each day that goes by, the recovery gets easier. Duran staff took my drains at 5 day post op. I DIDNT HAVE A BOBBY PILLOW BUT LUCKLY THE RECOVERY HOUSE HAS 1 FOR EVERY PATIENT. I had to buy one before I left because I couldnt take it with me on the plane. I stayed 10 days. THAT PLANE RIDE BACK HOME WAS HELL. My booty was hurting so bad. I went first class to and from DR. GET WHEEL CHAIR ASSISTANCE EVERYWHERE.

SORRY 4 THE WAIT!: 3 MONTH POST OP

I am sooooo sorry dolls. I didnt realize I havent made an update in this long. Let me explain, THAT RECOVERY PROCESS IS HELL. It wasnt pain, It was alot of soreness. I honestly went to Dominican Republic expecting the worst but in all honesty, it wasnt that bad. When you have this surgery, dont expect to make reviews day by day. That [RS bleep] is difficult because you would be focused on getting better and trying to ease your mind off of the soreness. Anyways let me tell you about the aftermath, people noticed my fat ass. I just tell them I went to the gym and all that good stuff LOL. When I went to CIPLA, I was surprised at how many natural women from the U.S that was there getting there bodies done. That let me know for an example, that if I see the neighborhood candy lady booty got all of a sudden big, TRUST ME, SHE WENT TO THE DR. Dont let these waist training, go workout at the gym heffas fool yall. That let me know that I went to the right place to get my body done. I felt so comfortable and able to connect with those women. Duran is a beautiful lady. She seems intimidating at first but shes just very concerned about your health. I wasnt a needy person so her bedside manners to me were okay. She told me I can stop wearing my faja at 3 months or try going on to 6 months before I left. I feel like I need to go an extra month with my faja. Im going to talk about my faja journey after my Recovery House post. THANKS DURAN, YOU GOT THE KEEEEYSSS HONEY!!!!!!

Surgery Dayyy!!!

So it's Surgery day and I'm in the Dominican babyyy. Lol. My nurse woke me up early this morning at the recovery house and I was on my way to see the queen herself Dr. Duran. I'm at Cipla right now and all I see is SNATCHED Cabral Barbies and Duran Dolls. Every woman here is communicating with one another and every body is so nice even the staff.

Don't believe what people tell you. So far, Cipla is very clean. The staff is amazing. I got my blood drawn and x Ray. They are very professional and quick.

I met Dr. Duran and she is very cool person. She's very honest and she asked a million questions to make sure I have no complications during surgery as far as medicine. I didn't show her my wish pics because I didn't have time. Basically she marked me and that was it. It looked like she was saying in her head "I'm gone snatch her ass, Ima take out the fat here & here, give her some ass then BAM f**k a picture. I'm gone snatch her anyway" LOL I can't wait until they call my name. I'm sleepy and I'm ready to get this over with.
