Breast Augmentation/Lipo/Fat Transfer - Dominican Republic, DO

I've been lurking on this site, reading all posts and experience. My podiatrist, who is an excellent podiatrist, told me about Dr. Walkiris Robles and showed me her tummy tuck procedure and ladies, it was excellent. I don't need a tummy tuck, but I need a breast augmentation and lipo.

I'm 5'7, weigh 155, I'm physically active. I run approximately 5-13 miles every day. I have very stubborn fat and after having 3 children, breastfed all 3, and lost 40 pounds, I need help. In talking to my podiatrist, I know Dr. Robles can do miracles. So, I wanted to give it a try.

I've asked all the pertinent questions from Laura, who is Dr. Robles administrator and the response back to me has been excellent. I booked my flight today and am scheduled for my physical next week for my Complete Blood Count (CBC).

I'm not looking for huge breasts, but just nice, perky, round ones that compliment my body or my future body.

No matter how much I excercise, I cannot get rid of some stubborn fat area, and I need some help in the butt area.

I will update more pictures as I go through the procedure. I'm sure this will help others like me thinking about doing this procedure.

I went to my doctor and received a full physical. She called me yesterday to tell me I was not anemic and my hemoglobin was 11.6. To me that seemed on the low side and my surgery is scheduled for November 14. I'm taking 300mg of iron twice a day and vitamin c and b. I hope that by November 14, my levels are much higher.

I arrived in DR at 1:00pm and Wilson was waiting for me with a sign with my name on it. There was another girl coming at a later flight so he called the office to see if we needed to wait for her. Well, thank goodness we didn't because the other girl arrived at 4pm.

Wilson then took my luggage, paid for the airport parking and drove me to CECIP.

At CECIP, I waited about 1 hour waiting for Dra. Robles and her assistant Laura that were our to lunch.

When Laura gets there she asks me to show her the quote of the surgery. This surprised me, since I would have thought she would have had the information (the email confirmation) and not ask for me to produce it. This made me a tad uncomfortable, because I felt if I didn't have the email confirmation she would argue with me about the price or the procedure.

Well, I had the information and then we talked about the discount of $300, if you get surgery before 12/31/2013. She agreed, but then she said Dra. Robles said that I needed a breast lift? Now, this is where I was a little surprised, because I sent all my before pictures to the doctor prior to the quote and she clearly said that I needed a lift, but she didn't know which procedure. Well, anyways, the $300 discount, went out the water, because that's how much the breast lift was. I didn't want to argue so I agreed.

Another doctor, studying under Dra. Robles, Dra, Lara, takes me to get X-rays. That went fine.

Then she took me to get blood drawn in another department. The needles are big ladies. BIG. I was a little concerned what the results would be, because Dra. Lara said if my hemoglobin remained at 11.6, I would not be able to do the lipo on the back with fat transfer.

2 weeks before the surgery, I was taking 65mgs of ferrus iron, folic acid, vitamin B complex, and 1000 mg of vitamin C. I drank this with orange juice on an empty stomach. Also, about 30 minutes after, I ate a banana, to settle my stomach.

My hemoglobin levels came back at 12.7! So, I was good to do everything.

Then I was taken to another doctor, to get my EKG. He asked me questions about my health, ect. That was fine.

At this point, the other girl gets there and I have to wait for her to get all her tests done...now ladies, I'm STARVED, but I get no food. I think this is something that it's important for them to do. Is FEED US something small during this time.

Dra. Robles then marks me up and explains what she will do. I chose 375cc for my breast size.

Then we are taken to another section, to pay for the procedure. I chose to pay credit card, because I didn't want to bring that much cash on me internationally.
After all the tests are complete, we are taken to our private rooms, with private bathroom, air-condition and TV to await our surgery the next day.
