Day 23 Post Op: I am super happy with my results...
WORTH IT$3,500
Day 23 Post Op:
I am super happy with my results. Everything is healing well. The scabs are falling off, and my incision is basically invisible. Will post a pic of my scar as soon as all the scabs fall off, should be in a couple of days. I am using my KeloCote scar gel, which helps minimize the appearance of the scar. I saw Dr. Robles yesterday, she says everything looks great!! And will see me in January unless I'm worried about something.
I am still drinking 3 Liters of water everyday and am making green juices. I am currently drinking a whole pitcher of juice 3-4 times per week. You dont wanna drink it everyday cuz you'll start losing lots of weight, and you're not supposed to do any type of diet the first 2 months after surgery. I blend a whole pineapple, 1 cucumber with the skin, 1 apple with the skin and 2 celery sticks and add some honey to sweeten it, NO sugar.
Thats all for now!!

Day 17 Post Op:
Just added some pics of my new compression garment. So much more comfortable because it keeps my butt in place and its really tight. Its the Isavella brand, I purchased it before I had surgery.

Day 16 Post Op:
Everything has been going great, swelling has been decreasing but still have some swelling in the lower part of my tummy. The incision and belly button have been healing properly. I have been applying the Mosqueta Rose oil everyday, don't attribute the healing of the incision just to the oil, I always heal really well, everyone is different.
I finally took a bath today, felt AWESOME!!! but left the gauze and tape on the incision so it wouldn't get too wet, then put on the oil and put dry gauze on. Took some pics while I had my garment off, I am loving how everything is looking so far, have no complaints at all.
I am still sleeping on my back but can stay on my side for a while, so it relieves my back a little. As of today I started walking completely straight, feels good, walking like an old lady was killing my lower back.
Dr. Robles told me I could start getting massages on my back and waist as of tomorrow, lets see how that goes. There is a massage therapist that is coming to my house tomorrow, she will do a session of ultrasound, paraffin bath and then lymphatic drainage(manually), it's gonna cost me $20, I think its a good value considering that I can get it done in the comfort of my house. I have another appointment with Dr. Robles on Wednesday, she has been seeing me every 4-5 days.
Well, that's all for now. I posted some new pics!!!!

Hey I have a question.. with the gauze... how did that work? What did u use it for and how did u use it?

Until the incision completely heals, it's better to have it covered with a layer of gauze, you can see what it looks like in the pics I posted. The idea is to prevent frictional contact between the incision and the compression garment. I left it on to take a bath because I didn't want my incision scabs to get humid and start falling off before they should, this was just my way of making sure I'm not affecting the healing process. When I finished bathing, I took everything off and dried my incision, put on the Mosqueta Rose oil and put the new gauze and tape on. I just don't want anything irritating my incision, like soap or tap water, which isn't purified and has bacteria in it, keep in mind I live in the DR and this is the main reason why PS here don't let you bathe for a while, because the water is slightly contaminated and you can run the risk of getting your wound infected. Hope this answers your question.

YES it did! I was looking around and people say use maxi pads instead but I like the look of the gauze better on my incision than some maxi pads lol ... you look stunning by the way! I will be going to DR in 6 days, on Sunday for my sx on Monday with Yily de los Santos! how long did it take you to feel normal again? I want to come back to NYC after 8 almost 9 days, do you think I will be ok by then?

Your tummy tuck looks amazing. I'm so excited for my surgery with Robles in just 3 more weeks. Her incisions are Always low, thin and straight I believe she's a perfectionist. I'm not sure if I should get the vitamedics do you feel they were worth it ?

December 3, 2012
Thanks Gabii!! The Vitamedica is hard to review on cuz I never used it before on any other surgical procedure, so I can't compare it with anything. But I just like the security that I'm drinking a high quality vitamin supplement and I have no bruising at all. Don;t know if its because of the pills or not, but I don't regret purchasing them, you have to purchase other vitamins anyways so why not just get something that is organized for you, you just have to follow the schedule it tells you. My Hgb level never went down.
