30 Years Young BBl,TT,Full Lipo - Dominican Republic, DO

Just wanted to write a separate review for the recovery house I stayed in because it was amazing and I like to give credit where credit is due! Initial I was nervous because the nurse and driver who received me from the airport spoke moderate English, this is where the translator app was super helpful. All basic terms like food, bathroom, more, pain ect aren't a problem. The owner is from Texas and from the initial reservation was involved daily to check if I had food allergies to how I felt daily and most importantly how her staff were treating me. Carrolyn is always looking for ways to better her establishment, she recently enrolled the nurses in English classes which seems to be doing wonders because by the time I left the need for the translator app wasn't needed as much. The house is located about 5 minutes from the US embassy in a very upscale, gated neighborhood. I was told there may be construction because they were building more apartments but I never heard a peep. Safety and Privacy here is at the top of the list in the event you want to secure your stuff in the closet in your room or the actual door to your room all doors come with keys. They only take three ladies at ANY given time so I didn't need to secure anything as they only came in my room with my permission or while I was in there to change my sheets and make my bed. Hygiene and the overall cleanliness of this house far exceeded my hopes, the girls sweep, mop and sanitize your room/house daily. I stayed in the single room because I was worried about having a loud or inconsiderate room mate, I loved my room it had a 50inch tv with Netflix, double bed and hospital bed (by request), my own personal bathroom and so so much more. After a few days I was able to move around and was finally able to walk into the dinning room to eat and watch a little tv, I met a SX buddy KiKi there and it was a huge comfort to have someone to talk to that was positive and down to earth. I defiantly suggest bringing a friend if you stay at this recovery house there is plenty of room. If your on your own or attempt to come out of your room to meet the other ladies or spend time with the nurses while they cook because one it helps make the time go by faster and two it's very uplifting to chill with someone who is going through the same thing as you or see a friendly face when your far away from home. Food- one word AMAZING! So healthy and delicious I defiantly contribute 50% of my speedy recovery to the food and fresh juice. I initially needed help using the bathroom and simply getting up and down, the girls were always readily available or just a shout away. They were on point with my medicine even if it was at 11pm at night, there is ALWAYS a nurse able to help you if you need it! Whether I needed a laugh or help putting my socks on I could count on the girls to take such God care of me and I'm truly thankful I chose this home away from home. I could go on and on about how great the staff were but I'd be here all day, if you have any direct questions i.e what to bring and not to bring or whatever please don't hesitate to ask!

My first check up, the powder is to dry out my belly button for healing, Dr Fatima Almonte said the stretch marks are swollen which made them raise up on my skin. The stretch marks are what make the scar look uneven and bumpy but they will lay down and even out once my swelling goes down ;) but because of the muscle repair my stomach is very very swollen.

The picture with the plastic wrap is when the masseuse puts hot paraffin wax on, amazing!
