Hello, everyone. I am new on here and I wanted to tell you guys my experience with the Drs on here. First off, I emailed ALOT OF THEM. Dr Camilo and Dr Disla replied back to me. I was quoted 5000 for all over lipo and tummy tuck with Dr Camilo and 4300 with Dr Disla. I decided to go with Dr Disla since she was cheaper. So far, she has been emailing me back and forth. I sent my 500 deposit and got a confirmation and the date of 16th April 2014 locked in. She just told me to take Vit C, Folic Acid, and Iron pills. She didn't mention any pre blood work that I must have here. She did mention my hemoglobin must be 12 or better. I haven't received any paperwork ( Dr Camilo sent me 3 pages) but I know every Dr is different. But I am happy with my choice, I have read a lot of great things about her and I can't wait to meet her. Does anyone know if she speaks English. I have tried to talk to her on whatsapp but I am not sure she is receiving them. She is responding only through her email. I also have booked Daisy RH. Anyone stayed there ? Daisy is nice also. Any other comments or suggestions regarding Dr Cynthia Disla, please let me know. Especially people who have had her as their doctor. Thanks.

starting to wonder if I made the right decision.

Ok, so I have picked DR Disla ( which I totally feel is the right physician) But reading all the comments and other doctors reviews about traveling 8 days post op from tummy tuck and all over lipo is too soon, is making me a lil nervous. I understand the risks of getting DVT/PE. I am just having a lot of things racing thru my mind now...should I go to DR, ( even tho I already sent my deposit and booked my flight), How can I prevent the DVT, What if I have complications once I get back to the states. I live in Nashville, tn area. ( does anyone know of any surgeon I can have as a backup in case I have problems, like seroma, infection, etc). Has anyone had any problems with flying or seromas? I am overweight but I have no health issues, not on any meds. Maybe I am just freaking myself out, dunno..ugh!!

what is DVT
March 9, 2014
Deep vein thrombosis ( blood clot in leg) PE (pulmonary embolism) clot gets into your lungs.

You should def plan your stay for 13 days although I know that sounds so long to be away from your family/job but you want to make sure you have no complications that come with the surgery and disla is very particular with her patients she checks on them every two days on her own and is always available when she is needed

Thanks, I am definitely rethinking my return date. Did she tell you to stay that long?
March 9, 2014
She to me min 12 days remember you're going to have drains for the build up fluid and those take at least 10 days before they are removed

i am going with dr disla her work is amazing i seen it first hand with my friend. DVT are avoided by getting heprin shots and the most important thing is your compression socks. think positive my surgery is April 2

Hi Vlady34, I’ve been reading you post and I really hope you didn’t jump to soon to book a doctor. I am scheduled to go in a few weeks with Dr. Medina. I followed her and other who have gone to her for a year. I pray that your journey is successful. Continue to ask as many question as needed. We all are here to help one another. Good luck

So i am soo obsessed with this site!! Lol!! Decided to update to say that I changed my flight to leave 12 days after surgery. I have been emailing Dr Disla and she seems soo sweet. I have been freaking out reading other people reviews and about the deaths that happened in Febuary.. But she answered all my questions and assured me that she will do everything possible to get me back home to my love ones. I still have fears but I'm trying to trust and believe that everything will be fine. Also my surgery is April 16th and I am staying at Daisy recovery house.. Has any one been there? Also is the water there safe to drink? Where can u get bottled water? And should I get these Arnica pills or gel everyone is talking about? Thanks in advance..ima try to get some sleep now.. Lol

Buy the vitamedic program and also the arnica pills
March 17, 2014
Yes they are google them you take them 7 days before surgery and two weeks after helps with healing and bruising and it comes with the arnica pills so all you will have to buy is the cream which you can buy in any rite aide

am staying at maria recovery house, i have nothing bad to say, the only difficult is the language barrier, but its not the worst, food is great, place is clean, staff is patient and kind
March 19, 2014
Good to know. The only place I knew of was Yasmin's which was recommended by Dra Dylsla. I think for the most part, for us coming from the states there might be some issues with others Folks that know you're s visitor or tourist and may take advantage. Fortunately for me, I was born inDR however never went back but once since my childhood. I still speak Spanish...otherwise my parents would've let me have it! :) On the other hand food is great, and for the most part once a home is opened for you you're very well taken care of!!!!
March 19, 2014
ok. well i cant say anything bad aboug them or anyone else i came in contact with

Hi there!!! I've also chose Dra C Disla. My MM is scheduled for 4/10/14. I just called my flight reservation to change for a roomier seat post op. Now I have to bring in a medical clearanc from my PS that I'm ok to fly back to Fl. Of course I know if he possibilities of DVY and PE. I'm in the medical field and Eben if I wasn't with all the great feedbacks from RS sisters sooner or later one is to find out. ButGod only knows this may be one way of keeping me from getting back 1 wk post op vs 2 wks...well let's see what happens.I was also canceled my stay at a Drs appt. Afet I had full payment, was just informed she doesn't want to risk taking surgery patients!!; Ugghhhhh. Luckily Yasmin welcomed me with open arms!!! I'm staying at RH where Dr Disla recommended!!!!
March 18, 2014
Who did u cancel ur appt with and why u need clearance to fly? Sorry ur message or reading funny. I had to change my ticket from 8 days to 12 days post op.
March 18, 2014
Sorry my smart phone ain't so smart and I'm not double checking what words it chooses to type in.
I Originally planned to stay x 1 wk. After calling my airlines to get a seat that has more room for the legs, I was asked why I needed to change my regular seat. Once I said it was to come back 1 wk after abdominoplasty surgery, I was told I needed a letter from my PS stating I can board a plane. Be aware all who intend to use American Airlines!! So now I may need to change my ticket to 2 wks post up unless Dr Disla gives me a drs note that I'm ok (medically cleared) to fly in 1 wk post op. :/
March 18, 2014
Oh wow!! I'm using American Airlines too! I had the extra room too when I was coming back after a week but when I decided to stay for 12 days I changed it and got another flight without the extra room but they didn't ask me why.. That sucks.. Sorry
March 19, 2014
Awwww... Well Dr Disla says "no problema" she'll give me the note. Was there s particular health issue for you that made you change date. I know complications can arise post flight? Any RS advise. Thanks!!!
March 19, 2014
No.. Dr Disla said I needed to stay minimum 12 days cuz the drains come out at 10 and she wants 2 extra days after to see if I will swell
March 21, 2014
I tried contacting them but they took forever getting back so I'm staying at Maria's de Los Angeles RH
March 29, 2014
12 days sounds like a plan for me , I'm kind hessitant with everyone warning me about risks !!!!
