Can anyone tell me how strict is DR.Medina about hemo level? My doctor here told me I'm good to go but I know she requires a 14 to have 3 procedures. Also, does she provide a private nurse to everyone after surgery or I have to request it? I am excited and scared at he same time. Want to make sure I have everything ready to get this surgery.

What is your hemo now?
August 10, 2016
wow that is good, I have my surgery on Aug 29th in my iron 11.6. I am trying to get it up any suggestions?

I've been taking the blood builder, vitron-c, b12,folic acid and iron vitamins 2x a day for the last 2 months. I also started taking multi vitamins a month ago but I stopped last week bec DR medina said to stop certain vitamins 2 weeks before surgery . I did my last blood work today and I will find out tomorrow if my hemo went up.

That is good.I heard a lot of people say it usually goes down 1.5 points sometimes, hopefully it don't but my friend did in she ended up getting iron shots 2 bags it went from 11 to a 14.

Do you have an instragram account? I want to follow your journey. I hope you have a successful surgery and recovery. Which Recovery House you staying at?
August 15, 2016
How much did it cost? I was go na get iron shots before leaving but my blood test shows my iron level is already high. They said there are other things contributing to the hemo level besides iron. Hopefully I don't need to get one but I want to make sure I get all my surgery done.

Hi I'm super late seeing this lol but do you remember which vitamins she asked you to stop taking?

My hemo level was 13.8 and I was able to have my tummy tuck, lipo and bbl. When I woke up after surgery there was a older lady in my room that was somewhat helpful.

Where did you keep your valuables when you went to surgery? They are telling me to just leave it in my room and they will lock the room.

Dr. Medina gave me back my life. I've been wanting to have this
surgery for the last 10 yrs but couldn't afford the price from where I
came from. I found out about Dr.Medina when I started researching about
surgeries abroad. I finally decided to have the surgery done after I
started communicating with Dr. Medina. I felt an assurance right from
the start that everything will turn out good. She is awesome. Very
accommodating and she will tell you straight out what she can and cannot
do for you. Her staff is amazing too. The recovery house was wonderful.
I had a blast with the other girls that was there. We spend nights
talking and watching tv all together. The surgery was ok, and I could
say the recovery part is the worst of all. The first week was painful
but every time I think about how my body have changed and how my life
will be different from that time on, it makes me feel good. Dr. Medina
did a great job on me and she never stop checking on me up until this
time. I told her I will be coming back for round 2 next year. The entire
experience is just amazing.

You look great. Sometime last year you commented that you are also from California. I was looking into Dr. Medina at that time but stopped because I was looking to stay in cali for surgery. Well, I'm looking at her again and I want to get my BBL done by her. You look great! Can you tell me how your flight back to cali was? I'm just afraid of sitting on my butt since we have two flights to take back home. How long did you stay in the DR?
March 5, 2017
Hi. Thanks for the comment. The flight back is not that bad. I had the wheelchair service all the way back. I was sitting on my buppy pillow the entire time. If you can afford to get into first class or business class then that will be better bec you will have room to move around or stand up once in a while. I came home with my drainage so it was kinda difficult to be focusing on that and my buppy pillow. But other than that it's not that bad. Dr. Medina is awesome. I love my results. My confidence level went up the roof. I am not wearing clothes I have not thought of wearing for years. I made plans to come back this year for round 2, I am going to have more lipo for more definition on my waist and a little more Fat transfer on my hips and breast lift and lipo of my double chin but I might have to push that back for either the end of this year or next year due to unforeseen circumstances. But good luck and you will love your results too.

I forgot to mention that I stayed in DR for 12 days total. I arrived on Sunday night and I had all my consults and lab works on Monday and then my surgery Tuesday. Then I stayed at My Home recovery house and left the following Friday. If you have plans to go next year maybe we can go together. Good luck.

Thank you so much for this information. It is helpful and nice to know that someone else from California travelled there. I need a tummy tuck and muscle repair in order to tighten up my waist. It's definitely a lot looser due to my pregnancy. I am afraid of getting a tummy tuck and BBL. how were you able to sit/lay down since you did both? I am also afraid of coming back to the states with my drain. Was there a reason she didn't remove it before you left? Did you have any complications with the healing of your TT? I have read some girls had minor infections - but nothing serious. Sorry for all the Questions! I'm just interested in getting a TT but am afraid.
I'm glad your confidence is through the roof! I hope to get the same feeling you have. You look great. This makes me more excited! If for whatever reason I feel a need for a round 2 after my first surgery with her, we should definitely go together!
March 5, 2017
I'm thinking I should just do my BBL for now and then Tummy tuck next year. And we can plan to go back together! :)
