TT/BA LIPO Back and Waist - Dominican Republic, DO

Hello Ladies,

I am a single mother and have been wanting to get my body back after my pregnancy for years (I am 5'1 127lbs I have a small frame but no real shape or curves). I have been lurking around this and other websites for about 2 years now and have finally decided to take the risk and do this. I decided to go with Dr. Robles in the DR after reading many of the reviews here on RS and on MMH by all the wonderful ladies who have been so gracious as to share their experience. So far here has been my experience:

I emailed Dr. Robles office and was contacted by her patient Coordinator Laura the same night requesting pictures. I sent the pictures that night and 2 days later Laura contacted me letting me know that Dr. Robles believes that a TT/BA and Lipo of both the back and waist would be too much, that she would do either the back or the waist but not both for $6000.00. After going back and forth with Laura about my health history and assuring her I am in very good health, she agreed that if my Test Results look good upon arrival that Dr.Robles "May" do both and that would be an additional $400, making my new quote $6400.00 (Again she made sure I was clear that the additional Lipo area is at the discretion of Dr. Robles and depends entirely on if she decides I am healthy enough to have the extended surgery). This honestly made me feel very comfortable, Dr. Robles is more concerned about what's best for her patience health wise and not just collecting more money. I do however really pray that she finds me in great health and will do the extra area...LOL

Laura sent me a list of a few things I should bring however, I have seen several post from other Ladies that have much longer (Thorough List) I would really appreciate it if someone could send me a list of items they took when going down there for surgery. Also I asked Laura to guarantee that I am staying at "Virginia's Recovery House" since so many people had great things to say about it. I would also love to hear any reviews on other recovery houses if anyone has any. I have 3.5 months before surgery....Let the journey begin! :-)

I got my final confirmation on my surgery so its official March 10th I am going on the operating table :) It seems like Dr. Robles does all of her BA's through the areola, however that idea scares me! I don't want to lose any sensation in my nipples as a result of the surgery. I asked Laura if its possible to have my incision done under the breast or under the arm. Im still waiting to hear back from her about that

Ok Ladies I finally heard back from Laura about my BA she said Dr. Robles can do an incision under the breast or under the arm if I would prefer that to the areola. So that makes me very happy :) I have been following a few if the ladies who have just come back from having Tummy tucks with Dr.Robles and their scars are so amazing! Its making me more convinced im making the right choice by going to her. NOW The down side of my update, my job has be come more and more demanding lately and I am going to have to push my surgery back to May 12th, so that is kind of a bummer, im so ready to get this done :(
