I am either about to make the worst mistake of my life or the best decision ever either way its a huge leap of faith that i keep telling myself i am strong enough to endure. My family is less than thrilled about my decision to go to the Dominican Republic to have major surgery but i am trying to block out the negativity and proceed strong in mind and spirit so i can come back home and strut around looking so damn good they will be forced to eat their words haha lets do this let the countdown begin

VITAMEDICA??
Worked2hardMay 16, 2016
Has anybody used this? Its not cheap about 100 dollars for the surgery set you are suoposed to take it 2 weeks pre op and 2 weeks post op. I know some doctors stateside provide it as part of their surgery package and the reviews ive read online seem positive. It has bromelain and arnica in it as well as some other anti inflammatory and natural healing components its a lot of money though anybody have a personal experience with this?

I heard of the name but not sure if it works. I know arnica works really well for swelling and bruising . I purchased 30x strength and it is relatively cheap. They go for 6-9 dollars per bottle.

So many complications
Worked2hardMay 31, 2016
So I am about three weeks from getting on this plane. In the past two weeks so many of Dr Mallols patients have come forward with issues that for the first time I am considering backing out. I dont have the time money energy or desire to end up in the hospital or worse. 3 kids and 50+ hours a week career that I cant risk . Datgurlme ends up in the hospital 3 weeks post op???? Van 101 having to see a stateside ps to get her healthy. Ms spoiled infection in her breast and now tlundquist has an infection that started in her breast as well. And the infamous Bey1115 has dropped hints about complications as well. I feel like im choosing to go on a surgical campout lol I have done countless hours of research on my doctor on D. R. On the recovery house the dos and donts ive got every damn vitamin cream salve pad and potion known to man ready to roll. So now what???? Anybody else feeling this way?? Ive always been kind of scared of this journey now thats heightened to terrified.

I had my surgery done on May 30, 2016. Yes I wanted to do stuff but I follow his orders n made out just fines

I would call and question it? Find out what is really going on... I know its their busy season so they are trying to accomadate many ppl right now... maybe there's a bug running around in the hospital or recovery house...who knows really. Why now and not before??? I know some people are having multiple things done at the same time witch increases your chance of infection and complication.

Right now I just feel fear for me, sadness for all the poor dolls that are down and out and relieved for the ones that are ok...

I didn't call Dr Mallol but I did inquire via whatsapp about this sudden rash of increased complication rate with his dolls. Just a very concerned inquiry. I wonder if he follows up. Hmm we shall see

One that still there can't leave her stomach opened n her breast got infected I feel bad for her I keep her in my prays thinking of all of u
June 1, 2016
I was thinking it was maybe multiple procedures at once too but datgurlme only got Lipo& bbl so Idk what it could be. Just go with your heart dolls & don't force it if your not feeling it.

So i did reach out to him and he did respond rather quickly he told me he couldnt talk personally about an individuals case because it was unethical and violates privacy rights because i asked him how tracy aka tlundquist was i knew she went for a second surgery to clean out and resuture her incisions. But he did tell me that if an infection came from the surgical procedure ie dirty equipment the patient would show syptoms within 48 and 72 hours none of these girls did that most often girls do something they shouldnt like try to do too much too soon and open their incision like van said or shower just a little like tlundquist did we think we make it through the first week and we are in the clear but this is major surgery no joke super strong commitment to doing everything by the book surgery i still believe he is a good surgeon and i have always believed post op care is just as important as picking a doctor maybe im wrong thats just my opinion

In USA all these infections would lead to a doc license at least being under investigation. Definitely seeming like a sterilization issue. Whether at the hands of the doc or at recovery house something is not adding up. Please be careful ladies!!

Your so rite @msnac I'm staying in the states dr I'm staying away from this been happening to a lot of girls my friend bey inboxed me n she was with mallol also and it's just not worth it if you'd can save the five thosamd to go out thee plus more money save it extra and stay were you live cause in New York n USA there are laws n limites and ppl that will stand up for us n you bet your ass in the states they will have a invesgation going on if all these women are getting infection belly opening breast infected come on now y are so many blind I was going out there until I saw all my friends suffering n coming back to states hav to spend thousands more dollars to fix what they did in dr wish all of you luck

I went to Mallol he's a excellent doctor. My friend and I had no complications. I had bbl, tt,,and lipo she had bbl n full body lipo. He checked up on us while we were in the recovery house and my arrival back in the states. I'm planning on going round 2 with him

June 1, 2016
Yes, I am definitely feel the same way. I am trying to be optimistic, but can't help to think the what ifs.
June 1, 2016
Well.my dear I kind of fell same way but I try to stay positive on this and planing to take strong antibiotic for any posible infection I believe everybody is at risk in any kind of surgical procedure but stay positive with your decision
