33 Y/o New Yorker/RN with 2 Kids TT, LPS,BBL - Dominican Republic

Good morning Dolls!
I am so late in the game at this point but I will try to catch up in time for my surgery. I contacted Dra. Robles October of 2015 after speaking to a great RN that looks super and praised DRA. Robles. I went online and submitted my request for consult. I received an email with details on the procedures and how to submit my consult pics. I am 5'5", 138lbs. I used to be 238lbs before my gastric bypass 3 years ago- So my journey is a long one. Once I got the quote, I was going back and forth to see if I could do a breast lift and implant instead of the liposculpture. Dra. Robles assistant helped to get more information and she was able to let me know that the procedures would be too much at one time. There was nothing I could do ????- But I respect her opinion and I always want to be safe.
I paid my $300 in December 2015 via Xoom. Its a $10 fee to pay with Xoom now. Before it was less but I guess the prices changed.
I have been speaking about getting my procedures to close family and friends. When they found out it was DR- They were not happy. I get it because we hear so many scary stories of bad jobs and deaths. As an RN its harder because I'm supposed to be more critical- But for YEARS I have known dozens of people who go with no problems. I trusted my RN friend and Dra. Robles is a member of the Sodocipre, which makes her board certified.
I have been completing the iron and B12 and Folic Acid. When I went for my CBC in December my Hgb was 10, my Vit. D was low, my Ferretin was 5....I'm going to need IV iron infusions. The oral iron made me soo constipated that I had to quite it for 2 weeks. It was killing me.
On 1/18/16 I'm going to see about an Appt to get my infusions. I only have 10 days left before I fly out!!
I have asked for a list of things I should pack for my trip on this forum. Hopefully someone can help me. I am going to go to Forham Rd tomm. to pick up my faja. I don't know where to get the ointments from....I would get those too.
So far I am optimistic, excited, and nervous. Hopefully, I can meet a barbie from here on there way there 1/27.
I will keep you guys updated on my journey.

I'm super excited and nervous. So much I am learning in the short time that I have been on this site. I was able to get a much better list together from one of our RS members (thank you!). I need to schedule a lymphatic massage...Don't know where to begin with getting that arranged. I anticipate that I will be swollen and can't fit my clothes so I know that the massages can help drain me faster. I won't be buying any faja's until I get back to NY. I want to make sure I get my size. I have decided I will just buy another one from Dr Robles.
In the meantime, I have a bunch of items that I still do not have on my list so I will be out running around to get them.
I am seeing my PCP for another RX for a CBC, my refill for Percocet, and to let her know about my procedure. I will be at the infusion center tomorrow for my IV iron consult. Hopefully, they give me my iron infusion this Sarurday or Monday....
I have started to give out contact information just in case while I am away to DR.
I am so nervous and excited....Laura has been real nice and I am hoping for the best because I am trusting Dr Robles and her team to treat me like how I treat my patients-Gentle and with respect.
Question- Can anyone tell me who has been at the RH- Is there wifi? Did you have to pay?
How is the cellular reception in the hospital for calls?
Do they give you lockers?
How do you get up from bed- Can you request to be propped up?
How long does it take before you can get out of the bed?

So I went to the hematologist on Friday and my oral iron has not been working. I was given a prescription for IV iron since 12/23 but the oncology/hematology center never called me for an appt. I finally reached out to them last week and they pretended that they never received the prescription. Well, thank GOD I kept a copy of the prescriptions and I forwarded it to the manager. I saw the MD on Friday and my infusion is on Tuesday. I do not think that my hgb will go up in time for my surgery on Thursday, so I have pushed my flight back to leave on 2/1/16.
I sent Dr. Robles the updated copy of my itinerary. Hopefully she got it. I am excited and I want this experience to be a great one. I am looking to get my boobs done later on this year, hoping all goes well.
