After
WORTH IT$5,250
So I stayed in the Dominican Republic for 14 days total. Unfortunately I had to leave with my drain in. I was still producing 100cc of fluid the day I left. The day I left I did not order wheel chair service, OMFG! That was a big mistake. I felt good enough to walk, but didn't realize what I was in for. It was like a damn adventure, trying to get back home. By the time I made it home I was swollen to the max!
I kept my drain in for 15 days, after it was producing under 100cc ,I was so done with that drain. I took it out slowly myself, I bandage the hole up really good and took a shower. Nothing happened. I didn't die! Anyway, I instantly felt better. I endure swell hell on my ankles and feet for 2 weeks and that went away. I did not purchase a stage 2 faja. I kept the 1st one and have had it taken in a couple times, but honestly I don't really wear it. Me and faja don't really get along. I went back to work after 3 weeks, the sad part is my boss who is a Caucasian male, never asked me how was my vacation, none of the guys really asked me and I was gone for 3 weeks, but whatever. I just celebrated my 18th year with this company and they still treat me like [RS bleep]! But I make good money, so I'm hanging in there. Anyway I'm loving the way my procedures and body turned out.

Glad you made it back safely Doll. Continue to hang in there and don't even sweat them jerks. You still look beautiful regardless if they don't acknowledge your changes. Happy healing!!!!

My Home recovery
I chose My Home for my after care, during my research I chose them and reserved a spot with them ahead of time for $75. They responded quickly when I message them and I am glad I chose them. Here's why.....when I showed up on Tuesday night they were waiting with open arms. I forgot when I got out of the airport at the Dominican there was someone waiting for me with my name on a sign, and I was very happy to see him. Ok. So, once I got into the house, they fed me right away. I felt good about my choice. I left there on Wednesday and came back on Thursday afternoon after surgery. From the time I was there, I felt like a priority, everyone there was always concerned about making sure you take your medicine on time and making sure you eat, and will cater to your every need. I enjoyed the food, but it's not what I normally eat, so get ready for plenty of rice and bread. It was good to me. Most girls there would order out if they didn't like the food. I wayyyy over packed. My Home advice you to bring your own supplies, so i did. Which I never used anything they wanted me to bring, so I was kind of annoyed about that. They have allll the supplies you need there. I left a lot of things there. I stayed 14 days and was given $75 back, for what, i still don't know, but I didn't dispute it. They did have a holiday on May 1st is Labor day I think. Anyway, plan your stay according to your needs. My Home has real hospital beds, which I loved, the food was a 3.5 stars, but the women there will cater to you. They will clean your drains, wipe your but, dry your tears, and cook and clean all day for you. All without a frown on their face. So forget what you heard about people stealing, I kept a lock on my suitcase but I never felt like anyone was going to take anything from me. I felt very safe there. They have a secure automatic gate, to keep the intruders out. They made sure I was on time to all my appointments, which I had 3 appointments with Almonte.

5 weeks post op
It's been a long while. I haven't forgotten about everyone. I just been enjoying life. Ok. I was supposed to have surgery Wednesday April 20th, but the hospital was full. So instead I stayed at the recovery home on Tuesday night and went to the hospital Wednesday afternoon to stay the night. Almonte came to see me that night and marked me since I was the first surgery at 6am, she told me I didn't have enough fat for BBL, which is ok, because I really didn't need a BBL. She refunded me $400 for it. Surgery day went well, I took the little blue pill and don't remember anything after that. I woke up and received really good pain medicine for the 24 hours I stayed in the hospital. After that it was whack medication, but I really didn't need anything. The pain was minimal. I had lipo on my sides, and outer thighs, along with a extended tummy tuck with muscle repair.


I had two c sections births. My children are now adults- and as you can imagine I am over this pouch I carry hanging in front of me.
I am scheduled for Dra in November and I am so happy to read your review.
I hope all is well and congratulations on your ability to embrace your courage and change.
