WORTH IT$3,500
Want to be able to look in a mirror and see a better me. Have considered for so long. My personal goal to have a flat stomach, butt fat transfer, liposculpture of waist and back flanks. Would like breastlift but depending on cost might wait. I am feeling anxious n at same time excited.
I have a question, do you really have an epidural instead of general anesthia with Dr. Robles. I sent for a quote today but if general anesthia is not used but have to look elsewhere. Would appreciate any tips, experience and results.
Also the drains, r they as painful as some say and how does it feel when they are taken out.

Have only heard and seen great things regarding Dr. Robles. Just sent in my pics and was quoted $5200. Great thing is my husband travels to the DR frequently because he works with the Yankees and he is in charge of their complex in Santo Domingo so I can travel with him when I actually get a confirmed date. I have been there myself twice before. Is anyone looking to see Dra. Robles around the end of June 29 or 30, 2013 where are the dates I am looking for now. All the comments on this site are so informative, not looking for to dealing with more pain, but as my niece say, "beauty is pain". Praying for all of you that are about to go thru this experience and also for those of you that already had it done, speedy recovery. Go girls.

i'm sorry i don't have any info to help you with your Robles questions and concerns just want to wish you the very best on your journal.

I'm waiting on a quote back from Dr Robles. Good luck to you!

Have u got ur quote from Dr. Robles yet. Wrote to LuvMiNieto and she says her swelling is brutal but worth it, she is on her way home, but as of yesterday still had in drains. I wonder if they send u home with them. I hope not. Keep in touch. We can get each other spirits up and finally cross over to the flat side.
March 11, 2013
Definitely. Yes I got my quote back then I asked a couple questions waiting on a reply to my questions then I need to decide.
March 13, 2013
Have you got an answer back yet. I wrote to Laura with some questions on Sunday and I haven't heard back anything. I know they r busy, looks like they need more employees (just sayin n keeping it real). Let me know when you decide. Hoping all is going well.
March 13, 2013
She just answered me a few minutes ago said min days required to stay is 10 days. Now asking her another question. To see if I don't do the butt lift will they do thigh lift instead.
March 13, 2013
Maybe then she can answer my question too hopefully. When r u planning to so your sx. I asked for July 4 or 5 don't know if that is a holiday for them, I don't think so. Maybe we can meet up in DR recovery house if our dates r around the same time. I already started with the vitamins, just have to buy supplies and get surgery "date". I wish I could have a bl with implants but I she doens't do all these proc. together. Let me know what day you pick. Good luck to both of us. Happy healing, happy girls.
March 13, 2013
I was hoping May so I can start recovering before it gets to hot. I have been talking to another girl she is planning July 16 I believe her name is ready4dr she is so sweet and a really great person to talk to!!

Good morning to the beautiful ladies like me that...
Good morning to the beautiful ladies like me that want to look better. Has anyone had a spouse/significant other who is/was opposed to going to DR for this kind of surgery. My husband thinks I am absolutely crazy even though he would be there with me while I had surgery. He just does not trust going to Recovery House because you hear so much about how sick you can get from food, water (I know because he almost died after eating something in DR which bacteria went into his blood system). Luckily, we had just come back to US and he had the best doctors and was saved, but the experience has he dreading my surgery. How can I calm his nerves so that I can stay sane. Any suggestions?

You hear people in the states going to restaurants and dying from eating food. I will purchase bottled water to drink if they do not have it.
March 7, 2013
That's what I say. I'm just going to make a decision on what I have researched. I have to get my mind ready for the pain. Already sent the health questions in and Laura said they look excellent so far. I don't know if I mentioned this before but I am 58 and that might be what my husband is scared of. I feel young but the body does need more time to heal than someone younger so I feel and understand him. Really good talking to you. Good luck

I'm gonna be 46 yrs old. I have it set in my mind I'm doing this for me!! I have spent so many years doing for everyone else and doing without clothes and whatever else so my kids can have things. I really want dr Robles but you have to stay like 12 days if info to Dr Pantoja in MX you only have to stay 5 days afterwards. It would still be cheaper to go to Dr Robles even with the longer stay. I'm so confused. Still waiting on quote from Robles office. Show him all the girls on here that have gone to DR and everything has been fine.
March 7, 2013
Yes, I will. I would have had this done years ago, except for the financial. I am finally in a place where I can do for me and that's what I want. I wish you all the luck. I said I wanted to go June 29 for surgery June 30 but still waiting for them to confirm.
March 7, 2013
I would have gone years ago myself but now in a good financial place myself. I just have a hard time leaving my family for that many days. I was just sending emails back and forth to the Dr office in MX planning on May. I love the work of both Dr but did you see the cut line on luvminieto she had dr robles holy crap it was really good!!! Best of luck to you!!
March 8, 2013
Yes, actually she her brother and my daughter are brother and sister on father's side. I have been seeing all of her posts and the you are right, cut was really good. Dr. Robles is the one I'm leaning towards, but I'm gonna wait for Dr. DeSantos, see the diff in price. When in May r u planning. I said June but I'm not sure yet, depends on what is available. I have heard she is really booked fast. Hope you get your date in May and may our cut line be great!
