I know the process, the steps to take, and what to expect. Is it wrong to want more?!

I will update when I meet her personally but her email was extremely attentive for my preparations in these months before surgery. And her assistant is extremely friendly!

Massages

Your body has suffered a major trauma and your body will retain water in the areas with the most trauma ( lymph trauma) I.e. Tummy tuck. The lymphatic system is thrown out of wack and in order to release the fluids the lymphatic system needs to get running again. So a trained lymphatic massage therapist will push the fluid in the proper way it needs to go and open the channels of the body that are blocked. I believed in my massage therapist the moment she explained this to me because I was having some additional pain on my right hand side where the abdomen is almost as though I had strained myself more on that side and for her to be able to tell me of my pain before I had to mention it said she knew what my body was going through.

When you say "open the channels of the body that are blocked", do you mean the way in which the massage is preformed or by actually making an incision from which to drain the fluid?
I'm asking because I've read a few reviews where some girls have mentioned that their massage therapist lanced the area where the drain was because it had closed up to quickly.

When I say open the channels here in America I mean by massage. They only seem to reopen the drain sites with the massage therapist in the DR.

Complications: You can have surgery in the states and have complications I just say to take the necessary steps to prepare yourself for surgery ( including if there are complications). My PCP said that they do these surgeries In other countries like the DR like riding a bike, they have way more experience considering they do up to 5 surgeries a day where as the doctors here(unless your dr. Miami) only do that amount in a couple of weeks. Complications come with the territory if you sign up you accept it can happen but Duran is skilled in her craft it's okay to put your trust in her.

I spent in total about $8000 including airfare. It's a hard journey to take alone I would either find a surgery buddy or ask a friend to go with you, I had a surgery buddy who is also my bestfriend and she had my back when things were unsteady and if you find a surgery buddy you can both lean on each other for support. Not knowing Spanish is not a problem, find a recovery house who has English speaking staff and let them be your first line of defense. NOW TO TALK ABOUT THE PAIN: I've had people say it's not that bad and I've had people say it's the worst and I went over there with Percocet 5s and those did nothing for me I was thankful that my friend had Percocet 20s cause the pain is excruciating!!! You have to keep yourself medicated the first few days otherwise you will drown in pain! Just note if your sleep your not in pain so keep yourself sleep only waking to eat and use the restroom and clean yourself (this is not a game).

You look AMAZING...I'm so happy that all went well. Did you wake up during your procedure. I hear a lot of girls say that Cipla is Hell and they hated to stay over night. Did you hire a nurse, and how was your treatment at the recovery house and also how long did stay in the DR? A lot of questions I know, lol! Walkiria told me I need to lose 30lbs that was disappointing, but I'm working hard towards it though.
