Getting Better but My Skin is Forever Damaged

My body is looking better but I'm still very swollen. I feel like ill be trapped in a faja for the rest of my life. Yes I look good in clothes and yes its an improvement from my before pics but its only bcs I have on a faja sucking the life out of me 24/7. If I eat 1 morsel of food or drink an ounce of anything, my belly protrudes very badly and is even visible in a faja. The scabs from my burns are all gone but my skin will be forever damaged from Dr Robles carelessness. And these burns DID NOT come from a faja. Burns from your faja look like carpet burns. My burns were very deep and I wasn't even allowed to wear my faja almost my entire trip in DR.
I have been seeing a PS in the US and he suggests smart lipo when I'm 6 months PO to my upper and lower abdomen.

I Know I've Said it Before But I'll Tell you Again!
bnceback2014April 24, 2014
I'm in love with my massage therapist Erick Freukes. Today was my 4th massage and every single time I go, it's something different. Today was the first day he actually worked on rotating my legs and twisting and turning them which is a great thing because it feels weird to my incision to try to sleep on my side. But with the movements and stretches he did with my legs today, I think I feel more confident that I can sleep on my side.
The back massage was more intense and it hurt really bad but I know it's necessary. Even my sister said she noticed a difference when she touched my back because it doesn't feel as hard. I'm so happy I was able to find the best massage therapist in St. Louis. I don't see how people go through this type of surgery and don't do massages. It's a must to feel normal again but the key is finding someone who knows what they're doing and Mr. Freukes is a master at his craft. My saving grace every Monday and Wednesday.

Those burns were/are bad happy they are healing and you are finding relief with your massages. I don't know what to say about Robles her reputation has really plummeted, some of these DR PS have no accountability SMH

Sorry to hear about your burns however God can turn any situation around mighty quickly. With that being just continue to keep your head up. I declare that your end results come out better than what you started out with!!!! AMEN!!!! Stay Blessed!!!
April 30, 2014
Thank you for sharing your story. She is one of the doctors I had planned a consult with. Hope your wounds heal fully soon.

Sorry to hear about what happened to you but burns can happen in the USA too, I had horrible burns in Miami from dr Salama and another girl got burned too almost as bad as I did.
May 1, 2014
Yes, anything can happen anywhere but burns are totally unavoidable if you're a good surgeon and are careful and have mastered your technique.

@ 150mmlover thanx for sharing your experience. I have 5 more months of preparing before I see ms. Robles. As I have research Robles is an excellent doctor however I am really concern about what has happen to my sis bncback2014 burns. Thanks again for sharing your experience as I am stilling praying continuing with my journey with Dr. Robles. And bncback2014 I am pray for you honey. Remember what your name stands for to BOUNCE BACK with your health and healing boo.

I won't debate with anyone on my blog about my experience and Robles being an "excellent" doctor. Until you have gone through what I've gone through your definition of what an excellent doctor would not be Robles. It's quick for people say this kind of stuff when they have gone through not having a working drain for 2 days, sitting in uncomfortable ass chairs in a hallway for hours at night waiting on a follow up appointment and paying hundreds of dollars in oxygen chamber therapies and multiple creams to heal your body from a mistake someone else made. You just better pray you don't have complications bcs the staff is not organized or prepared to take care of you when something goes wrong. I'm finding so many girls that have had my same experience. I don't know if I turned a blind eye when I was researching thinking that won't be me but indeed it was. Keep your eyes open and don't be blind to signs.
May 1, 2014
Your absolutely right, this is your journey your blog. I hope you heal quickly
May 1, 2014
I agree with you 100%! The burn and the disregard is enough to make you NOT an excellent doctor. Get better soon sis
May 1, 2014
I know I turned a blind eye..... They have not been so they're eyes are closed... Go ahead on we are not stopping u by all means I really pray their experience dont come out like ours.
May 1, 2014
Exactly what I said Dukes. You better pray and I did pray and had everyone else praying for me. You can't guarantee you won't have complications. But if you do, be prepared to be screwed.
May 1, 2014
@ Bncback2014 and Duke. I apologize for the words I used. "Excellent. Doctor". I think sometimes things come out wrong with commucating through text and typing. Both of you ladies I follow the journey you had. Our health is the most important factor here. I would never dream of coming on either blog to cause any problem. I will continue to follow u both.

I get that all the time b/c im blunt but ur ok babe. Im not mad at ya newmeb4iam30

I'm not sure if she if she has mastered her technique but in all fairness she is a good doctor. At least from most of the RS posted reviews. It just happen that your journey wasn't as successful as theirs. Please don't take this statement the wrong way but you did your research and found her successful rate high enough to go on with your journey with her.
I know that every person heals differently.
Just know that there is a wonderful transformation underneath all this pain.
Please keep us posted. Ty for sharing your journey.
May 3, 2014
Thank you for your tip. I will keep in mind and also many who is following your journey will as well. Though I'm not going with this Dra, I pray that my journey ends in a better note. Stay safe...
May 4, 2014
How are you going to say she's a good doctor??? I'm confused by your statement. Have u had surgery with her? I don't think so. I have had surgery and experienced the Robles way. I have experienced burns, shitty aftercare and [RS bleep] follow up appointments. As I said b4 and I'll say it again. This is my blog of my experience. I don't give a [RS bleep] if there's a million happy patients. I got fucked over. Period point blank from the hospital, the recovery stay, and the aftercare and clearly the wounds on my body. Please please please stay off my [RS bleep] talking about Robles is a good doctor.
May 5, 2014
No problem yes you are correct this is your story, your journey, your blog. Sorry to offend. Best success in your recovery!

Wow!!! Seems painful. I had a different experience with a different doctor. When I arrived home the next day I came down with a fever and persisted for the weekend. I contacted my doctor and he said it was normal after all I had a boobs, tummy tuck, liposuction and fat transfer to butt. I thought he migor be right, the next day my fever was 103 and I went to my doctor. I had a staph infection and eventually wound up hospitalied with MRSA. Many people say this doctor is excellent, I have had a different experience. He dismisses my concerns with the job he did. We all have different experiences, we share here to hopefully vent and help others... i hope you are feeling better, I am still recovering from infection that I was told I was days away from dying and my doctor said the fever was normal.

Burns Almost Healed
bnceback2014April 23, 2014
Well. I go for my 4th massage today and even though they are painful as hell, I feel so much better after it's over! I took a shower for the first time today and I feel like a new woman!! That hot water felt like sex!! LOL!! I am $200 in and still on the hunt for my stage 2 faja. My first one does nothing for me anymore. I ordered a large and I couldn't even think about getting into that thing. The XL will be delivered today. It's a prada faja which I was told by Virginia at the recovery house that those are the best. But I'm now hearing that fajate and Salome are the best. Anywho, I feel like I'm rambling.
I was told by Laura that Robles wanted to send me a different cream for my side. They asked for my address some time ago. When I whatsapp'd Robles about the cream today, she tells me I don't need it. They stay on some [RS bleep]! My swelling is still to the point where I only look good in a faja but I'm told that is normal so I'm just trying to be patient and hoping a tighter garment will help me out. I guess that's all for now.

Why would they call to ask ur address anyway. They are so fake. I got ur message about the ps but u erased all that info. U can post here to ask a ps. Someone will respond. Everybody is not against us for going abroad...
April 23, 2014
Girl cause Laura and Robles are full of shenanigans. Didn't even have the decency to tell me they weren't sending the cream anymore.
April 23, 2014

April 23, 2014
