This was a long and much needed journey for me if you've read my other reviews I've been researching for a long time Now I'm finally on the flat side. My journey isn't over yet I have a few more things that I'm gonna have work on but for now let me tell you about my experience with Dra Medina.She is very sweet and beautiful with such a happy spirit. Any questions or concerns that I've had before and after surgery she always respond in a timely manner. 1 or 2 months before surgery she sent me a itinerary so when I arrived. Letting me know that Georgr her driver would pick me up from the airport and take me to the clinic for labs etc. So when I arrived at the airport it was kind of confussing there were 3 long lines and everything was in spanish the workers dont speak english so you just hav to figure it out.Good thing I printed my tourist card I went to the correct line on the right and just went with the flow. While exiting the airport George was standing there holding a sign with Dra Medina's name on it at the top with my name written on it. so we were on our way. My phone did not work in DR so I had to use WIFI while I was there and George had WIFI in his cab so I was able to contact my family. when I arrived at the clinic its like the staff already knew who I was they all treated me with hugs I was able to meet Dra Medina and her staff I got my labs done, talked to a psychiatrist, and went to the hosipital to get Xrays. when I got back Dra Medina pulled me in the office and let me know that I wasnt going to be able to have a full Mommy Makeover because my Hemo dropped to 13 and it needed to be at least 13.8 but I wasn't tripping better safe than worry. The clinic was full so I had to stay at the recovery house that night I didn't use Myhome because me and my buddy were staying at another RH. The day of surgery I was told to be there at 6am so George was there to pick me up at 5:15am when we arrived at the clinic I was the first one there . So the wait was on more people started to come and I wasn't the first surgery of the day. so when it was my turn I go my IV Dra Medina came to mark me up I took my Blue pill and was taken into surgery. I wasn't awake for the epidural or the surgery I did wake up for a brief second saw my eyes covered and went back out. I was taken to my room after surgery and Dra Medina came to check on me I had a over night nurse Nubia which didn't speak English but she was great I downloaded my translator app and we kept each other company. I wasnt in any pain at all and had on a Faja I couldn't see my body but I already noticed the difference. The next morning my nurse helped wash me up Dra Medina checked on my I got to see my new waistline and small stomach got my first massage and then released from the clinic. I was told I had it easy because I had NO PAIN for the first 3 day on day for I had a little pain and was uncomfortable so I stated to take 1 pain pill a day. Dra Medina checked on me everynight via What's app to make sure I was ok I had a follow ups with her every three to four days while I was there to get my bandages changed. My first week I couldn't sleep to save my Life I Felt like the Princess and the Pea I was so miserable. after 1 week I got my stage 2 faja and it made things a lot better I was able to sleep because the compression helped me be comfortable. I stayed in DR for 15 days when I got home I wasn't able to sleep in my bed so I slept in my recliner. I went back to work 3 weeks post op because week 2 I was still hunched and very stiff.I am now. 4 weeks PO and feeling good loving my body and the stiffness is almost gone. Later Dolls

I just came back from her onbtge 1st. She cut 20lbs of fat off of me. Im very happy with my results , but they are on a serious hustle over there. She tells everybody their hemo dropped and that you need a round 2. Especially if u are overweight. They hustle u on everything. But she did do a good job on my tummy tuck. Im un sure if i will return at this point but im pleased.
April 4, 2016
Congrats and I hope you have a speedy recovery. BTW I kinda figured that's what is going on because I'm like damn everybody hemo is low. But as long as your ok and you like your results that's all that matters. Take care

Keep us posted

She gave us money back for not doing my butt and back. But everybody thought i got me butt done im like no its natural. She just took so much fat off that it looks big now. I still have my drain i . So they tell u to walk and i di that but they dont tell u the more active u are the more and longer u drain. The medication and the supply list is all crap u dont need 5 percent of that stuff.
April 4, 2016
Really, thats not ok at all.. Lie about your hemo ?? Why if she gives the money back? So you can come again? But wouldn’t be more beneficial for her if she did everything she said she would in order to keep the money and have good reviews. I dont like con artist. SMH.. Im scheduled with her in june.. Is it maybe if you are a little overweight its more of a danger because its more of an invasive procedure so your hemo drops more drastically during surgery? Was that what she told you? Im sorry Im just trying to understand.
April 4, 2016
No love thats not what she said.. see she only gave me 500 back i thought it was 6 but she have it to my husband. Then he asked so is it a discount when we come back for round 2 she said no. So it benefits her for u to pay twice the same price instead of once. You do the math i paid for 4500 for everything and i only got a tummy tuck (which by the way she did amazingly good on me) i got 500 back so thats 4grand. Now when i come back it will be 4500 all over again. So instead of 1 4500 to do it all she is getting 8500 if i decide to come back. Honey it is a hustle for sure. But once she says that how many of us will take a chance and be like still do it. She even told me her anesthesiologist wouldnt do it because my hemo dropped. Trust me i know my ho was not low my hemo was damn near 14.0 , 7 weeks before i went and i was on serious iron and blood builders the whole time. I had 1 cycle from then to surgery. No way!!!! Its not only her , i spoke with 3 other girls that had 2 other doctors that had the exact same thing happen to them and they only got tummy tucks. 1 girl said her cousin had been there 4 times with dr Robles and he would only do 1 thing everytime and tell her her levels dropped from the plane ride. I call [RS bleep] all day long. But , its a very poor country and they are hustling at our expense and they do a good job .

Thats horrible! Im sorry… I hate con artist Im a military nurse Ive been around the world served in many poor countries. A lack of money should not equal criminal activity because thats exactly what your describing.. Criminal minds hunk like that hustler.. I dont like that. You can get a Tummy Tuck with Lipo Included in Miami for $3900! I have some digging to do. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me!
April 4, 2016
I didnt kno that they were that cheap in miami. See im a hairstylist have been for 25 years so i know all about a hustle. But there is nothing we can do. Who takes that trip for nothing. My body looks great but what if i was a person who didn't already have a figure or hips. It wouldnt be good for them. By they way im 5'3 186 before surgery . I was well within the 35. 0 bmi range. Just be aware of the hustle because it is real. Also coming back one of the girls from dr robles got money back also well when going through the airport in santo domingo they tried to confiscate her us money saying she had to much. I had to come in the room to be searched and i said oh no the limit is 10 thousand , you all cant stop the madness and then she just walked out but they had her in there so long trying to take her cash. Just be mondful of all the scams from every angle. Im telling u its sad but very very real.
April 9, 2016
Wow....thanks for the heads up. How did they know she had that much money anyway? They went through her bags!
April 9, 2016
Yes they had her in a room to search her because she still had a drain and could barley walk , so she couldnt walk through the medal detector. You just have to be up on everypart about ur travel there
