I'm a mother of four in my mid-forties. I've always taken care of my family and now I'm ready to take care of me. I'm 5'4 and currently 186 lbs. I've lost 18 lbs so far and I want to lose about 20 more before the surgery. I was hesitant to write a review because I have so many emotions about my upcoming procedures. I'm scheduled to have a tummy tuck, lipo and bbl with Dra Robles February 2017. I haven't discussed my decision with my immediate family because they have never been supportive and I don't want to deal with the negativity. I was so thankful to find Realself to see others journey. I paid my deposit and booked my flight. No looking back and no regrets!

You will be amazed on how great you will look. I was about your size and went from a tight 14 to a size 8/10 depends on the style. I am at 12 weeks as of today.

That's encouraging to read! My BMI is about 36 hope I don't get there and she not operate. Im really trying to lose weight to get it down in 3 weeks!

MY PS didn't discuss my BMI but I am 5' 3.5" and was 183 lbs and he didn't even ask me to loose weight. Good luck on the loosing weight I am actually going to talk with a trainer at our local gym and see if they can help me with loosing and toning.

She is. I've seen a lot of her work on Instagram. I chose her after seeing the results of comedian Carmen Barton. I recently saw a woman I know in my city that went to Robles and she looks AWESOME!

I had my tummy tuck on November 2nd, what a fabulous surgery with great results! You will do great being that you are working on getting as healthy as possible before your surgery. Congratulations and happy journey to the flat side :)

Day of treatment
Finally done!
I had my surgery this morning 7. I was the only person in the clinic when I arrived so I was the first to go back. I went to the back around 7:15. All my test were great. So they proceeded with the surgery. I was given the blue pill and approximately 10 minutes later I was taken to the back. I'm not sure of the time since I didn't bring a watch and my phone was in my bag.
I went to the OR and given medicine through my IV by the anesthesiologist. When I woke up I was back in my room. Dr. Robles and her staff has been great so far. I'm staying at Virginia's recovery house and I have enjoyed everything especially the food. I'm happy I will be back there tomorrow. The ladies that are recovering there have been so sweet.
If you're staying at Virginia's recovery she will ask you to pay $300 up front to order your supplies not given to you by Dr. Robles. Virginia told me if it's not needed then my money will be refunded.
I will try to post pictures tomorrow and doing updates.

I'm glad your surgery went well! Thank you for sharing your story. I've been searching for other women who are my size, to see how it works out for them. You and I have almost the exact height and weight. My surgery is about a month away.

You're welcome! It's been a little rough after the anesthesia wears off but Virginia and the staff will take excellent care of you. I'm glad I chose to stay at a recovery house. I don't think I would have been able to take care of myself alone. Make sure your hemoglobin is above 13 if you want multiple procedures. Dr Robles is very strict about that.

I'm glad your procedure went well. Question. Did you get the all inclusive package? Im thinking about going with Dr. Robles as well. Her package includes RH and transportation. Just wondering if you chose that option.

Umm i thought you pay for the recovery house in the package. Sometimes my people (and i say my people cause im dominican) want to be slick and buy it them self and charge you alot.Thank god i have family over there i could find out the prices quickly. Happy healings.
