Good evening lady. I have been lurking around on this website for over a year-and-a-half. I have been torn between four doctors Almonte Fatima, Duran, Yily and Robles. I finally scheduled my surgery with Walkiris Robles on May 27, 2016!!! Now I'm searching for a surgery buddy, I will be traveling alone coming from Hou, Tx.

Oh wow that's awful, thanks for the heads up on that recovery house. I don't think Dr. Robles use that recovery house though. How is your friend's recovery going?

She said she loves her butt... She couldn't get her breast done because she was losing too much blood. But she really was upset about the recovery home. She loves her body so far though

I'm looking to book with Dr. Robles. I need more information I'm nervous. What airline do you book with??? Did you go with the ViP package. I have to lose 15 pounds before surgery.
March 30, 2016
I booked through Spirit Airline my round trip ticket was only $429. I guess I did get the VIP package, it includes the procedures, post op garment, meds, testing, anesthesia, transportion to and from the airport, recovery house & hospital, 10 days in the recovery house. She told me for maximum results I should consider loosing weight, I'm 5'4, 160 lbs. I might loose 10 lbs no more then that. I have never been less than 150lbs in my adult life, I actually like my size now.

Make sure that hasn't changed because I had that date as well but I received a call from Dr. ROBLES assistant, said that day was a holiday she reschedule me to have surgery on the 27th., useless that was BS.

Rescheduled surgery date for August 24th 2016

mellowyellow35
I have decided to post some before pictures. I ABSOLUTELY HATE my stomach. I have gone through two ceserians so i have a some experiance on how much pain i will have. The surgeries I will be getting is a tummy tuck, liposuction on my back, flanks, bra area, waist and BBL. I may do lipo on my arms. I don't think I need much added to my butt but as you can see there are some areas that can use some extra projection. I wanted to do a breast lift with implants but Dr. Robles recommended that I do that surgical procedure in around 2 because she doesn't like to have patients on the table longer than 5 to 6 hours for safety purposes. I have already booked my flight with Delta Airlines and my bags are packed!!!! It is about to get real and I'm getting very nervous because time is really passing. I will be going alone. I have been waiting on this for over 10 years.

I'm getting extremely nervous now. Even though I know that i will be fine, GOD will protect me. Dr Robles does a great job and her assistant is really sweet. From reading the reviews Dr. Robles appear to be very nice and caring as well. The only thing i don't like is some of the Dolls on here said once you get out there, there are lots of communication barriers and after the surgery you don't see the Dr but once. Well I got my bags packed and i believe i have all of my supplies. Monday I am going to my Dr's office to get a CBC done so i can see where my Hemo level is. I usually don't have problems with low blood levels, its usually are 13.1 without taking iron. I have been taking my vitamins:
Iron
Vitamin C
Folic Acid
B-Complex

I paid a deposit with Robles for 12/2 but, I have a back Dr as well. Most reviews says that Robles is very conservative and does not listen to you wishes/ wants? Are you happy with your results, completely? And I worry about the 2 deaths she had. Was that a worry of yours?
