Everything looks and feels better. I still have lumpiness all over my stomach but hopefully that goes away. I still wear my faja as much as I can. No complications so far just a little worried about some areas but I will discuss that with my doctor. Results are looking great so far.

Yeah I've read for the lumpiness it takes about 4-6 months to go away. I'm going to try and get more massages here where I live. N the part I'm worried about is some hard parts on my back right above my butt. The other place is my neck it looks a little weird. It has some lumpiness and it's awkward looking. I'm going to give it time to heal.

So nervous about the healing, I feel like I have so much to do and its right around the corner. Did you buy all your medical supplies in Mex or did you travel w/ them? I dont know if I should buy an extra faja w/ Dr. Arenas or on my own. Did you take your own?

Today I had my first lymphatic massage; I was given 3 free lymphatic massages with the bbl package. I thought this experience was going to be hell like when they drain my fluids but it was the opposite. They use a small device that looks similar to an ultrasound hand tool and it ejects heat. They rub gell on part of your body before they start and when the heat touches your bruises it feels great. It's uncomfortable in tender areas but it's "good pain." It's relaxing especially after all the torture you've put your body through. When they finish (about 35min) they send you upstairs to get your fluids drained. The building consists of several clinics that offer different services, which is convenient.

The nurse Liz met me upstairs to drain my fluids. I have to admit I've had nightmares about Liz haha. Her massages are painful and I honestly cried today because it hurt so bad. I hadn't taken any meds this morning so I think that made it worse. She took out my tubes, which are located at the top of your butt crack and that wasn't painful. The painful part is when she massages your sides down to the pubic area. It feels like you have fire ants under your skin and they're all biting you at once. When she was finished she sent me to get my faja fixed to a smaller size.

They charge you about $4 dollars to get it fixed. Now that I'm home I feel drained and have no strength in me to put my faja on. So I'll take a nap instead and take my street herbs lol.

No, the herb doesn't interfere with the meds. I'm only taking anti inflammatories now. I have a prescription for hard pain meds if I decide to buy them. I just feel using natural substances is better than an opioid. I haven't posted pics because I feel I don't see a big difference yet but if u want me to I will.

Did they provide you with the faja or did you buy your own and how much do they charge for massages? I am going to Arenas and am trying to gather as much info as possible.

January 2, 2017
Yes, they provide you the faja.
And the first 4 or 6 massages are free.
Dr, Arenas is really good you won't regret.

Thank you & one doll said it was cheaper to buy the supplies in Mexico and did you stay in a hotel or in their recovery house ?

Hi, can I ask when you say "carry cash", do you mean US dollars or pesos? Can you tip them in US dollars or do they prefer pesos instead? Just asking because the conversion from $1 USD would equate to more pesos. Hope I make sense
