Hola, tummy tuck and Vaser Liposuction

I had my surgery on June 13, 2019 with Dra Jaqueline Miranda and her husband Dr. Robert Langlands in Santiago, Dominican Republic. They are amazing surgeons. Recommend by my
sister-n-law who lives there. I did a lot of research about these procedures since I knew I wanted to do it.
I’m 44 years old, a mom of two kids. I have always taken care of myself by eating healthy and doing daily workouts. But I couldn’t get rid of my belly fat.
I knew that part of it was due to family heritages. I decided to make a difference in my life so had a conversation with my husband and he supported me in anything I decided to do. So I did and I don’t regret it at all.

Let me tell you a little bit of the preparation process before I continue to describe my post- op.
I met with Dr Jaqueline Medina and Dr Robert Langlands on June 3. They have their office at the Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago HOMS. Contact: (809)241-2300. They answered all my questions, told me about the whole process and how much it was. She told me that it will be good to do the surgery soon and have a longer recovery time before I leave to the USA. We agreed on June 13 as the surgery date. That same day she send me to get blood work done, a scan of my upper body and a cardiac exam. Those 3 exams are not included with the surgery price so I had to pay around $240 for them and expend a whole day at the hospital to get them done. I came back June 7 to the hospital to pick up my results and bring them to Dr Miranda for our final consultation before surgery. She checked them and took pictures of my naked body as well. Gave me the list of medications that I will need for after the surgery and other preparation. I already have her cell number so if I had more questions just text her. I left her office confident that I’m in good hands.

Feeling good but nervous at the same time. My beautiful sister-n-law drove me to the hospital and we arrived at 7am to Dr Miranda’s office and her wonderful assistant Eyleen took us to the surgery area of the hospital so I can start getting prepared. I laid on the hospital bed and see both Dr Miranda and her husband Dr Langlands come in and ask me to stand up and draw on me to point out the areas where they where going to perform the surgery.
They took me to the surgery room and Dr Miranda was holding my hand and making me feel comfortable and relax while the anesthesiologist was doing her job on me. Next thing, I remember waking up feeling drowsy but no pain yet. They took me to my private room where my sister—n-law was waiting for me. I spend the night at the hospital and well looked after by the nurses. The next day around 10am my Doctors came in and checked me, told me everything went well and I’m good to be discharge from the hospital but before I go they put a faja on me. (See picture of the box).
