Yes, I had to stay over night in the hospital because of how much the doctor ended up doing. I lost a lot of fluids. 10 days post op and im still very swollen and still draining some. My body hurts very bad and I cant bend down to pick up things or anything. Very bruised still as well. My front had closed up and I need someone to suck some fluid out of my stomach with a syringe. My massage therapist in Colombia was supposed to but "forgot." And I cant seem to find someone who will. Going for my first drainage massage tomorrow, we will see how it goes. 4x the cost than the ones in Colombia. I also did hyperbaric chamber treatments when I was out there which helped with that burning feeling. I recommend them. Here in the states they are pretty pricy $500 for 5. In Colombia I think I got 5 for like $50. Anyway hows it going? Do you like your results? I will like mine when my stomach and back aren't so swollen.

Hey there! I also slept at the hospital and I think that was the best decision ever. My body still hurts but no as bad as the first days of course. The pain is bearable, I'm not taking pain meds anymore. The bruising are kinda yellowish but I have some body parts that are still very blackened (arms, outer tights and lower back) So yesterday I went to remove my stitches (sweet relief) and did my first lymphatic massage session (now I have 9 to go). It didn't hurt and I felt very good right after. The therapist said that I'm still swollen, on my lower back and abdomen mainly. I like what I see so far but - as you - I'm hopeful to have more dramatic results once the swelling subsides!

Yes same about the swelling. I had my first massage in the states yesterday . Ugh nothing like Colombia and not nearly as much relief. I'm worried that I'm gonna be even more swollen and stuff because it's not as much relief. I have some fluid in my stomach I need out ASAP. Happy healing !

I'm going to have Sx with dr plazas in 10 days! Super excited, super nervous. I picked this doc because I work with a girl who had gone to him and she looks amazing. One of my Guy friends sister went to Dr plazas and she looks awesome. I contacted 15 doctors in Colombia. Got quotes from almost every single one of them. Did research on about every one of them. I talked to at least 6 RH. I didn't want to stay in an RH at first but it's the best place to get post op care.

I am soooo nervous! My biggest fear is looking worse than before surgery. However, I am soooooo excited to have the body I have always dreamt of having. For my outside beauty to match my inner beauty. Are you with Plazas as well?

Anybody who had Dr. Plazas, what recovery house did you stay at? And did his assistant suggest one to you? I have heard the ladies speaking of mostly three, Alba Diaz, sophisticated solutions (something like that) and beautisleep rh.. and there has been bad reviews for all of them. So I'm not sure which to choose. The one that his assistant suggested, their website isn't very helpful and she wants me to send over a $500 western union deposit... idk about that.
