So, I wanted to give another update!! I will be making another review. I have decided I will be doing lipo to my full back and arms i may add some fat to my hips, not sure yet. I will be doing this with Dr. Blinsky. I had gotten a quote when I talk to him couple of months ago. I had sent him photos and he said he would be able to lipo my full-back my stomach and add some fat to the hips. He Even stated he would be able to revise my scar but if he does that on the same procedure he will not be able to take out that much fat. The only reason I had went with llorente was because blinsky stated he could not fix my belly button. So now I will be having to make another trip to Miami. I really love blinsky's work and I really love that he contacts you and speak with you instead of the coordinators. I will be scheduling to do this sometime in January 2017. To give my body some time. I did not go under when I did my bb. They put a numbing solution around bb area. So ladies I will be making another review for my liposuction procedure I will no longer be posting on this review!!

Recovery House!!

So when I changed my date for my surgery I had not had a caretaker because it was last minute. So new life had stated they had a caretaker that could watch me and she was a nurse. So, I was very skeptical because I've heard a lot of bad things about recovery houses. With my first surgery I had a caretaker named Magdalena she was amazing. She would check on me every 2 hours she would wake me up to take my medication she would assist me with taking off my garment so she could wash it. She was always bringing me fruit and Jell-o and made me breakfast lunch and dinner. She had a mini fridge in my room that was stocked with Gatorade ensure protein shakes and pineapple juice. My 2ND surgery i had rented a room on airbnb and had a caretaker come and take care of me for 3 days her name was stella and she was also amazing she as well did those things for me however i bought my own groceries. But she had also taken me to the mall to do some walking. So back to this Recovery House that is run by Ana/Anita now when she picked me up from the airport she did greet me with open arms. So, I felt great this may have been a good decision I made. So, then we also pick up another girl at the airport who is going to be my roomy. So we go straight to new life and we are waiting to do our labs and ekg and talk to the dr. So, after this i get done. My roomy is not around and ana is not around so I text ana where r u cuz I'm done. So she says I'll be there in a min so my roomy gets there and we r waiting for her to get there. At this point I'm starting to get bad feelings about this recovery thing I'm thinking I hope this is not what we're going to be experiencing when we have surgery. So she gets there and she's talking with the administration girls and we're sitting there waiting getting tired and hungry because we had not eaten. So we finally leave and we're driving and my roomie then ask if there's something to eat at the house. Now anna does not speak English so luckily there was another girl there that translated. So she stated they had made food or if we wanted to pick up something to eat. So my roomy says I want home cook food. So, we get to the house and she serves us a plate. Well my roomy finishes and is still hungry because there wasn't much food on the plate. However we go to the room and start getting comfortable. My roomy than asked if ana could take her to the store ana asks why? she then says so i could get pads so i wont leak all over the place. At this point another girl was like u don't need them ur not going to leak that much and the office will give u pads. Which I personally never heard of with either of my surgeries. So, ana does not take her. So, to the point The recovery house did not have the type of foods you are supposed to have after surgery. The food was not offered until we had to go and ask. There was no fruit, vegetables Gatorade pineapple juice in the fridge. My roomy was having to remember and get up to take her meds. When my roomy was wanting to have her garment washed they were giving her every excuse not to wash it. They kept telling her it was going to shrink. And she then kept saying it didn't matter she was covered in blood and fluid and it was smelling real bad. They pretty much wanted her to leave back home on the plane in that condition. Ridiculous!! After finally getting them to wash it time had passed and my roomy was like can u check to see if my garment is ready. So, I go the living area and it's laying on the couch while ana is talking with 2 other girls. So, I say is this ready and she says yes. So, I go and take it to my roomy and I'm thinking ana is going to come and assist her put it on. So, I go back to get my water from the kitchen and another girl that I became close to says she's probably gonna need help cuz ana's not going so I go back to the room and ask her if she wants me to help her and she says yes so we go the bathroom and I help her get it on. Now her lipo foam was all covered in blood on one side so I go and ask ana for scissors so I can cut that piece off. So, I cut it and put it in her garment. At that point ana comes to the bathroom and tells my roomy to go to the room so she can button her garment. So she does it. So, every night we ate around 9. Now, this post is going to be long for me to complain about everything that was wrong with this place. I'm just glad I didn't really need help cuz I didn't do much surgery I just felt really bad for the other 2 girls that I would talk to cuz they should have been taken more care of. My roomy left without her antibiotic cuz ana never got it. I think there were to many girls for one person to tend too. Ana was hardly even there. Now this was my experience that I saw with my own to eyes. So, maybe she doesn't always have this many people and she is usually more prepared and this was an isolated incident. Idk. There is so much more to this bad experience but this post is getting to long. But this rh in my opinion was terrible and I have experienced great. And there was a major difference. Good luck to all you dolls having surgery! !

Wow you continue..... no fruit, no gatorade. Your roomy was up every hour, so your gonna tell me that she needs to be reminded on meds too if she is fully alert. I'm a grown woman, I know when to take my meds. You and your roomy ate at 5 w/ me a full plate and then again you ate at 9pm again a full plate of food. If you choose to help is on you, it's not because it is needed. Your roommate would get up every 30min so she never had a chance to ask if she needed anything. Like I said before the garment was hot and Anita put the garment on. Shame on you. The Truth will set you free.

I'm not sure how you didn't realize you posted a contradicting statement you began stating that I was up every hour then ended with 30 minutes. I didn't need to be reminded to take meds as I spent a lot of time reminding and asking you to translate to Anita or Ana that she still needed her to pick up my meds. So once again I don't understand how I can be reminded of something that I don't have . I did leave without an antibiotic and had to get that filled back home (I have supporting documents if you need that ).... my Roomy definitely was the one changing and taping my guaze on (after spending the whole afternoon trying to convince you guys my garment smelled really bad and needed to be washed seeing that I bled through and fluid was all over it ..... Please let me know if I need to post that picture to jog your memory ) after Anita saw my roomy cutting the lipo foam and after my garment was up and I was taped up that is when she assisted by clamping it . This could have easily been avoided seeing I asked to be taken to the store to get pads so it wouldn't go through but YOU kept stating that I didn't need it and needed to allow the fluid to drain despite the fact my coordinator as well as nurse suggested it. Since being back home I've managed to wash my garment and dry it twice and have it back on in 45 minutes without any shrinkage even though you kept telling me it would shrink and it had to dry overnight. There was definitely NO Gatorade you kept translating that it was frozen however I never found it in the freezer and YOU stated Saturday when I asked again for some ,that she had just bought some ...... So there wasn't any Gatorade until Saturday . She did have banana and strawberries however there was 7 girls I got a total of 4 strawberries and 2 bananas through out my stay from Thursday -Sunday. I also only received the fruits because I asked for them it was offered nor part of our meals .There were no natural juices however there was water and ginger ale. The food was definitely salty. I stated day 1 that I didn't eat pork Saturday I was given a plate with pork , I asked what type of meat it was and after getting a translation I was told pork , the lady fixed me another plate with meat I asked her again she said pork I reiterated again no pork she told me put it to the side I said no NO pork the lady with the eye surgery translated the last time for me and I received my plate pork free. I did have some fruit after purchasing it (I have supporting documents for that as well ) ... Pineapples that came up to $11.08 in what world I don't know however despite the fact IT WAS MY MONEY USED it was everyone's pineapples when I returned the following day to get some it was half way gone and I had 7 pieces but was told yes that was mines and don't know who was eating my fruit . There was definitely a language barrier without you ,your sister and the other young lady we wouldn't have been able to ask for basic things

So, let me start off by saying my surgery was scheduled at 4. I asked the lady of the recovery house via text cuz she wasn't there if she could take me to the clinic cuz I needed to dispute some things. She tells me no that she can't cuz she was doing something else. I begin to tell her I really need to go and it's very important she then has her daughter pick me up to take me. I get to the clinic and I begin to tell administration that I need a refund for the things I'm not doing. She then says I need to talk to the mgr. So, I'm sitting and waiting and she finally calls me not the mgr the administration girl and she says the mgr said she has already gotten the refund submitted but it will take 2 to 3 wks. I then say I need to get something in writing showing I am getting the refund. So she says ok let me go tell the mgr. So, I'm sitting and waiting again and after a while she comes back and says the mgr said she can't do that right now she will have it ready for u tom after surgery. I then tell her no if she doesn't do it now I want to cancel the whole thing. So, finally I get a letter stating they are issuing a refund and I will get by 07/15. So at this time the daughter had left she had other things to do and could no longer stay and wait for me plus she stated it made no since for her to take me and have to bring me back since they live 45 mins away and it was already 2pm. So, I ended up having to stay and wait there. So, I was at the clinic from 1pm to 9:30 pm. I did not get into surgery room till 8:45pm. I had decided I wanted to do my bb and arms. So, they asked if I wanted local or general anesthesia. I told them local. So, when I went in for surgery they numbed my bb and I didn't feel no pain alittle bit of tugging but no pain. Now when it got to my arms I was thinking I was going to be somewhat Sudated I had no idea that local meant absolutely nothing just something to somewhat numb u. So, when he stuck the needle in my arm it hurt I then thought ok maybe it's going to get numb and I won't feel it that was not the case he stuck the lipo wand in my arm and it hurt he pulled it and did it again and I then said Nevermind stop that really hurts I completely felt everything. He then says I gave u an option if u wanted local or general and I was like no one even explained the difference I didn't know the difference I'm not a dr. So, he left and the assisted who was so very nice she started to clean me up and brought all my stuff so I could get dressed. So, I walk out and the dr says call us and make an appt and I'll do ur arms but under general. So, I walk out and there I am waiting again for the caretaker. Waited for 30 to 40 mins and then she gets there she takes me to go leave my prescription I then ask if she can take me to get something to eat so I pick up burger king. So, then I think we r going to go pick up the prescription but we start driVing thru a neighborhood and we park in front of a house. So, we r sitting there waiting and she then calls someone and tells them to tell me that we r there waiting for her boyfriends boss to get there so he can give her some money. Now keep in mind she doesn't speak english. So, we sit there and wait for about 30 mins. After that we finally go pick up my meds and go back to house. I will give another update later about the rh. It was a joke!!

She did the exact opposite for me. However I didn't need help doing anything cuz I didn't get much done! However, for my roomy who had a bbl she never got checked on never was told to take meds she had to do everything by herself. After she finally got her garment washed ana didn't even bother to tell her it was ready she just left it on the couch. My roomy had asked me to go ask if it was ready. Sure enough it was just laying on the couch while ana was just sitting there talkin away with 2 other girls. So I had to take it to her and then I had to help her put it on ana didn't even go and offer after she saw me get it to take to her. Ana was never even at the house. There was 6 girls there and three of us felt the exact same way. There was no fruit no pineapple juice ,Gatorade none of the things ur supposed to have after surgery. Like I said I didn't need those things cuz I didn't do much but the other 2 girls I'm speaking for did. All that was given was salty pork,chicken and rice. Like I said before this place was a joke!!

When you give an opinion it should be based on your experience not someone's else's. You keep bringing up your room mate but she has not complained . First of all we are all grown adults. We all know when to take our Rx and Anita did tell your room mate to take it so much so she corrected the many times a day she should take the first Rx of antibiotics( the patient had 2 different Rx given ) The garment was washed and left on top of the sofa because it was too warm to wear. Dansora81 and another patient ( my sister )were the ones speaking to Anita while the garment was cooling. If that garment would have been given while it was too warm, it would have caused a inflammatory effect to the body. You did ask if it was ready but it was not given due to forgetfulness but caution to he patient. You began to help your room mate but Anita was the one whom finished helping the patient close the garment correctly. Ana was out with two other guest to Walmart and publix supermarket to get your roommate and another guest pineapple and Rx meds. Anita never leaves her guest alone. Her daughter and or assistant Jackie is always there. Anita has to drive around to pick up ,drop off , and get Rx .she is not being irresponsible ,it's her duty and does it with love. For future guest - pineapple , Amnica tea and extra medication are an aid but not Anita responsibility. We are responsible for our extras . Anita gets them to help her guest. These are not necessary after surgery . It helps but not mandatory to take. To end this issue, I would suggest that you base your opinion on what You experienced not speaking on someone's else behalf. Your room mate was more than able to speak up and did . Dansora81 is a witness that she was helped and her pineapple was bought . The second Rx of antibiotics was taken to the pharmacy but it was taking too and the next day the pharmacy opened later than the patients flight. We suggested to call the pharmacy and get that second Rx of antibiotics to be transferred to her home town.

Excuse me but this is my review and what I saw and experienced with my own eyes!! So, don't sit there and try to tell me what to put on my review. And as far going to the store no one even bother to ask us if we wanted to go to the store or if we needed anything from the store they would just leave and yes my roomy did ask for pineapple so my roomy gave her the credit card and she was already going to the store she did pick it up for her but yet anita was eating it too. And then later my roomy was asking who was eating her pineapple. So, I don't care what you say I've been to Miami twice and I had great experiences with caretakers. however this was not one of them!

Obviously you know who you are responding too, unlike you I don't hide my face. Really you are contradicting yourself. We didn't bother to ask if you needed anything from the store but we got your roommate pineapple. And let me notify you we bought 2 containers of pineapple. So obviously she was eating someone else's containers. We were going to the store to get medicine. Yeah right 2 other good experiences, I doubt that; all you do is complain and lie. Get a life. I have been here 2x and now I will be coming for a 3x, stop deleting my comments.
