My journey - Tummy tuck with Dr.Bello

Yes, Change I was considering going to her. The only negative things I've heard about Dra Bello is that she had 1 pt die in her care, because the pt had Asthma and I think she didn't tell Dra Bello about it. Now I thinko about it and go over reviews,it seems Dra Yily has more negatives said about her than Bello,yet women are still flocking to Yily. Yily doesn't have any deaths under her belt that I know of,but she has LOTS of Infections attributed to her.

Hi change , was it only tummytuck u got or did it include bbl. Also do u know if she does breast reductions

Do you have post op pics?

Hi could you inbox me some pictures because I'm going in Dec and I can't seem to find a lot of BBL pics for her..

just curious what negative things were said about her I'm in the process of looking at doctors and I was considering her. do you love your results could you post or send me pictures if you don't mind

I also want to know negative things said about her. The positives I've heard about her are that her pts have very little scarring and that she is great with bigger women. Problem I have with her is that she is hard to get in touch with. Sent her pics twice and still no response. Plus,she doesn't have too many post op pics outside of her website.

I just got back from having surgery with Dr Bellos. My expereince is far different than the original posters. I had a tummy tuck and I had my bat wings removed from my upper arms. Dr Bello was very engaging, I saw her quite a few times. She was waiting for me when i arrived and met with me shortly thereafter to do the evaluation prior to my surgery. She was pleasant, informative and willing to answer all my questions. After that I was taken upstairs to my room. It was sparce but pleasant. The only thing about this part was that there were no mattress pads on the bed. The bottom sheet was put directly over the plastic covered mattress. Its hot there and I was concerned it was be sweaty and uncomfortable. I asked the nurse to put an extra blanket between the mattress and the sheet. She gladly did. Problem solved. As far asnthe nurses and the care while I was in the clinic, I had no problems. Each nurse knew her job and performed it well. Each nurse was kind and very pleasant. At times, there were a few difficulties with the language barrrier. That problem was quickly resolved by using the english to spanish translator on my tablet. I found that to be an invaluable tool and I highly suggest you pack one. They have sufficient Wi-fi. As far as the Recovery center....Delores is the lady who runs it. I cant say enough kind words about her. I was very well cared for. My wounds were attended to perfectly. She does have some medical background unlike what the original poster said. She wasnt a pushover by any means, but she made sure that I walked as directed, ate healthy foods and got back and forth to the clinic for my follow up care each day. Or the original posters comment about the neighborhood.....and having bars on the windows.....there are bars on every window! They dont have glass windows like we are used to. Its the Carribean and they depend on the ocean breezes. I asked about the bars too. They are for protection, but only because they dont have windows like we are used to. Yes, the house is in a neighborhood that according toAmerican standards might be "shady" but I never felt at risk or unsafe. In fact, that was one of my favorite parts of the whole expereince. I got to experience a partnof Dominica while i was there. I may be unusual in thatnaspect, but I would of been highly unhappy stuck in a clinic for 10 days. Delores' home was clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. My name is Karen McGuffin and I live in Dallas, Tx As for the results....I have been home for a week now. My stiches are disolved and the ones that needed to be removed are gone as well. I will wait a few more weeks before ascertaining the results. There are a few areas still swollen so im not sure what the final outcome will be yet. I Also never got a massage while there, but in truth I'm ok with that. I don't like people pawin' at me when I dont feel great so it was a non-issue to me. At my final visit I was given a shower. Ahhhhh...what a wonderful feeling. This was 9 days post op. After my shower Dr Bellos and my nurse Aanie took me upstairs to the onsite beauty shop and dried my hair and styled it too. That was such feeling after feeling so dirty for over a week. One thing I will point out here is that in the Domincan Republic, they dont seem to have washcloths. Or I didnt know the roght word for them. I would highly suggestnyou take soem. Babywipe bathing is highly ineffective.

Hello, kari041- I am glad you had a great experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case for everyone. Yes, I use the word shady because it was an area that I was told by the local people that it was not save. I am also from a tropic location and know very well how the houses are in locations such as this one but it still made me and other patiences uncomfortable. I also informed people that the lady LURDES did not have an prior medical experience because that is the information she provided us. I do speak Spanish very well and communicated with her all day long and I asked her directly if she had prior medical background. Like I said, I am very glad you had a great experience but I am telling people MY opinion and what happen to me.

Sending prayers to you for a successful outcome!!

Hope you're ok sending prayers.

Can you update pics please

Hello ., hope everything is well
