38 Years-old...Tummy Tuck, BBL, Lipo to Back and Waist, Breast Lift and Augmentation. - Santo Domingo, DR

He followed the natural line of my body. Look at my before pics and you'll understand what I mean. I saw two other surgeons in nj and they also said my incision would be that high and long. I also wish it was lower but I think he did a great job with the incision, and it's healing very nicely. Hopefully it will fade a lot with scar therapy. Maybe you should send him pics and ask him where your incision will be, or go for free consults to other surgeons in your area so you have a better idea of what to expect.

oh I see so thanks im glad you already knew this by two other surgeons I really don't want to got to the capital to get surgery I want to got to the Homs hospital from what I see it looks like one of the hospital from here compared to the clinics that I have seen In the capital and from what I have heard im scared but at the same time I want good results lol

Thank you :)

Thank you :) And yes, I am lol...I can't wait to see the final result!

Thank you..they're coming along...my left one is just taking its sweet time to drop lol.

Hey...thanks, I'm doing really well. I even went on a carriage ride the other night lol. I still have a lot of swelling but I saw the doctor today and he said I'm recovering great. And I just ordered bromelain from amazon to help with the swelling. I really hope it helps. How are you?

It's nice to hear that your doing good. What is a bromelain? Well I had heard that in Patient First did physicals, so I was going to go yesterday but it was a little crowded so I didn't go in, but I did called then and unfortunately they don't take my insurance and they said that I would have to pay everything out of packet. I have an appointment on the 21 or the 22 and going to tell the Dr so I can it's done hope fully they get the labs soon. I also when to walgreens to but multivitamins with iron and I also bought some iron pills and started taking them last night. My friend also told me to blend red beats with carrots and to drink the just like for two weeks since I always have Amenia, I am trying to get the numbers up as high as they will go...any other recommendations you have for me? My friend also commented that we have to supply the nurse with surgical sterile gloves and 4x4 gouse pads and regular white t shirts is there anything alse I should take with me...

Hi...bromelain is supposed to help with inflammation. That's what is bothering me the most right now. It seems you're taking all the steps you need to in order to prepare for the surgery. Your friend is right about those supplies. I brought a box of latex gloves and the nurse couldn't use them the first week. The sterile gloves are individually wrapped and that's what she used to tend to my incisions. She later used the latex gloves to bathe me. The gauze I brought she couldn't use at first either. I got mine from Walmart but they weren't the right ones bc they don't really absorb. I gave the nurse the money to buy the right ones at the pharmacy. Now i use them to cover my incisions bc theyre closed. I use "wife beaters"..men's white sleeveless tank tops ..under my faja bc it's more comfortable that way. I also brought wipes to wipe myself down since I couldn't bathe for the first week. If you're able to get meds prescribed over there, that would be great but many doctors won't give you a prescription since they're not performing the surgery. If that's the case, be prepared to buy them here. I wore maxi dresses a lot to cover the compression socks I had to wear. Ummm..lets see...you have to buy the faja which the doctor puts on you. Mine cost 135. Since I couldn't wash my hair, I bought dry shampoo so it smelled and looked good. I'll think of what else I made good use of and let you know.

But are they pills? OK so I am very excited I just got a money I was waiting for so I am going to buy my ticket tonight or tomorrow, but the prices are a little higher than what I expected 450 and up. I just a also thought to taking esure, you know the sweet milk. I am also debating if I should stay in a recovery house for 1 week or stay at my friend house. They only thing is that the lady from the recovery house is charging me 450 and I think it's a bit high. In the other hand I can stay for free at my friends house but they live a bit far and the nurse wouldn't be abel to travel that far so I would have to find my own nurse to go and the things for me...so I am debating on that.....other think when I talk to his assistance she sad she recommends me to stay over there for 21 or more days...but I don't want to be gone that long. How long are you staying over there for?

Yes, the bromelain are pills. I just started taking them today. Hopefully they work bc I still have a lot of inflammation. I stayed in DR for two weeks which was enough time for me. The doctor recommended I stay minimum 15 days. Have you decided where you're going to stay?

OK ...oh you are back home that good. I still haven't decided I am thinking very hard to decide were I want to stay. Are you going to post any new pics

Yes, I'm going to try to post more later.

Okk.how was trip on the plain

It was pretty good. I was just stiff from sitting for so long, but the doctor gives you a letter so you're given a wheelchair and the airport staff stays with you throughout the entire process. It was great bc you don't have to wait in any lines and there isn't any confusion bc they do everything for you.

Hi..I was in surgery for about 4.5 hours.
