Bbl, Tt and Lipo with Robles in August ! Dominican Republic, DO

4 months pre

Got my remaining vitamins !

$5,200
So I went ahead and stopped by target and found iron and folic acid. They aren't the exact dosages but I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm going to run them by Laura or Diana on Monday to make sure this is okay.

I was instructed to begin taking 300 mgs of iron, 5 mg of folic acid which I had trouble finding. I got Nature Made 65 mg Iron equivalent to 325 mg of Ferrous Sulfate and 400 mcg of folic acid, but Dra Robles said 5mgs.

We'll see what she says, if any of you took any of these dosages let me know ! I'll update you all sometime in May so I can share what products I've purchased for August. Two products I'm looking into are the bbl or booty pillow and a go girl funnel thing to pee.

Make sure you get a CBC test before you leave for your own personal knowledge… And make sure that you bring extra cash because they are going to try to nickel and dime you… And please please please don't forget to bring your vitamins and
Yes ! I will get one done a few days before I leave. I will make sure I re-up on vitamins too. I want to start blood builders a month out. What else were u going to say?! Did you get your surgery??
Exactly I had sx July 26 didn't get everything I wanted BC my hemp dropped from 13.6 to 11.8 from flight.....keep compression socks on flight and take iron and vit c it's the most important thing u van do....I only got Tt but I love it
And yes bring at least 300 for extra....I needed a blood transfusion....iron shot and infusions and special cream that i paid out of pocket for
Hello doll ! I'm having my sx in August 8 with Dr. Yily . Flying from Chicago on the 7th of August and planning to check out on the 19th of August. I haven't find any recovery house yet it's so much harder than I thought. But I have 3 RH in my mind that has hospital bed , to me is a must for my tummy tuck. Tropical deluxe $75 for shared room with free transportation and dr's visit, princess recovery house $85 for shared room , free transportation and my home caregivers. Those 3 RH has hospital beds.
Hiii, hope all is well with you, I was just wondering how your surgery went, and how is the recovery house? Was the Dra. Nice? I'm leaving in Oct. 2016 I just want to know what I should be expecting. Thanks hope to hear from you soon. Get well.

CBC Done and Flight Booked!

I went to my doctor on Wednesday of this week and had a CBC done. My hemoglobin is at a 12.5 which is okay. Even though I am 3 months pre-op I want to start my vitamins to make sure my hemoglobin goes up and not down. I am having three procedures (lipo, tt and bbl) done so I want to be extra cautious. I was able to find complex-b and vitamin c at the correct dosages (from vitamin shoppe), but Im having trouble finding 300 mgs of iron and 5mgs of folic acid. Someone recommended that I ask for prescriptions from my doctor, but I rather he not know what I'm doing. If anyone has any recommendations for where to get the other vitamins, let me know ! I

I know I'm doing things way in advance but I am already so nervous about this whole thing, when August comes I want things to go as smoothly as possible! I will post pre op pics as I get closer to the date !

I booked my flight! I am flying with Jet Blue, leaving JFK on Aug 9th at 4:20 and coming back Aug 19th at 4:05. I paid 494.76. I also included extra leg room on the return flight to make sure I have enough room to get up and walk and move around if needed. After reading more reviews I'm wondering if I should have stayed longer. I have read that some women have to leave DR with their drains in, I definitely don't want to do that, but I know I'm going to be anxious to return home.

That's great ! I was doing green smoothies a few weeks prior to booking my surgery. I've just started again. I alternate between spinach and kale as my leafy green and use a bunch of fruits. I've been snacking on lots of fruits. Citrus ones to build vitamin c. I also added a small dosage of b12 info my vitamins to help. I'm wondering if juicing will help too. I was at a 12.5. I would be more comfortable at 13.5.
I'm also trying a spinach beet strawberry and banana smoothie today :-/

Hey ladies! I am scheduled to have a tt, lipo and bbl with Robles August 10th. I'll be flying out of JFK the night of August 9th. Anyone else having surgery around this time? It would be awesome to travel with someone! Anyway, I am super excited and can't wait to have my body back after having my daughter 7 years ago! I am a little worried that after the bbl my butt may be too big since it's already pretty large, it just needs to be shaped and rounded out. Same with my hips. Im hoping Robles continues to be a great listener so I am happy with my results ! Almost 3 months left !! Will post pics as I get closer to the date.

I'm going August 23rd
Aww man! My return flight is the 19th. I'm staying 10 days. But we could definitely stay in touch so I can share my experience with you right before you come!
Yes, lets do that please! Are you traveling alone? I'm so nervous
as of now im doing it alone... I figured I would meet other women at the recovery house and we could help keep each other company there. I'm just so anxious, I wish I didnt book so far in advance because now I have more time to think and anticipate !
Its normal to be nervous, but you're going to be okay (so am I) . Just keep imagining how amazing your body is going to be after your surgery! Do you have any wish pics?
We will be just fine ! I have a few. I just posted one as my profile pic. I am really aiming to look as natural as possible. I already have somewhat of a body, I'm thick, small waist. My issue is my butt, its big but not round and shapely. Same with my hips, theyre a little squarish. My goal is to just round everything out nicely without coming out looking like a video vixen/stripper! What about U? Have you started getting supplies? Viatmins?
