It's been 3 weeks since my sx.. I am loving my results. Although I had a horrible experience with the recovery in DR I am happy. I finished my woth massage today but will continue for the next 3 months. I am on my 3rd faja side medium. I'm still swollen but happy I'm healing well. I still have some stitches on my back and on my tummy tuck that i do not think they fall off so I will be contacting the Robles team r I find out what should I do. Any of you ladies had to remove your own stitch??

You look amazing! Im sorry u had a bad experience at the RH. I'm from NYC and will be going to DR in Nov for surgery too. Just wondering if you bought your fajas there or did you bring your own? And was it difficult finding someone to do lymphatic massages here and how much are they?
BTW, Im not a doctor or anything but if the scars look like they are healed, I would just use small scissors to cut each stitch our out carefully. Wish you a happy and healthy recovery!

I was thinking how I really would like to come home to receive care. Like when they take the drains out on day 4= do you think I would be able to tolerate the flight home that soon? And did you leave with the drain still in?

Wow.... it has been a very intense recovery for me. Not so much the surgery. I am still very swollen but I am loving my results. I had my SX last Tuesday. The Thursday after my SX I began to have severe headaches. It was so intense I felt like I was dying. After days and days back and forth to the ER.. They finally decided to remove the epidural fluid which remained in my system. I am not sure why it took them so long to determine the issue but it took them 6 days to figure out that was the issue. The pain was horrible. I cried day and night. I was very weak and couldn't even move. They gave me a epidural patch. Which is a procedure where they removed the fluid out your system and injected your own blood into your spine. Once the procedure was done my headaches went away. Now I can focus on recovery. That experience alone allows me to say I will never have another cosmetics surgery again. Usually women throw up after surgery due to the anesthesia but I didn't and it remained in my system. If you experience these after surgery immediately request an epidural patch so you won't experience what i did. At first I was at queens recovery which was ok. Met some wonderful women. Now I'm at Virginia which is way better. Overall I am happy with my results and the Robles team are great. Dr. Robles is a doll and very caring. I have 3 more day here and I can not wait to get back home I am very home sick. The driver smiley is the bomb. He is very funny and caring. He took us to McDonald's and said all i needed was a big mac to clear my headache lol. I wish I didn't experience that headache after surgery but god is great and he answered my prayers.

Smiley is the best, if you see him again tell him Jennifer said hi he probably doesn't even remember me lol. I hope you feel better and that your recovery gets easier. I had headaches too after my surgery but it went away on its own. Post pics when you can i would love to see your results
