Hi Ladies, I'm totally new to RL and have never had any cosmetic procedures done before. I'm on here like most of you looking for insight, tips and taking heed to whatever advice you ladies have to give based on your experience. I know everyone's experience will not be the same but I consider it all. I'm scheduled to have a TT & Lipo on April 17th w/ Dr. Yily and I'm stoked! I had a c- section before and my recovery from that was hell, I'm hoping it's not much more worse than that.. However my main concern is making it back home safe to my baby boy and of course snatched !!! I'm so tired of having a kangaroo pouch and flaps on my back. So far everything is set as far as flight and Dr. Is concerned, However no recovery home reserved yet. The few I had narrowed my choices down to are all booked up, so any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the community, I am so glad to have you here with us.   You will do wonderful and soon be home loving your results.   This is a painful recovery but I am confident you can do this.   It's different that a c-section but it's hard to say exactly for each person.  Our pain tolerances are all different.  Best advice is to stay on top of the pain meds the first few days and rest.  

Make sure to post your before and after pictures for us.

As I've mentioned before as soon as I arrived in DR my first stop was to Cipla to get my labs done. When I did, everything was perfect except my BMI, it was at 36.5 so i was turned down. What I didn't mention was the following day I visited Dr. Cabral to see what he would say, however i needed my labs etc. When i attempted to get them from Yily they asked why did I need a copy of my labs so I explained i wanted a 2nd opinion. The receptionist in turn told Yily and Yily had her attempt to charge me $100 for my labs. This i believe set the tone..Yily was livid, she didn't care to speak to me or see me, she breezed past me with her nose flared and went to have a talk with Cabral, apparently that week Cabral won over 4 Yily patients and she wasn't having it. After she spoke to Cabral he ultimately gave me the same response and told me he couldn't do it. I would have to lose at least 6 -7 pounds. After being offered the option to speak to a nutrionist to come up with a plan for me to shed those pounds in just 4 days i agreed ( a $65 out of pocket expense ). At this point, as disappointed, sad, and depressed as i felt i should've taken the signs and returned home. BUT, naturally my determination to return home with my mommy makeover kicked in and I was wiling to do all within my power to right this wrong. And i did what i had to. FF 4 days i lost 5 pounds so they agreed to do my surgery. April 20, Day of surgery, Yily arrived in my room nose flared, mouth all tight barely a smile she says take off ur robe. She immediately starts to mark me, she never asked me what was it ineanted or was my main focus..i guess she figured everyone wants the same thing.. i m3an yhe hell with a "wish pic" this chick didnt care to hear my wishes verbally.. so stale, unfriendly i tried to talk to her but she was so quick and unwilling to have a conversation i got all but 2 words in.. in less than 3 mins she marked me up and did it so hard my skin turned red all i could think was, is she upset? Is she upset at me for attempting to go to Cabral should i not do this, would she something out of spite.. but before i could give anything any further thought the blue pill was given.. it was about to ho down.. before i knew it i became woozy and knocked out. I remember being transferred to a rollaway bed and being rolled into the OR.. iv being administered. I then remember waking up.at some point trembling uncontrollably, asking them what are they doing. They told me my tt. And dropped a green cloth over my face.. i remember being in and out of consciousness but it was enough to feel discomfort and want them to stop.. so in turn i was moving a lot.. eventually i was transferred to my recovery room for overnight observation.. were NO ONE CAME IN FOR HOURS. It was a dark room, not even the tv was on which might i add they charge u $20 for the remote.

Thank you so much, as for my body I still can't tell if I like it but she didn't give me the body I was dreaming of, she never even asked me what I wanted.. I'm just thankful to be alive like you said and back home with my family, a young lady the age of 23 had died that same day I had surgery. So it really had me considering the chances I took.. It's not worth it.

Hi I'm 5'4 and weighed 211 at the time of weigh in. Good luck and Ull see for ur self she only smiles for selfies. She has terrible bedside manner which Ull never see because she doesn't go to anyone's bedside. Everything is so rushed, it's clearly about the money..

Thank you for sharing you story... Yily came highly recommended. I requested a quote from her now I may go elsewhere. I want someone who is professional at all times not bitchy or vengeful...

You're very welcome & thanks for taking the time to read my story, I know some may think I'm trying to destroy her image which I'm not I haven't even posted anything elsewhere except on here. And I'm sure those who have their heart set on having surgery done and have chosen her will still go right ahead and not pay any mind because I probaby can admit to being that hard headed but here I am 3 1/2 weeks out my wound on my leg still open still having to see surgeons about my leg & my abs look terrible this is not what I wanted, and she never checked on me.. Sedona which is her assistant does all of that so just a heads up she's the only Dr. I hear who has this bad manner. Cabral is a sweet heart I hear even Duran is very sweet too. As far as thinking ur gonna even sit down with Yily prepare ur self for u will see her 1 time, when u have a blue gown on and she's ready to make her rounds and mark girls up in a matter of 3 mins per person.. And 3 of my friends who have gotten work done by her aren't happy either she burned my friends skin on her stomach causing her to be without her garment for 3 weeks, they all agreed they would never recommend Yily and neither would I.. I have nothing to gain or lose just sharing my terrible experience. If it can save or spare someone why not.. I'd suggest looking into someone else. I don't even believe those pics she's posts anymore.. Besides as soon as u ask for a juicy butt or a full or big butt her response is I don't do those...

Thanks, I should've. I just let the desperation and eagerness to do what I came their to do kick in.. seeing my friends that came with me get their surgery and I didn't made me so gun hole. that's so dangerous too that's how many girls end up with tragic endings or mishaps such as myself.

This experience was horrible. I want nothing to with them.

It truly was. They were extremely unprofessional, no bedside manner, or compassion. it's a meat market and we're the meat paying to be cut up.. that's how they treat u.. I can't speak for all Doctor's but at least in Yily's office.. appointments mean nothing, Phone calls go un answered and after care .. let's just say I've never spoken to, or seen Yily or read a response from her since I left their office. I could've been a 1 off but my friend I went with is soo unhappy a complete waste of money.
