So I have done so much research on this in order to select the best doctor for me to perform my surgery. I have finally decided to go with Robles in DR. Thanks to all the reviews found on this site which were so helpful in this process. So my journey has begun....I am 36yrs old, married with 4 children. It is time for me to do me!! I have mixed emotions excited and nervous at the same time. I sent my initial email to Laura, Dr robles assistant a few days ago, I received a quick response via email and followed by a personal phone call from Laura and Dr Robles. This was a plus and gave a more personal touch to our first correspondence, I hope this does not change once my deposit is paid as I read on other posts. I am staying positive and so ready to move forward with this...

Blood Test
CaribbeanChicaJanuary 16, 2014
Sooo yesterday I did my blood work just to get an idea where I am at, my hemoglobin is 14.2 and I have not yet started my vitamins..*sweet*..so I am looking in good shape, does anyone know if the doctor allows to have the blood done beforehand? I would like to do the bloods here on Island in order to have it covered by my insurance...

You can do them with your own doctor, but they will still do the blood test either way. It's ok though, because I believe it's included in your price. I'm not too sure about Dr. Robles, because I was at CIPLA with my surgery buddy and her friends and its included in the cost of your sx. But, you can bring a copy of your bloodwork anyway, cuz sometimes their may be a discrepancy in the levels and I know if you're not at least 12.0 they won't do your sx, and they do say that the hemo level tends to drop a point or 2 in DR. So I would get your bloodwork done about 1-2 weeks before your sx and bring the results with you. JMO! :) Hope this helps! (just my opinion lol)

It is included in the price, but I will have it done here again before I go. It has to be above 13 right?

It's my understanding that your hemo level has to be at least a 12 to get surgery. However, it should be more for agressive lipo because they say you bleed alot from the lipo, so the higher the better. I know some people went down to get multiple procedures, but then their hemo dropped during sx due to the lipo and they wasn't able to get some of the things they went for. That's why they said to tell the Dr. the most important things you want done, to get them out of the way, just in case your hemo drops. For me, I want TT Lipo BBL and BL with no implants. However, the main thing I want done FIRST no questions asked is my TT! Then BBL, then whatever sections can be lipoed, then BBL. I want chin, thigh and arm lipo. So after the BBL, if those can be done fine, if not, then I'm good as long as I have my TT!!! lol!!! So the highter the hemo the better. I think normal range is from 12-16. Hope this helps!
