Hey Ladies I made it to the flat side ???? Dr. Mallol did a great job I thought I would need a tummy tuck because so many other Doctors said it would be better but nawww I glad I trusted Mallol because I have no excess skin he did great aggressive lipo like I wanted! Soooo i dnt know where to start..it's alot
So Dec. 7th I arrived in Dom.rep at 2.30pm but we had to wait for another girl to arrive as well eventhough I told him i have to go see my Dr before 4pm so I was annoyed with no wifi ugh.
Anyway she arrived; we hit traffic (they drive like maniacs out here)
We got to our RH at 4.30pm. I told the nurses to call my Dr. And of course it was to late to see him so I talk to him on the phone and he said I will get picked up at 6 am to get my lab work done so dnt drink or eat after midnight and my surgery is scheduled for 9am. I was happy at that point. Im staying at the Armonia recovery house ..geesh thats a whole different update I have to go in detail about.

Surgery day
I arrive at the clinic (dnt know the name) it's clean and modern (I'll post some pics lol) nurses bring me to my room and I didn't wait that long to get all those tests done..but 1. They didn't speak any English there which was hard because I had so many questions nd no wifi so no Google translater ugh then 2. If u you have any piercings you will have to take them All out ..and my nipple piercings were closed the next day, sucks because I have to go through that pain Again Lol
Nevertheless though they send I'm good to go and soon after Dr Mallol came in soo Nice, Professional, Speaks English and cute lol he took some before pics and explained everything in detail to me ..and then I also decided to add chin lipo which was another $250..he made me feel comfortable and I wasnt nervous at all and ready for surgery.
Actual Surgery
The anesthesia Dr. said I'm getting something similar to a epidural ..to be honest I dnt remember much lol but I did wake up on my stomach with Dr Mallol putting in work on my back and I yelled Dr. I'm AWAKE! He said it's ok sweetie I'm almost done..I didn't feel any pain at all just pressure but it was still scary..I did go back to sleep though!
I woke up in my room at 1pm cold as hell..trying to get up but of course passed out nd the nurses came rushing in saying nonono mami lol I dnt remember being in pain as of now I still haven't a taken any pain meds..soo they after a few hours they tried to make me sit up but I kept faiting and I was cold shaking and MAD because they didn't understand..but coming to find out I had high temperature and also needed a blood transfusion which was another $130 but after that I felt wayyyy better, drank some water and ate soup. Hallelujah!
Back at the RH I went to sleep but first I took a pic lol ..going to sleep is Hell Not comfortable At all, 5 days post op now it's still a struggle and a pain in the ass literally and this drain on my right side be killing me sometimes geesh..cnt wait till they remove it.
When you first get out of bed you all stiff and hurting but when u start walking I feel better ..so i walk everyday I even left the RH and walked 1 mile yesterday with my buddy and it felt great!!
Yesterday (4days post op) I had my first massage I was anxious to get one since I have some lumpyNess in my stomach but boyyyy that was painful! Needed but painful. I hope I didn't skip anything ..lol I'll keep yall posted ????

Not so much regarding Dr Mallol but think we were unlucky with the staff on duty at the clinic.
The recovery house staff have been fantastic though.
If we had had a private nurse at the clinic it would have been a different experience entirely.
Went for after care today at the clinic and they were all great.

It's a very tough recovery no matter which Dr. you choose. The pain at first seems unbareable. My sx was the 6th of December and I can still barely walk. What we do for beauty!

Goodluck with your journey I am going to dr Mallol from the UK on the 3rd of December!! Can't wait! Staying at dream body divas as it has all supplies you need. Save on the luggage. Getting excited now and madly getting my iron levels up!
Are you mostly organised to go?
December 5, 2016
what are you doing to get your iron levels up? I need to do the same.

I took ferrous fummerate through the night on an empty stomach. This is the best time to take it as it's all absorbed and isn't inhibited by coffee , tea or milk.
