So I'm finally making a profile. This site helped me with my decision. I was 230 lbs and 5'7. I had a baby last march and i hate my post baby body. I've done every cheat diet, fat burner, medical weight loss pills and boot camp there is and spent a lot of money along the way. I wasn't motivated so nothing really worked. I am 2 days post op and I am SORE!!!! I never thought I would have the balls to do this but I did it. Hey, I never thought I would have the balls to travel to a foreign country, but I did. As I lay here I'm not sure if it was worth it yet. I can't really tell what I look like yet. I wasn't sure what to expect in coming here. But I was pleasantly surprised. So far everything is as described during the phone/email consultation. I will be sure to share pics and update as the days go by and also I will post a list of things I packed or wish I did. Btw, I hate this faja!!!

Ok so I'm freaking out because I stalked this site trying to find negative reviews for my doctor and I couldn't find any. Well....yesterday I stumbled upon a really bad review. This girl said she got her surgery this week and the doctor did a botched job. I started freaking out. Of course, everyone suggested that she give it time for the swelling to go down. I tried to take my faja off to see if I noticed any results but not only could I not see anything, I almost fainted at the site of the cut and bloody gauze. I started to hyperventilate but I calmed down enough to close it back up and make it to the bed. So....I'm praying for the best results. My arms look like beat up slab meat. This drain is annoying, but I'm glad I have one. My faja is tight but I don't feel like this was the best one for me. It has a zipper and one row of snaps. It also has bra-like straps that are digging into my arms and back, on which I had lipo.
I received my sx on fri and today is the first day I combed my hair or cared to come out of my room for fresh air. I finally decided to put on underwear over my faja last night but idk if that was a good idea because when I woke up in the middle of the night to pee, I forgot that I had them on and I urinated on myself. Uhhhh! Oh did u know that you are not allowed to flush toilet tissue here in DR. Oooops! Most of the things I packed I will never use. Complete and utter waste. I have the worst headache of my life. I think it's a mixture of sleeping flat my back and the strong anti biotics that I'm taking. I can't sleep during the night and as soon as I doze off someone wakes me up.
Ok so.... About the recovery house, JM Medical Spa.- it is very nice and the staff accommodates your needs. They offer massages but I don't want anyone touching me. It cost $90 per day and you get 3 meals per day with a snack. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was in the room by myself . Everything is super clean and the decor is cool. My only complaint is that once you arrive you have walk up a flight of stairs. The lady literally feeds you like a baby if you are weak. I only needed that the first day there. I don't remember the first day after sx. I slept the day away. I do remember waking up during sx and crying. The nurses soothed me back to sleep. Prior to my sx I did all my tests the same day. I remember seeing the infamous Dr. Yily and when see walked thru everyone stopped like she was a celebrity. She is very pretty with a nice body. I contemplated using her but my final decision was Aquino. I'm tired now, I'll be sure to update you guys later.

These are my before pics. 230 5'7
I met some girls today at the rh. One girl went to Yily and her shape looks great. I'm going to keep the faith and patiently wait to see the changes after the swelling goes down. I also put on a wife beater today under my faja along with pads along my incision. Word of advice ladies, if you sit in your room in the dark you will feel like [RS bleep]. I ate dinner at the tAble with other ppl and it made such a difference. Even if u don't feel like being social just take a walk. Also make sure u wash your face and brush your teeth and try to comb your hair. I know that sounds like a given but I didn't wanna do anything and today I did and I felt better. It also helps that I took one of my own pain pills. The pain pills they give you SUCK!! The antibiotics is super strong and will make u feel like [RS bleep] if u take it on an empty stomach. I love my rh but I think they need more staff. At 90$ a day I don't want to wait for anything or be igged . That's not the overall for everyone here but this one lady is always MIA. That is unacceptable because of calling you I might really be in trouble. Plus this morning I was super hungry and light headed, she sent me toast and juice. Then I called her for something else and she never came. She said "me voy". The owner Jacqueline is super nice and accommodating. I love when she is here. Don't get me wrong this is a great place to stay but this one lady is pissing me off. And when I was screaming out in pain she was laughing. I want to complain but I'm not in any condition for someone to mistreat me or hurt me. So I wrote a list of everything I want for tomorrow and I gave it to the owner. She looked surprised as if I should get these things automatically. She assured me I would have them. I'll post pics of the rh. The owner should promote this place better. It's really nice. Also I figured out y my head is hurting....no coffee. I have at least a cup a day and I've missed it since Friday. Hoping that I get some in the morning. I'm about to go to bed now. I'm going to decide if I'm going to get massages or not. And I'll dream about taking a shower. I wish !!!
