My make over dream

“My make over dream”

Written on: 25/03/2012 by sweetweety

I just recently traveled to Bolivia for a make over, and I was very happy with my results I had everything done, breast reduction with augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction in different areas. And the results were great! I do recomend it to other ppl I was very nervous and not knowing the real outcome and the worry about going abroad on putting myself and life in the hands of who knows who" but thank God my doctor was very professional since the moment I walked into his office for consult he explained and listened my concerns. Everything went well the only thing I dont give five stars because the way they handle pain after surgery, but if you go prepare with vicodine or Norco if you could get pain meds you should be okay! because I dont know why they are afraid to give patients strong medicine other then Naproxen and other pain medicine that doesnt relieve the pain. of course the hospital and service it is not the same as here in the US, they dont give you stool softeners, anti acid meds after surgery they should since they put you in antibiotics, and you have to be on top of all that with the doctor so he can give you a prescription. when I was in the hospita I had a private room and never so the nurse the whole shift only at the begining the rest of the night it was the assistance but they only come when I called them which was most of the time for pain since they dont get it under control and when my IV fluid were out and the bag was empty I had to watch that most of the time since they're not checking on you often. the staff at the hospital are very quiet I only thanked one of them from all of them for at least smiling cuz none of them smile or introduce themselves or talk to you. Dont think you are going to be with compression stocking to prevent clots after surgery or hooked to a PCA Pump that delivers pain medication cuz I dont think they know what it is over there. No Oxygen or food I stayed for two days and I only got liquids so even if there is bowel sounds and no nausea you ask them for food they say they need a doctors order and cant have regular food. not like the states that if everything is well you can have food. I was at one time short of breath and my husband said I passed out, he went and got the nurse but they wouldnt check you oxygen level to see if I need oxygen they said my blood pressure dropped when they checked it, I dont remember I think it was that and part that I hadnt eat anything since the night before and plus you loose fluids in surgery and you should see the drip they have you on there is like 20 drops per hour and no drinking ofcourse that is expected to happen for the blood pressure to drop, and dont expect them to get you and help you ambulate I did it on my own, my foley urinary bag didnt come out till before I was discharge. Im telling all these details because I would have loved for someone to write their experience, but I couldnt find any reviews in detailed. If I would have known I would have taken pain and stool softener. but the doctor who did my surgery did a good job! Im happy with the results after I almost dye I guess when I passed out, I thought the nurses would let the doctor know and reported but when I mentioned it to the doctor the folling morning he didnt knw andything about it. that's why I ended staying an extra day I didnt want to go back to the hotel and not well enough hydrated and pain free so I ended up paying another night. so I leave it up to you! over all great job with my surgery, I think I had a great surgeon working for the wrong place. If I tell you every detail then I would end up rating 3 stars. but I give my surgeon a 4-5 stars.
