I had surgery (tummy tuck, muscle repair, BBL, lipo to inner thighs and lipo 360) on July 29th,…read more2025, and I was very nervous. I chose to stay at Bella Recovery. House because I had heard great reviews. The nurses at Bellas were amazing. Carmen, Karina, Gaby, and Magali (who ran the hyperbaric oxygen chamber) were the ones I connected with most. The doctors, Esmerelda and Evelynn, along with a few other nurses, were all very kind and attentive. They treated me with love and respect, and even though I felt uncomfortable asking for help, they made it easy. They helped me shower, braided my hair, and went out of their way to make me feel cared for. When I pressed the button for help, they came quickly, and I never had to wait long. When I needed different meds, or something from the pharmacy, they took care of it for me so I didn't have to worry.
The food was another pleasant surprise. I'm a pretty picky eater, so I was nervous at first, but everything was delicious. Meals and snacks were pretty much on schedule, with breakfast at 8, snack at 12, lunch at 2, snack at 5, and dinner at 7, and I genuinely enjoyed them all. Being a type 1 diabetic, I often have to guess how many carbs are in the food when it is prepared, and even guessing, my blood sugars were in the target range 100% of the time, multiple days, while eating their food. That doesn't happen as often as I'd like, lol.
I also completed 10 sessions in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which I believe had a significant impact. By day 5, I started feeling noticeably better, and by the time I went home after 10 days, I'd say I felt about 80%. I still had some tightness, but no pain. I was walking around, and the only real annoyances left were the swelling and drains, which are just part of the process.
Overall, the care I received from Bellas far exceeded my expectations. I felt well cared for and about, I was comfortable, and if I were to have another procedure done, I would absolutely stay there again.
