well i changed my dr... and I'm scheduled to have surgery with dr. mendieta now on feb 26th. which is about ten days away...i've gained weight and been trying to keep my work outs minimal so i can maintain the fat since they told me i didn't have enough.

So I had my surgery Tuesday this last week. And...

So I had my surgery Tuesday this last week. And for me there really wasnt alot of pain. Just discomfort. The day after sugery I was walking around . Making my food. Draining my drains. Basically doing everything normally with in Reason. Dr mendieta is very nice and makes you really feel comfortable and welcomed . He knows his stuff but doesn't not come of as cocky at all. . I'm very happy I chose him. From what I can see now he did such a great job with my body. Looks so great really sculpt my mid section that's why I chose him . The butt is very beautiful to even on both sides. Looks nice and plump. Looks like this could be my natural shape. Like I was just really really blessed lol. I get to take stains out Tuesday. So I can't wait for that... we post pics when drains are out

Have you had any massages?
Ms. Storm 26 Mar 2013
No I haven't Cuz the hard stuff feeling has went away. Plus I'm in California so I'm not by the office
Perez3 26 Mar 2013
Thanks for your response! I hope I am able to go without too. It would be nice to not have that expense in addition to everything else.
Ms. Storm 27 Mar 2013
they told me i can do it myself..so I'm sure you will be able to as well
Perez3 27 Mar 2013
That would be nice if I could as well. You looked perfect before. Your body is jaw dropping. :)))
Ms. Storm 27 Mar 2013
thanks girl:-)...people said i was taking the easy way out with lipo n bbl...but that couldn't be farther from the truth ...going through surgery is not easy...theres just somethings that you can't achieve strictly through working out... I'm sure you will look great... just keep working out them legs girl... get them nice and thick :)

Ms. Storm 26 Mar 2013
I paid a little under 10, 000. But since I live in California I had to get plane tickets. Hotel. Food. Taxis. So came out to probably around 20, 000... def worth it tho ;)

Ms. Storm 26 Mar 2013
im a real health freak...and i don't drink or smoke...i work out 5-6 times a week... so my recovery was very smooth...im sure you will be fine...just take really good care of yourself between now and then and you will be great! thanks :-)
Perez3 26 Mar 2013
I agree that leading a healthy lifestyle will definitely speed up the recovery process. I too do not smoke or drink. I haven't exercised though in months as I've been trying to gain weight (which I've succeeded at) prior to scheduling my surgery I did Pilates and cardio often....I am dying to get back to these things as I feel horrible. I just want to get this over with already.....9 more weeks!!! Thanks for your time.
