So this is my first post.....
Started this hornet two years ago and I have finally made up my mind to get my Bbl done! I called DrJ. First. His phone consult are three- four months away from the first day I called almost 9 mths away from surgery date! "Ain't nobody got time for dat." When you have the money to pay up front, I think you should have some type of ...never mind....may be you don't. I'm just saying for 10 grand...
Either way saw some post on Dr. Yily! I will be calling her tomorrow for a consult! I want to go ASAP at least by April no later than May! Hopefully she will be able to accommodate my dates! Wish me luck!

Yeah I'll be posting more as the days grow closer! I'm not interested in having a huge ass or even a big one just a round round is fine with me! My current measurements are
46
32
47
So I'm not trying to add to much volume just shape...I want my hips, waist. Tummy....entire tummy, thighs flanks and back taken in...4 inches on everything I listed and thighs take them in 6! I have thick thighs! When I wear skinny jeans I look walking turkey drumsticks. Seriously do! I have kids so I'm not trying to be a urban model type..it's just when I put on an pencil skirt or sheath dress I want to have that hourglass shape but not the over exaggerated "coco""ice tea wife shape". Which is actually my nickname Coco. Funny right! Posting some before pics. One was last year in my dress BCBG love this fabric on me...will be getting more and a skirt I got from Kohls this weekend that I want to wear after my surgery!

Back to reality...I am not buying all these meds as I have been through previous surgeries and I turned out just fine...all these gels and creams and what not are a getting to be lil much..I keep my insicions sites clean and dry and don't take the tape off unless they naturally come off, after plenty of showers it will eventually fall right off. I am considering buying the make me heal surgery recovery kit, but that's about all. My opinion, my blog, do you!

Compression stockings
Surgical body wash
pack of surgical panties,
compression stockings
hibiscus cleanz antibacterial wash for per and post surgery.
Also because my iron is always a single digit number, a fb friend told me about PurAbsorb see pictures! Hubby picked it up at WalGreens and this week it's on sale bogo half off. A girl that had issues getting her numbers up had no issues after one onto of taking these. It's just iron fortified water that you can mix with Juice or water to aid you in adding numbers to your iron count! Hope that helps the iron deficient ladies! Going to get my iron checked today and after a month I'll let y'all know of it work! It has too! Okay have to go! Going to get my new glasses today! Woohoo!

Either way bought some cute stretchy dresses from BCBG and a waist belt..took pictures in one of them ..the black and grey are too sheer for RS! LOL! Had fun!

About six weeks left to go...the wait is worse than waiting on a quote to come back! I have been spending my time buying new dresses and such....wasting time..waiting..! Either way for those you like me who have heavy menstruals and are usually chronically anemic pregnant or not, can ask your reg. doctors to refer you too a hematologist that offer iron transfusions. It is much safer than blood transfusions and can keep you from getting one once in DR, for those who are scared to get them or cannot afford to! Taking care and increasing your vitamin intake now will help...also when going for surgery for iron levels to increase you have to do so long before two weeks to see a change, Especially if you are anemic all the time! it take at least 2 months for me...will keep you updated on what happens next week at my Hematologist Appt.! Take care of yourselves! Until next rant! Ciao Dolls!

Had to...well scratch that I wanted to buy new luggage so I'm all set! Ready to go! Last minute things I have to get done...I may have a issue with my iron call thallesemia in which my iron remains low...no matter what I do! So my hemotologist is going to give me 5, 2 hour sessions of iron transfusion a week before surgery to boost me up! Now she isn't doing this just for surgery, I need it...almost had to get a blood transfusion in November for my iron being a 7. Hopefully this works! In the meantime..I'm going to try spinach smoothies and spinach salad with beets in it! I'll let you know in two weeks how this goes! Wish my iron luck!, cause the thunder thighs got to go!

- 16 May 2013
- 19 days pre
Most lipo suctions ladies have drains...Cabral doesn't us them unless you have TT or you really need them! So I'm rethinking the outfits I'm bringing...I need to bring the darker, cheapest dresses I have. Found one at famly dollar at 40% off after I took a gift bag box back with store credit paid 6 bucks for it! That's one...have some in the closet that I wear just around th house that I will now bring with me! Bought disposable panties also! 3.78 with 2.00 off were 1.78 for 6. Hopefully that works well also. If not I'll use them "that time of the month" so won't ruin my pretty panties!
First Venofer treatment today!

Feeling good...the hemo test from before I started I'm up from a 9 to a 10 so I guess red peppers and guava work! Still waiting on an email from Duran and by now...I figured I should book with someone else.....The lack of organizations will kill a business...my email states one date when I call my name email is no we're to be found on that date....the next day though its there..how can that get mixed up... Idk! "Kanye Shrug" will do consult when I get to DR until I make a descision......ciao Bella until later!

Now reading briefly on RS some ladies get so caught in a doctor that they fail to realize at the end of the day, the doctor has more patients coming in the door handing over money. They are busy enough trying to fix all of us and tend to the newer post op patients than to those who are days and weeks out from sx. Listen to your inner self to know..if you got a fever, check it out, something is green and oozing, check it out...at the end of this journey...I will tagging the doctor for a great job, but also #teambrownbettyboop because I took care of me!

I did just that! I was on the hot bus that stop at every corner from Juan Dolio to the Capital got to Chinatown called Jose Britto best taxi driver ever btw, to come and take me to Cipla which was like 10-15 away! Got here at YIly's office and her office was packed. I asked for Yira. After she got off of the phone, I asked her about my hemo being low and can Yily do the sx with a transfusion or the treatments again. She say idk, took me downstairs to do bloodwork and X-ray then told me to come back upstairs to wait! That was about 9 that morning! I waited and waited and waited, which I planned on doing thanks to the RS ladies for complaining about that. Waited and waited and waited. Either way by 5:20 I was still waiting!
