So I've been speaking to Yily through email and she told me its recommended I stay a minimum of 8 days after the tummy tuck before flying back to the US for all the girls asking about how many says need to be taken of work. I asked how necessary it is to stay at the recovery house or if i could just stay at my family's house and I also asked if she has a bank account for the deposit but I haven't heard back about that yet. I'll update as she responds =) I'm also thinking about ferrying some loop to my arms and thighs since its only $450 more!

So after waiting two weeks for an email response i decided to call this morning since i already purchased my flight and wanted to confirm everything. i spoke to a real nice young woman who took my name and confirmed for August 3!!!

So I just sent my deposit through Paypal!!! I called and spoke to Dr Yilys assistant and I am confirmed for August 3. I have a while to go but I'm so excited!!! I bought my ticket a few weeks ago and I'm ready to leave like today!!! Oh, I've also decided that I'm going to have lipo done on my thighs for the extra $250. Can't wait!

I've been going through it these last few days. I'm just sick if being stuck in this body! Exercise doesn't help because I just end up with loose skin. Then I have all this cellulite on my thighs I can't get rid of. I've been doing some reading and have read of some girls getting worst cellulite after lipo which has me worried. I started this red light therapy at my gym which is supposed to help. We shall see. ..sigh..

I'm not really liking the recent reviews coming out about Yily. I'm reading about infections, her wearing the same bloody scrubs to all her surgeries, her not attending to her patients post op and not listening to what patients want as far as shape and size. Whatever is gong on with her she needs to figure something out and get it together. If these reviews don't change I'm considering going to Dr. Augustina Hilario Duran. There aren't any reviews on her, but I've seen some threads of girls planning to see her. She supposedly gives those big donkey booties. That's what I'm trying to get! We shall see.

I've decided not to go through with this surgery. Too many risks are involved. I have five beautiful children in my life and a man that loves me the way I am. Good luck chicas, stay gorgeous inside and out, until next time. With love...

Hello ladies, I just booked my surgery with Yily for Monday July 22nd, I will be staying at a condo I rented. I am traveling with my children. I am from the country so I have a lot of family members to help me with taking care of them and myself. I am looking to get arms, thighs, abs, full back, flanks and possible breast reduction and lift.

DuranDoll2013 1 Mar 2013

Sounds great! Good luck to you! Make sure to keep us updated throughout your journey!
