I made it through :)
I wanted to write a quick update to not keep you ladies hanging.
I had my surgery on Monday, been feeling progressively better. It's true what
they say, recovery is no joke. I had a BA and a BBL and I swear, recovery is its own brand of hell! I keep on thinking about all the girls here that had more things done, tummy tucks, lipo of the arms and thighs, etc, in addition to what I had done, and I can't help but feel awe at their resilience. The ladies here are some real badasses!
I ended up getting blood transfusion, my hemo levels dropped after surgery and I was feeling extremely weak. I was given the option of trying to elevate my hemo levels with vitamins first, which we tried, but it was of no help. So although hesitant, I ended up opting for the blood transfusion. It definitely made a difference. I was able to leave by the end of the night on Tuesday.
I've since been confined to the apartment my sister and I rented out. My sister has been an angel for me these days. I honestly don't think anyone could have possibly taken better care of me. I don't even think I could have been as attentive as she has been with me if the roles were reversed. I love her so much!
I will be updating post-op of pics soon. I finally have an ass!! and boobs!!! The ass isn't huge, nothing that particularly sticks out, but Dra. Duran did the best with what I had and I am so thankful for it :).
Dra. Duran is a fabulous woman. Beautiful, intelligent, and obviously talented. I am so glad I made the decision of having her as my doctor. I was so nervous about surgery, but the moment I met her, my nerves flew away. She was so calm and confident that she inspired trust in me. I'm supposed to go see her tomorrow morning, I'll tell you how that goes :)

Monday is fast approaching... my anxiety is building up!
I'm halfway through quite a stressful week. The idea of having surgery right after finals didn't sound so bad at all at when I was planning things out. I figured it would allow me to have more recovery time before I had to go back to school for another semester. I still think it'll work well in that aspect, but the stress of finals and projects and deadlines, combined with getting minimal sleep, isn't helping my surgery related anxiety :/.
I finally got around to telling my parents about my trip and all two days ago. They are fully supportive and gave me their blessings. I thought it would help put me at ease to let them know, since I'd have something less to worry about, but it just made things more real. I'm sooo beyond excited and impatient, but being restless and having a million other things to be worried about is multiplying my nerves.
I've got to think about the prizes at the end of all this: a booty and boobies I wasn't naturally blessed to have and the reward of good grades at the end of a tough semester.
On another note, I have been hard at work on trying to gain some weight for the last two months, but my body just refuses. I've been eating all sorts of things at all times of the day, even often forcing myself to, but the scale just refuses to tell me I've put on any weight. My whole life I've fought with my body to keep weight off and to not get bigger but when I actually try to, it decides it doesn't actually want to get fat...oh the irony.
I got by test result last week. My bloodwork came back perfectly but my doctor detected a mild heart murmur last time she checked and ordered an echocardiogram for me. The echo showed it is nothing pathological and that I should have nothing to worry about. I contacted Duran about it and she told me to bring her my results so they can decided if I need further testing. I'm not worried about it, I really think it won't be a problem and I sure do hope I'm right. Other than that, I just have to worry about keeping my hemo levels up.
As always, thank you for the support and the posts. I love this community.
Next time I write I may already be in DR :). Much love BBL sisters.
