So over Excited! - Dominican Republic, DO

Ok, so I have been stalking all you ladies for a couple of months (scary right, lol). And finally decided to "be all that I can be" lol. I am debating between Yily and Duran, and welcome any advice from you ladies. I am looking at May 2014 hopefully. And am already dreaming about my new and improved body. I want everything possible, I will update y'all when I know exactly what and with who. Thanks for reading ladies.

Ok, so I'm so sick of trying to lose "baby weight", yes I'm blaming it on my children, lol. But seriously I hate looking at myself in the mirror, putting on lotion, even running down the stairs ( swear, I hear my thighs slapping together), so disgusting. I got my boobies done in May (38B to 38D sometime 36 DD) and need to feel good about the rest of me ( love my boobies, keep feeling myself up, lol). Anyway, my hubbie is so supportive, I can only guess why, lol. He knows that the better I feel about my body the better and more aggressive his sex life is (devilish face made here). I don't think I've ever felt good about my body and am ready to feel complete. I have positive self image but my body image of myself needs therapy.

BTW: I'm 30 years old, 5.5 feet, about 200 lbs (sigh). I have two beautiful girls (7and1) married 10 yrs, this Sept (geez time flies).

I welcome any comments and advice. Still researching doctors, leaning towards Duran instead of Yily (per reviews). I want a TT, BBL, Intensive aggressive Lipo, arms, thighs, back, upper and lower abdomen and whatever else they can do. I would love a buddy shooting for next May. Planned family vacation in August in Dominican Republic, so wanna be able to hold my head up high. How do you lady find wish pics? Every time I search for sexy bodies, etc.. porn pops up. Also, should I lose weight before the surgery?

She says that I must be less than 185 pounds in order to have surgery and diminish the risk of complications.

I'm waiting to hear back about inner thighs and arms. Will update you ladies.

I'm definitely going with Dra. Australia-Fragoso-Baez. She was been awesome. I'm very comfortable with my decision.

Now all I have to do is lose 30lbs!

Ok....so we all have wish pictures. For instance the ones that I posted with this update are what I believe I can look like realistically (combine them all together) I naturally have a small waist and big hips and thighs. I know you can't see it under all the fat, eewwww! But it's true. This being said, I know that I won't have a 24" waist. That's just not my bone structure, and I'm find with that. My point s that doctors can't make you what you're not. You're not going to be 26" in your waist if your waist is a 32" without fat. Now of course you can get your hips padded to get the coke bottle look. I just want everyone to be more aware of our body structures and the limitations of surgeons, so that we are not disappointed.

Anyone else window shopping for clothes already???? I can't seem to stop, lol.

Ok, I'm so annoyed right now. J have gained 5 lbs since my first post. Today I start my regimen to lose 30...well 35 lbs before the SX. I will keep you ladies inform, will be needing all the support.....already I what my spaghetti and garlic bread from last night :(. Instead I had a banana orange smoothie (sigh)

Hey Ladies,

First off, I finally got my quote from Yily $4300, that does not include thighs and arms :(... So that's $300 more than Baez ($4000 with thighs and arms). Now, I recently found a Dra. Disla. One of the reasons that I like her is that 1.) she response FAST, 2.) she's straight forward and to the point, 3.) she has lived in NYC and speaks and writes fluently in English. Now this point is really a plus for me. While I appreciate my Latino sisters and brothers out there. I don't understand most of what they say, definitely can't read it or speak enough to get around ( this is irony because I'm 1/2 Peurto Rician and my father swears up and down that my sister and I have repressed of heritage, lol). This being said, I appreciate the fact that I wouldn't need a interpreter. I emailed her with all the information that she would need and she basically told me that until contact when I lose 20lbs!

Now, most of you would be like WTF, right. But she explained that after I lose the weight, because she won't even schedule me until I do, that she will "make me look like my wish pictures". She quoted me $5500! that's $1500 more than Baez! I will get a requote after I lose the weight and send updated pics of myself. So we will see, I'm still scheduled with Baez as of now. Have to start eating right and stepping up on the exercising, which really sucks:(.

Later chicas, lol

And yeah....still nothing from Duran. Emailed her again days ago.

I hate dieting.....I am having such a hard time NOT eating. Usually I can focus but why when I have so much on the line is it so hard? I'm hungry all the time it seems:(! I have so much going on right now and I know that's a factor in my stress eating but it's pissing me off. My goal is to lose not 30 but 40lbs for the best results.

Ok....thanks for reading my rant....I will focus now:)

Just watched a video of a tummy tuck procedure being done (don't know why). Really fascinating with the muscle tightening. But....I am officially a vegetarian! Well, the ones that eat only fish, lol. I just can't eat chicken or any meat that reminds me of the human insides. I'm so grossed out! Ok, I'm gonna watch a bbl getting done now. Later ladies

Hey Ladies, it's been a while. Hope all are doing well. Yes, I have decided to go with Disla for my surgery. Beaz is supper sweet and responsive and I really like him a lot by what I don't like is her office environment. My husband and I have friends who live in DR, so we ask them to kindly take pictures and well we weren't satisfied and felt very uncomfortable with what we saw. So Disla it is, as you all know I already like her and her results.

On another note I'm losing weight, yayyyyy! So far 12 lbs :) Disla wouldn't even really consider me and give me a real quote until I reached close to 185lb. She needed to make sure I was serious about my weight loss and surgery and I appreciate that honestly. So I have my quote from her which I'm pleased with and will making my $500 deposit in 2 weeks for March 2014....which if financials are as a hope ( and they will....just putting that in the universe) them I can more the date to the last week of February taking advantage of those big sweaters for a couple of months in the "A".

Later Chicas!!!!

Pasted from Q&A
Why Do I Have to Email You to Change My Doctor?
We manually add links to a doctor's profile in your review, so we need to know if you've changed doctors so we can change the link. Also, most people don't change doctors mid-procedure, so it's not a common request. We're happy to make the change for you... just let us know!

$500.00! It really hurt to transfer that money, lol. I hate spending money. I did it through Western a Union online bank transfer. NO FEE! Scheduled for March 12th.

Still on my weight lose journey, doing well. Finishing my Masters and searching for a new job (sigh). I'm tired or being tired, ladies! Wish me luck in my job search....I'm shooting for before Thanksgiving find my job. Wish me luck, blessing, whatever you got, lol.
