So, ive been my reseach for about 3 years now....

So, ive been my reseach for about 3 years now. Bottomline i am unhappy with my appearance. I love who i am on the inside so i need the outside to match. Im so lucky i get to take this journey with such a great person/supporter my cousin. We are both getting tt/aggressive lipo/bbl. Our intial choice was the wonderful Dr. Duran. I managaed to get a quote back from her within 6 days. However my follow up questions went unanswered. I was not at all pleased with that. Kinda, made me skeptical of her maybe overbooking. My cousin also emailed her and she never responded. We both were looking at Dr. Baez as well. She gave us our quotes almost immediately. And even keeps responding to my many questions. Lol. I love that. Not to mention her work is the bomb.com! Ill uplate my email from duran as well everything from Baez.

Starting over...Starting from the beginning

Hey ladies,

I'm not new to realself.com, ive been stalking for years...However, I decided to post now that my journey has begun. I'm 28 years old. No children. I currently live in Indiana. I havent been happy with my outside appearance for years now. Well with my flat ass anyways. Then came the gut which i also now hate. Up until i was about 21, i had the body woman dreamed about but with time it became a nightmare. So then i went on the hunt to find ways to improve it. I started with the hard way...gym time, the gym became too intimidating for me. Then it was Shaun T's Insanity, which worked for me, however i still had lose skin...and as soon as i was done with that, the gut came right back and the workout toned my ass but it didnt give me back my biggness...lol...then plastic surgery came up. Initially i was skeptical because i only knew about butt implants, which for me is not an option. Then i ran across realself.com and saw the bbl procedure, so i went on a mission to learn everything about it. It took me 3 years to be comfortable with the idea. Once i became comfortable i began reseaching doctors. My initial research was only doctors in the US. It was doctor Jimerson. His work is beautiful but his price wasnt. I no longer have the quote email, but his price was over $10,000, hell no! Then i ran into an old friend who had a bbl done by Dr. Salama, he did a great job, his price in 2010 for her bbl was 3800...that was up my alley. I called in 2013 to get quote abs his price was that of Dr. Jimerson. Hell no again. That's when the sane friend told me about the doctors in Dominican Republic. So my research there started. I came across the wonderful results of Dr. Duran, Robles, Baez, Yily etc...but the two winners for me were Dr. Duran and Dr. Baez.

#1 supporter/cousin/sx buddy

As i furthered my research i began talking to my cousin Jazz about it. Jazz is more so a sister to me rather then a cousin. We are 5 years and 2 days apart. #TeamAries...she also had her daughter on MY birthday...yay! Best bday gift ive ever gotten...anyways, Jazz too wanted a bbl, but told me hell nawl to getting it done outside of the US. She still supported me and even was willing to go with me to make sure i was safe. However, I'm such a great researcher, she is now on team Dominican Republic...yay...
