I was a little down yesterday but nothing prayer couldn't change! I am seeing a weight loss doctor and receive lipo/b12 injections once a week and take appetite suppressant (Adipex/Phentermine) every day, gym 3 times a week and drink nothing but water everyday (besides my mommy juice ) :) I hope I can get to my weight goal before I leave but it's not looking 2 good 4 me. only 7 lbs down so far, I have 28 more lbs to go.

Do you have to be a certain weight for surgery?
No, I just made myself a goal to reach before surgery since I've read a lot of girls stories saying they wish they would've lost more weight before the surgery and that it helps with recovery. didn't want the surgery to get all the credit for my transition LOL.
Lol ok
upload photos after your surgery, please!!!!!

Seems to me that ever since I've mentioned to...

Seems to me that ever since I've mentioned to certain people around me about my surgery a lot of bad things been happening financially trying to block me from my plans. I am convinced that others are praying against it for their selfish reasons on the low. I'm getting close to my time to shine and I will not let anyone take this from me. I had my $ put up months ago and my things been packed, and I vowed not to touch that $ and ever since I mentioned it to my circle my teeth required surgery, my ol'man's truck mest up I got it fixed and the very next day my brakes went out and my phone that I can't live without is on it's last leg. These were all things that I couldn't go without. I believe it's because of the people around me. I am very good to everyone and would do anything for them and I think they prefer that over me doing something for myself but guess what??!!!! THE DEVIL IS A LIAR! I'm staying in my lane, turning my circle into a dot and in July chucking up the deuces!! Moving in silence from this day forward. *SECRET HATERS* Has anyone else had that problem?

Yes, there are very good dentist in DR. Also, if you need minor work and not veneers, etc the University out there does it for cheap. They are practicing students but the results are good. I know people who go to it. The university is in San Pedro De Macoris a lot of Cubans got to DR to study dentistry. I am not sure how easy it is for a tourist to move around in these towns though... BTW, don't think like that. You actually attract more negativity by acknowledging it. Pray and light up white candles. LOL!
I would like to get veneers. Do you have any recommendations on a good dentist
Thank you that's exactly what I did was prayed about it. I will look into the university thanx for the info.

So I finally built up the courage to post my pics....

So I finally built up the courage to post my pics. This body looks the way it does because at some point in my life I gave up on me to make sure everyone else was happy and I'm so proud of myself for finally putting a stop to that. I'm so over it!!

You should try to get you teeth fixed in DR too probably way cheaper!
I know! I definitely considered it. I was in so much pain I had to start the process but I do intend on looking into it to complete my dental work. Thanx.
I was just looking for a dentist in DR. Figured maybe I could go a little early and get my teeth done before my surgery. Any suggestions on a good one. I can't seem to find anything on the site
If you find one please let me know. I'm looking for one too. Nothing major like your stuff(ouchie girl lol I'm so sorry you are going through all that) but I do want to get veneers. I have a gap and a bit of a protrusion up top and crowding at the bottom. Not gross lol but enough to keep me from wanting to smile big in pictures. Not good for a girl who makes her living as an actress and singer kwim
My husband had dental work done in MX. Paid less then $6000 for airfare, food, hotel and dental work, If he would for had the work done in US over $30,000 the dental office picks you up takes you across the boarder and takes you back across he stay in a hotel in Texas and they would pick him up in the morning and take him across he had to stay 1 week. Since they were based in TX we were able to put in Insurance claim and got back about $1500 so we actually paid around $4500. He got all of his top teeth crowned and most of the bottom teeth crowned and had a couple teeth pulled and some other things done. Here in the US they were going to charge over $1800 on one tooth that was so bad and no guarantee in MX they pulled it. My husband is extremely happy just pissed he did not do the other 6 teeth on the bottom.
If you are going to Dr Robles ask Laura for a dentist she would probably be able to tell you!
I haven't picked my doc yet. Going back and forth between Yily and Duran. Doing my research.
That price was only for route canals on 2 of my teeth. That was my only main problem. I have a lot of cavities and I wanted my teeth cleaned and an implant where I have a tooth missing. That shouldn't cost much out of the country, no major surgery. I don't have any insurance so here it's a pretty penny. If I could at least have the implant done I can handle the rest home LOL
That was a real good deal! I've already paid the $2,000 and had my route canal's and crown's done on my two teeth but now they want 0,000's just to put the crowns on them. And I want an implant on my missing tooth. I don't think that would cost much out the states. I'm glad he was able to get his done, I could imagine how happy he was. I never knew how important keeping up with my teeth was until now :)
Will do! Thanx
I've seen good work from them both. Good luck. I will be following your journey.
