I am absolutely unhappy with the shape of my body...

I am absolutely unhappy with the shape of my body right now. I have a big belly but very thin legs and no butt at all. I am super flat. I hate shopping for clothes because nothing fits right. I have been wanting to do this for a long time but wasn't sure if i should. I finally got to the point where i was ashamed of going out. I decided to do this, i mean if i don't look better after surgery there is no way i can look worse.. lol

I am about a week away! i am sooo excited!! i have...

i am about a week away! i am sooo excited!! i have my medications all ready! my last final is this monday but I'm too nervous to actually focus and study! i will post some pictures up before friday though, most likely monday after my final! i cantttt wait! according to my doctor i was too thin and had to gain about 20 extra lbs, and well I'm getting there! buttttt i found a stretch mark on my belly!! i hope that after the lipo and the swelling i don't get any more :/ ill be back soon! i really have to study and pass these classes!! :D

Ahhhh!! surgery day is tomorrow!! I'm excited and...

ahhhh!! surgery day is tomorrow!! I'm excited and scared!! i wanna get it over with already :]]

Ok, the day of surgery, surprisingly I wasn't nervous nor scared.. I was told to pee in a cup [prego test], and to go into the lil room.. She told me to get completely undressed and put on one of their gowns! The nurse put an IV in my hand and told me to sit down while they tested that. The doctor came in about 5 mins after the nurse left and he stated to mark, asked me if I though it was a right place to do the insistion or not so I was able to give my opinion, he maked all the spots and colored them in, I sat down again and told me the anesthesiologist was going to come in in a few mins to give me the "feel good juice". Anesteologyst came in next, injected clear liquid in my IV. She walked me into the operating room and as soon as i walked it felt as if i was getting drunk from one second to the other! She told me to lay down, I blinked and when I opened up my eyes, It was over! I laid there for about an hour before she said it was ok to leave, I sat on a wheel chain and rolled me all the way to the car, I sat down on my tummy the whole day there. I got home and knocked out! My mom made me jello, so I ate a lil bit every time I would wake up(: I also ate soup :] I felt soo nauseous all day tho,  I was starving but I felt like I was going to throw up.. Soo mostly ate saltines and water. The pain was moderate, I was able to get and walk around with no pain, I was some what still drugged out because as soon as the anesthesia got out of my system my body was in so much pain! I slept all day yesterday and all night too, I got up a few times to pee and I found the easiest way to pee was like a boy..,my sister slept next to me all night just in case I needed something! I'm swollen and it hurts when I move right now .. I can honestly say this is one of the worst pains ive ever been in.. It's an 8 on a scale 1 to 10, it huts like a mfuckr, even when im just laying down! I got my whole back lipoed, my bottom belly, my sides, my arms, my top belly, my love handles, I'm super swollen and the bruises are black so far, Imma go back to my nap, I'll keep  you girlies posted (:

Does anyone feel that a lypoed areas are supper,...

does anyone feel that a lypoed areas are supper, super sore each! :(

So far 3 months have one by and I feel great! I love the results! It's more than I expected! The Dr was able to put 650 cc on each side, I'm more than happy! I'm going to take my side by side pics the 1st week of April! I know it's a lil late but Imma post my after surgery pics [:

Great review?

I agree with you beautyk, the only differences I see is her stomach being smaller. I live and Houston and was considering Dr. Cortes but this kinda scare me.

laylay 23 Mar 2012
Can u send the number and doctor name also did u pay cash or payment plan
rose101 28 Feb 2012
Obiviously she must be unhapy with her result to not respond back to us. I actually had a consultation with the same dr and he seemed like he didnt have much experience. plus he used the laser lipo prcedure which can actually kill the fat. he was trying to charge me 5000 which is cheap.

Hi everyone ... Surgery went absolutely awesome... I look great exactly what I wanted... I must say I am a little uncomfortable but for the most part I cool. It's been 3 weeks and I can say with confidence that I never felt pain just great discomfort. I have gotten a little irritated with not being able to sleep well but hey nothing last forever! My new measurements are 38-33-42 1/2 (of course I'm still extremely swollen). I do hate being numb in my torso and the soreness I can do without but damn I look good and it was well worth it

I Michelle I’m so happy I have found I have been looking for people that know Dr. Cortes and you are the first one I have found in real self, I have some many questions about the surgery, recovery, results and most important about the Dr., I had one consult with Dr. Cortes about 3weeks ago he told me I have to gain weight about 15lb which that’s ok, I’m 5 3’ and weigh 112lb. even do when I meet him he gave me a senses of peace and a feeling that he knows what he is doing and have the experience, but sometimes people have the ability to show something they are not if you know what I mean. Please if you don’t mind can you e-mail me at pamela_588@hotmail.com and share your experience from beginning to end. Also sorry to ask but how much did you pay? You know I’m just so concerned about doing the procedure, spending the money and then not be happy with the results or worse put my life at risk. Well thank you and I hope to hear from you very soon
