Fabbie, I had all the procedures done that you are back in July. Don't worry, the girls at BCRH will wait on you hand and foot. You won't even need your husband there because they're so amazing. Just prepare yourself mentally, I think I really underestimated the emotional aspect of it all and it really kicked my ass. :) Hugs! Shannon

10 day post op. I feel good no real pain. Just got in the house feels good to be home, but I will miss the women from the recovery house. U ladies are something special. so I notice out of the garment I stand up pretty good but once it's on it's back to be hunched over. I am swollen from the flight and a little soar. But its okay cause I am home about to go to bed will update super sleepy.

I am sorry I am late but better late then never. So I hit my 6 month mark and I love my body. I am going back for a second round to finish up somethings but I have to say dr cardenas is the best. I started my journey at 208lbs I am now 190lbs . I never thought I would be able to wear crop tops or bikinis and I have brought 5 already. Dr cardenas you made my dream come true must ppl ask about my bbl and I tell who cares about that I don't have a gut anymore.

Hi Doll! You look amazing!!I will be having my consultation with Dr Cardenas Sept 1, for a LBL, BL, lipo,& BBL (maybe). I was wondering if I can use you as a referral? Please email me at beck8105@yahoo.com I have several questions for you and would love to hear from you. How much did you have to put down for deposit, how did you pay? (cash, wire), etc. I am super excited been waiting 10 years for this and now I'm finally going to do it. Wishing you the best of luck!
