Almost That Time
I am exactly 1 week in before I leave for Miami and 9 days pre-op! The excitement and nervousness is getting crazier every day and I think I've become obsessed with fat booties lol. I literally look at them all day! So here's what's been going on.....
I have been taking my iron pills since July and finally got time off to spend a day at the doc getting all my labs, physicals, etc back in the beginning of September. Everything was great and I got cleared just last week!!!! I will continue taking my iron pills up until the day I leave NYC.
So unlike many women who have complained about Vanity staff, I myself have had a lovely and helpful and very smoove time with Vanity over the last 3 months. I got quick responses to my questions (sometimes actually being annoying emailing them 5-10 times a day) and they remained patient and very help and informative. I had Lia, Natasha and Amanda and Amanda is AMAZING!!!!!! Since I do not understand most medical terms lol, she had no problem calling my physician's and doctor's here in NY for me. It was very easy communication with her and Natasha and they were extremely friendly! (lia disappeared lol).
I have most of my supplies, but since i will be staying with my sister at her house in Miami, I will get small things like lotions and band-aids/gauzes and little miscellaneous things when I get there. I also will be purchasing my fajas and garments at Fajas Colombiana's since they are way cheaper then at Vanity. I also will not be doing my massages with Vanity (also very expensive) and will have my first massage with Marian and MedicalMassageProfessionals (i got a package of 3 for $165, a current promotion but I will have to only do 1 since their offices are too far from my sister). I found another spa place that has lymphatic massages for $75 a session, called Soothe Therapy, and if you get at least 5, the price drops to $65 per. Since I will only be in Miami post-op for 4 days, I decided on only 3 massages there and the rest when I get back to NY. I don't know why women paid so much for supplies as it seems like you won't even need half the stuff lol.....I think I've spent about $80 on supplies (thanks to amazon) and will probably spend about $50-$75 more by the time I leave.
My spirits are high and I cannot wait to begin the journey. Keep y'all posted! Love

I have been researching about this procedure for...
I have been researching about this procedure for almost 2 years now, and have finally mustered up the courage to go through with it. Although I have not set a date, I am beginning the process and in a couple of hours, making my first deposit with Hasan at Vanity Cosmetics. Just emailing back and forth with the very helpful and nice, Natalie, I began to feel very nervous and even had a teary-eyed moment just watching myself type out these questions and concerns to her about the surgery.
I am 28 years old, 5'4 and 158 pounds. My whole entire life I have kind of dealt with the fact that I wasn't born with the curves of my mother, but sort of cursed with the genes of my father (lol). I have never had hips or a big chest and for most of my younger years I was kind of chubby. I never liked changing my clothes in front of people and to this day, I still hate it. Idk for sure if I have body image issues or self-esteem issues, bc even when I was a gym freak, I loved my results and my body and the slight curves I was beginning to develop. Sadly, after a couple pregnancies, (no births) I had gained weight through them and with an ever-growing amount of injuries from being clumsy, I could not work out to get rid of the weight. I tried everything, and wasted alot of money trying to get back to my volleyball/track days weight and body type. Now being at this age, I have this "[RS bleep] it" attitude and mentality and have decided on this path to making myself happier. Well, I guess I do have body image issues. I just want to feel beautiful and be proud to walk into a room, without having to be worried if my waist shaper is showing, or if my arms are too big in my tank top. I would love for my family to not call me "boyish" or for my boyfriend to feel that I am lazy. Even though this decision is 1000% completely my own, in the back of my mind I know that a piece of me wants the acceptance from those I love. My oldest sister and my boyfriend have been very supportive in my decision; my girl friends have not so much and my other family members have no clue.
I know this post is already crazy long but I had to get all of this off my chest some place since it is so hard for ppl to understand the emotional aspect of this without even getting one incision yet. I am excited for the new me.
