Hey ladies! I'm planning to have a BBL in Miami...

worriedbutready
Hey ladies! I'm planning to have a BBL in Miami this year, however I am not planning to stay in a recovery house. Here's the catch.. I don't have anyone to stay with me in the hotel room. The two people I have confided in for help in this respect have completely shot the idea down. They don't support me at all, and they do not want or expect me to go through with this. What they don't seem to get is THIS IS FOR ME. It's my body and I've wanted to have this procedure for years...
So what do you vets suggest I do at this point? No recovery house and no friends or relatives to take with me? I know that hiring a private nurse for a few days is an option, but what about transportation and getting into my hotel room safely??

Well im sorry to hear you have no support but if you consider my doctor you wont need anybody. They cater to patients traveling alone and offer a driver RH and 24hour care.

Sorry to hear that. In my opinion you should stay at a RH if you don't have anyone to help you. Keyla's RH is only $100 a night that's if you provide your own food. $130 a night with food.

Thanks for the info! I've never heard of Keyla's recovery. I'll look her up.

You're welcome! She has really good reviews on here from what I have read. I have not read one negative review. I was going to stay there even though I am bringing my mom because I thought renting a car with a condo would be more, but a rental car isn't as expensive as I thought. So I am gonna rent a condo and a car, so we can go somewhere if we want.

With the prices of a miami hotel, especially one thats clean, in a decent area and has amenities like a kitchenette so your not stuck eating fattening foods ordered out, a recovery house is the best way to go if your going alone. $100-$130 is a fantastic price for a place to stay especially if your alone. They provide transportation and help take care of you. Good luck!

Welcome to RS!!! We support u on this journey!! Good luck! If you are traveling alone, a RH seems like the best way to go. I will inbox you the info to Keyla's RH.

Nothing New, Just Some Pics

These are my current body photos. Yikes, I know. I promise I look much better in clothing.
I've also included edited pictures to show what I'm hoping for. I know that to achieve the results I want I will have to lose some weight before surgery, and I'm completely willing to do that.

You have a nice body, looks like you need to gain weight for surgery instead of lose.

Thank you! You think so? I feel like there's more than enough fat in my midsection area lol. I can grab it and move it all around.

How tall are you? How much do you weigh? Have you submitted your pics for a quote? When you do they will advise you how much weight to lose or gain.

Consultation

worriedbutready
Well I went for a consultation today. For some reason I expected the other girls waiting to be as perky, excited, and open as I was. No one really made eye contact and everyone pretty much had a mean mug. I was like yikes! The office was okay. I'll do a more detailed "first impression" on that later if I choose to have my procedure at this location.

I drove all that way and did not get to consult with the doctor because he was still doing a procedure. I could have waited around for an hour or so more and talked to him, but I didn't want to today. I do want to meet him before I put any money down though.
To get a date I have to put down a nonrefundable $500. They're already booked up until the first week of May which is crazy to me, but I know it could be worse. Next time I go in, I want to speak to the doctor and then if I'll put down my $500.

I need to hurry and make a followup consult though. I guess I left so quickly today because I was nervous, but next time hopefully I'll be a little bit more calm.

Good news: I mentioned to you all that I have no support.. and it is still pretty much the same. I haven't told anyone new about the procedure, or about how serious I am about it. They think I'm kidding when I say I'm going to have cosmetic surgery. Well I mentioned it to my friend and she said she would drive me! I was so pleased. I am so glad she volunteered to do that for me because it would have been stressful to find a service to take me back and forth. I feel happy and relieved about that.

Sorry you have to reschedule your consult. Glad your friend is being supportive, thats awesome!
March 3, 2015
As am I , but I'm trying to be positive. I'm hoping I'll find someone who is there for a postop visit or something so I can see the work in person.
March 4, 2015
Did they really tell you May??? How are they giving these different dates out. I'm scheduled for June but wanted April/May but last month it was booked and last week he told me they were booking October.. And I understand what you mean about the support. But I chose to only tell a few people and coincidentally my friends that needed it the most was actually the ones judging me and not being supportive. But I'm super excited and perky about the procedure so if you ever need some encouragement I'm here :)

Hey! Sorry it took me so long to reply, I didn't see the notification for you post. I don't know about the dates? I just went to the office and that's what they told me. Are things going with you??
