Tummy Tuck: Stories

Hello all, after stalking this website for weeks now I have finally decided to begin my journey to a new body with a full tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift and hopefully some fat grafting to my hips. I actually have always had a nice shape and a nice sized butt, but my last pregnancy left me with fat to cover it all up. No more kids for me!!

My Story
I am a 21 year old college student, a mother of 3 (Dont judge me) and My kids have destroyed my body something terrible. My pre pregnancy weight was always in between 127-140 but I gained over 60 pounds from all of my pregnancies. Even though i went back to my pre pregnancy weight i have always had that saggy belly. The last child i have had just left me at 187 Crazy Right, so i decided to try this hcg diet i heard about on youtube and i must say it is really working. At this rate I am hoping to lose 35+pounds before surgery which I would like to get in early march.

I have a consultation on the 26 of this month with Dr joseph alkon and I am super excited. I have been trying to convince my fiancé to let me go to the Dominican Republic to dr yily because I know she can give me the body I want but he won't let me go alone. Maybe I can get somebody to go with me. I was wondering how long would I have to day in dr after surgery? if its more than 5 days i know i wont Be able to go to her. I Will up date soon.

Ok so I went to a few consultations this week and I could not find anyone who I believe would do a nice job with my brazilian butt lift. I think it is best if i go to DR to get the best results. I received my quote from Dr Robles yesterday but I really want to be on team yily so hopefully she will email me back in the next few days and I can make my flight arrangements.

After weighing out the pros and cons and doing some intensive research i decided to go with Dr Robles. I did want to go with Dr yily at first but after listening to all of the realself ladies complain about her poor communication and her attitude i realized that i do not want someone to operate on me and i cant even get in touch with them if needed. Also i don't want a rush job because she has 2 or 3 patients i one day. Dr Robles seems like she is really passionate about her work, plus she dose a wonderful job. Her assistant Laura is very nice, she answers all my questions and emails me back within 20 mins every time. I will be booking my flight this weekend and my mommy will be going with me. i want to try and make this almost as a vacation for her so i think we will be stay at Be live in boca chica. I am so excited i cant wait until March 12th im so ready to get this over with.

Hello realself ladies so I decided to go with dr yily. My mom and fiancé really liked her work better than Robles and I think so to but I was concerned about the communication with dr yily. After calling every other day for a week I finally received a response from dr yily. I do now understand how busy she is with 80-100 emails she gets a day and all the other things she has going on. Although it took a week to get a response from her after that she seems to respond within 3 days which is good. So my date is march 22, 2013 I will be sending my deposit today and purchasing my plane ticket also I will be going alone since my mom and fiancé cannot take off. I will be getting either a tummy tuck, brazilian buttlift, breast augmentation or tt,bbl and extra lipo of arms and inner thigh. I really want to get the tt,bbl,ba done at one time so I don't have to go back but I'm scared to all those procedures done at once. I will determine all that by the end of next week. I started my list and I think I am still missing some stuff, If anyone has had the same procedures done could you please send me a list of things I am missing that i would need I would really appreciate it. So far I have.

So it's official my date is confirmed for march 22, 2013, i think I took someone's date lol. Ladies you best to put your deposit down asap even if its the minimum because she will give your date away which is understandable, cuz some people say they are coming and never show. Im Booking my flight today before it goes back up in price. Thinking of leaving from newark, nj instead of philadelphia because the tickets are cheaper and they have non stop flights. I will also put a post op picture up soon I figured its not fair to post afters and not before pics. I'm so excited and scared at the same time lol, I can wait until this is over.

Ok I am terrified of going to dr yily right now after reading FebruaryLoves post I think I might go with my first instinct (dr robles). Even though her bbl and sculpting techniques are not as good as yilys I feel safer with Robles and she does a nice job. I would rather take a chance of doing round 2 with Robles than taking a chance on my life. Doing 6 people in 1 day is crazy I don't want no surprises on the day I'm going. I'm booked for the same day with both of them but I'm going to keep a look out on both doctors reviews and ima pray on it tonight. Some people say that girl is lying but I honestly believe her. I know there is a risk with any doctor but not the way she described. If anybody has any experience with either doctors please message me because I really want yily but my gut is saying Robles.

So I think I just went through a panic attack the other day I am still going to dr yily on the 22nd as long as there is no more than 4 ppl getting surgery on the same day. i will call the office and find out. I am just going to stay off this site for a while but I will let you all know how the surgery went and post a few pics. This site has just became very negative lately so most likely I will not be posting anymore when i get back to the states.
