The Turn Around...

Hi Dolls, I wanted to give an update to my seemingly stressful last post. Things are starting to turn around. I have several job interviews lined up for next week and thereafter. I even have an opportunity to work from home with a credible company (no scam, legitimate). As I said before I am not going to be dating for a while and it feels so great. I forgot how wonderful it can be to just worry about myself and no one else. With this journey I am taking, I have also started a personal improvement project called PROJECT ME. I am going to achieve all my personal, professional and financial goals through this project. Lastly, with the help of my RS sisters "LeslieMosko" and "Prissypoo81" I have decided to add Dr. Duran to my list of possible PS. I was very turned off at first with Dr. Duran because I thought she doesn't operate on plus size women but I now realize she has done it in the past just not now. If and when I contact Dr. Duran, I want to be in the best physical and financial shape. As LeslieMosko puts it, Dr. Duran is very busy and get numerous inquiries everyday. Money does the best talking! I want to have all my money because I will send the entire amount after a receive a quote. Thanks to Prissypoo81, I know the best strategy to contact Dr. Duran as she is very hard to get in contact with. Even though, I specifically named only 2 RS sisters, I want to thank the ENTIRE community for the numerous responses and support. Everyone is contributing to my successful journey of self-gratification. I cannot express how much it means to me with words.

Bad Day, Bad Week, Bad Month...Shall I Go On???

I'm pissed, irritated and annoyed with my life right now. Nothing is working out like I would want it to. The only thing keeping a glimmer of sunshine on my dark, gloomy life right now is the excitement of knowing I will be getting a BBL before my 30th birthday. I'm suffering through all the setbacks because I know at the end I will finally have what I want to be a better me. Once I finish writing this review my pity party will be over but for now I just want to complain and vent my frustrations.

First, I'm looking for another job. I found the perfect one but I couldn't take the offer because the timing wasn't right. I've been on the job search for a few months now. What I hate the most about interviewing for a new job is my time being wasted. If the company has already hired someone, has someone already in mind, or isn't going to hire me anyway (which you know after the first interview) then don't waste my time and have me chase after you for two weeks to be rejected!

Second, dating is becoming more and more annoying than enjoyable. I used to have so much fun dating and communicating with guys. Now it's tedious and predictable. The guys all seem to act the same in different variations. First, they start out attentive and after a month usually when I have my fist date, then communication lags a little, following too much time between dates and lastly the disappearing act. Maybe it's my standards? I don't think so because what I'm requesting is not much to ask for. I simply want a guy I can date and have a good time with, if it goes further than that (like a relationship) that's great too.

Finally, the PS decisions, okay I have narrowed down my choices significantly especially since Dr. Almonte said she wouldn't perform my sx. I was very disappointed to find out today that Dr. Almonte will not perform my sx because of one of my medical conditions. I was caught off guard but glad that I had contacted Dr. Robles before Dr. Almonte therefore I felt better about her decision. So Dr. Robles is my #1 in DR and Dr. Schumann is my #1 in US.

What I cannot understand about PS is the amount of shade that is thrown between doctors in the US and abroad??? If doctors here lowered their prices, combined surgeries, or gave incredible shape to a woman's body like doctors abroad, we wouldn't be flocking across the sea to get to them! The amount of work and the results yielded in DR is significantly greater than doctors in the US and then for a cheaper price, who is turning that down? Not me, no way, I became very open to the idea once I realize the results I wanted would not come from a BBL alone. And if I'm going to give up nearly $10,000 of my hard earned money, I want to see how close I can get to my ideal body.

Conclusively, my rant about my life sucking is finally over. I will not let any of these things get in my way on my journey to self-gratification. Quick fixes: I will continue my job search and weed out jobs myself instead of the other way around so my time is used more efficiently. I'm going to stop dating for a while and just focus on what I want in life, a relationship is way down on my list. Lastly, even though I want to, I'm not going to take Dr. Almonte's rejection as a personal insult. Dr. Robles was my first choice before Dr. Almonte and now I know to go with my first instincts.

Deciding Factors...

Hey RS Ladies, first I want to thank everyone for giving me encouragement and support as I overcome objecting obstacles on my journey to self-gratification. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I really appreciate it more than you know.

Secondly, after obsessing and having extreme anxiety over choosing a doctor I have finally made a reasonable decision. Depending on my consultation with Dr. Schulman (hopefully in January), if I can achieve my desired body image with just a BBL, then Dr. Schulman will be my doctor and I will be a SCHULMAN DOLL, YAY! If I can achieve my desired body image with a TT and BBL with LIPO, then I am headed to the DR baby! Since I know I want to have a PS that knows how to sculpt a plus size woman into a curvy doll, then I have two extremely talented doctors...Dra Robles or Dra Almonte. I'm leaning toward Dra Almonte because she has more before & after photos of plus size women which makes me feel really comfortable in her hands. Later on I'm going to do a pros and cons list of doing the surgeries between the two doctors. I'm VERY anal when it comes to making major life decisions involving my health and money. If any RS ladies are having trouble deciding on a PS between the two as well I'll post the pros and cons list later tonight (I have insomnia at night).

Lastly, I wanted to give the best of wishes for successful surgeries and recoveries for ALL RS Ladies who have upcoming procedures. Good luck and I'll see you on the other side relatively soon!

I haven't even had my consultation yet but so far the office staff is great. I submitted an inquiry yesterday and someone from Dr. Schulman's office called me today in addition to emailing about his practice, his reputation and the surgery itself. This really impressed me. I can't even get my PCP to return phone calls, lol. Some of my questions were answered, which I really appreciated. I've done my research and I know without a doubt that I want Dr. Schulman to do my BBL and lipo.
