OK IM BACK! Sorry for going missing but I was honestly so down and anxious and filled with emotions I had to withdraw .

Had my surgery yesterday morning at about 6:30am and ONLY had a tummy tuck. Sorry to all my BBL sisters I just wasn't ready yet .

Surgery went great now just waiting for my ride home.
Dra. Cardenas and her staff are the sweetest people I've ever met they are amazing really and truly. The helped me in so many ways and I'm so glad I came here.

Will be back to fill y'all in in a couple days! Thanks for all the well wishes
