Going to see Dr Laserna tomorrow sep26 10:30 am for a bbl consultation she's a local Dr in Sarasota Florida area her bbl staring price is $6500. If for x reason I end not having my bbl with her I will try Dr Azurin or Tijuana MX or Dr Afifi in California. At the beginning I was thinking of Dr Salama but not any more. I want curves and projection not only two soccer balls his bbl from bf where much better. That's my opinion.

So today I had my follow up. Dr Laserna remove the crap I mean the pads and girdle and thanks god I'm healing perfect for first time I was able to see me in the mirror on my new body. Nutty .. It looks good! Omg I couldn't believe my eyes is true what foreverbooty told me. I saw my small waist and my big booty I want to get small but not much. But gosh I'm very happy with me is a big step that I did even that I has to work hard to pay off but I'm glad i did it and that I chose Dr. Laserna thanks to my RS sister I found her and for any future surgeries ill think of her first. She's so sweet I don't have words to describe how amazing she is with her patients and also her staff are super friendly. Ladies hellooooo..... She don't use drains her method is very very good. After taking the fat that she will use for your butt she finish with a smart lipo to smooth the area and that is perfect for moms like me. Yeah I was told by others Drs here to do a TT but with Dr Laserna method I didn't had to. So moms out there if u don't want a TT. Dr. Laserna is waiting for you ;)

Well. As every1 knows I didn't told no1 about my surgery. I had the bbl on Oct 3 12 at 8:00am got home few minutes after 1 in the afternoon. My boyfriend came back home from work and when he saw me walking weird. He ask me. Are you ok?whats wrong with you? I answer I'm fine. I just did a lipo in me. He react very bad at me he told. Are you crazy with all that money we should take a long vacations!!! So I get mad and told him the truth. That he's not paying my bills nor will pay for my lipo. I told him. I'm not asking for money and if you want vacations then save your money and so u can have all the vacation that u want. Girls I new him. He's very cheap that's why I didn't told him nothing about my bbl. grrr I hate him some times. But I feel good. I did all this for me. That's it.

Had an App with Dr.L tomorrow Wednesday 9 at 12:15 but they reschedule for next Wednesday the 16 bc they said Dr.L has an emergency surgery in the morning. That's on. I wait! About my booty is the same flat1 and my waist did change I loose 2" only. But I pay for bbl not for liposuction only! Anyways. There's nothing I can do.

I will ask her what's next on my January 16 appointment I really want and wish she can fix this. I really want to give her a 5 ***** great review.

And after all what she told me even that she don't feel good working with me anymore I been so stupid and asked then how much is gonna be for a second bbl? She and her patience coordinator brought me a papers they told me to go with any Dr that I want Salama Mendieta.. Pay $10k if you want ask to any Dr for second opinion they said but don't say that I'm doing laser lipo to harvest the fat. So I answer her that I wrote that because you never explain that you do the laser at the end. I had to call and ask but it was after I wrote what I wrote and yes I told her I'm not happy with my results but there were a lot of excuses and then I decide to just leave that place with tears on my eyes. They wanted me to sign a release form but I didn't I not even took the papers that they game me to show other Drs for second opinion on top of that my baby girl was crying so at the exit door when I was coming out Dr Lacerna told me. So you going to call us and talk more about it when you baby is more calm? I didn't said nothing only move my head and I left. This was the very worse part Thanks Dr Lacerna. You said you will see me for a whole year but it been 3 months and 2 weeks and you wanted me to sign idk what kind of papers!!release papers? Uh! Thanks again. God bless
