Edgar Contreras, MD

I’ve been doing my research & consultations with doctors all over the USA and I don’t seem to find any with the beautiful snatches waists as docs from D.R. I understand the many disputes people have made against overseas surgery. I feel that they have so much attention focused on them due to the high demand of clients, hence more clients, more deaths/complications. The same happens in USA, but we don’t hear about those cases because overseas docs aren’t worried about blasting them on google blogs and news, unlike American docs who are financially hurt by the business being taken overseas to better docs. Anyway, I’m not here to encourage anyone to go overseas, but I am explaining what I believe and want no negativity or convincing that what I’m doing is not right. I’ve read about my doc and his cases in the last 20 years. I have a good feeling for him, although yes at first I was affected by the research that Americans and others broadcasted on google, but as I continued to research docs in USA, I found that my doc is even more qualified and his background I admire. I booked my flight and hotel, can’t wait!! I became a tad anxious once I did the booking, but hopefully I can keep sane until then and after. Lol

I will post my before images along with what I would like done to my hips/butt and stomach. I photo shopped my images which I feel gives me an exact “wish” pic. :)

Well, the anxiety has set in right after booking the flight and hotel. I’m still super excited and can’t wait. I’m just scared I won’t have enough fat but doc says he’s sure to find the fat to give me a good projected butt. Just don’t wanna go through all this and not have anything to show for it. I’m expected to spend at least $12k for 2 weeks of staying there, plus the pain I’m sure there will be some type of pain. I’m good with pain, but then again never had surgery, lol. I did blood work and tested for everything there possibly is, including hemoglobin. I just wanna make sure nothing gets in the way of surgery. My hemoglobin in 14.5, yay!!

I’m currently looking for a rental car for Dominican Republic but it seems so hard to find a SUV for two weeks at a reasonable price considering the insurance is $400 alone! Smh. It’s almost as much as the vehicle.

Any info on getting car insurance in D.R without going through the rental company would be great!

Updated on 12 Aug 2018:
Man, insurance for rental car is just as much as the rental car itself in Dominican Republic. I did some research and found that my business visa credit card actually provides the collision insurance. It doesn’t cover injury, so hopefully collision is all that the rental companies and Dominican Republic require. I do not wanna spend $400 just for 15 days worth of insurance.
My guy told me a SUV would be best in Dominican Republic, as there are crazy drivers there compared to USA. I guess I’ll blend right in, since I consider myself one of those crazy drivers in USA.
Well, 15 more days to go before my surgery date. I’m excited and can’t stop dreaming about it. Lol.

As I’m packing, I am also trying on clothes, making sure I bring baggy dresses for comfort and stretchy shorts and tights for afterwards. Pictured, I have these stretchy jeans that feel like tights, so I’d like to see the difference in them after surgery. I know I’ll be swollen a bit afterwards, but it’ll be nice for comparing before and after.

Updated on 13 Sep 2018:
Here’s my after photos. Surgery was very professional. I enjoyed my time in Dominican Republic for 2 weeks, I would love to go again.
I was walking the day after my surgery, slowly, but just fine. My stomach and backs skin was super tight. I bruised a bit here and there, but my butt had no pain. I feel I was misled to sit on my bottom after surgery by my massage therapist. She claimed that the fat i have is mine to keep, not to worry about sitting on it. I read after a few days of buying a second faja from fájate (I don’t recommend). They sold me a faja extremely too tight. The butt part ripped when I sat in it the first time. They told me it was suppose to be that tight. It made my arms tingle and numb. I knew it couldn’t be right but my boyfriend insisted that I go along with their guidance because they’re in this business and know better. Little did I know is they were just trying to get rid of the XS. I wore it for a day and night despite the ripped butt hole and feel that it did damage to my BBL fat transfer. It squashed my hips in extremely tightly and my butt was flat when wearing it. Next day my butt was not as bubbled as before. So sad about that. They didn’t offer refund or exchange the next day and were very rude. Rule of thumb, buy a garment that fits the butt and have the waist fixed by a seamstress for $500 pesos in Dominican Republic. I went to a lady next door to dr. Contreras.. she was great! She altered my first faja from clinic and my ripped butt hole faja from fájate. The butt was ripped because it was made of panty hole material, just FYI. The one from clinic had a better cotton material.

Here are my before and after photos. I highly recommend Dr. Contreras. His clinic was amazing and very well organized.

Love it when I sit, my ass/hips pop out the most. Wish it would look this big when standing, but that’s alright. Thankful for the added plump.

Updated on 30 Mar 2019:
Haven’t changed my eating habits. I still eat the same, which is about 2-3 decent meals a day, plus snacking through out. I stopped wearing my faja consistent in January, but recently started up again as I’ve noticed my waist isn’t as curvy as I would like it to be. Still looking good but just not the smallest waist I know it could be.

Updated on 6 Jun 2019:
I had cellulite before, but after the BBL, seems that it’s just getting worse. I have been lifting weights and doing my normal exercise routine, maybe I shouldn’t? But I prefer staying healthy and in shape. I dont run or cardio a lot, just about 15-20min stair climbing and squats with weights.

Heyyyyyyyyyy from California ????????????????????????


Okay. So I don't even know where to begin. I'm obviously interested in getting plastic surgery. Lol For the past two weeks, I've been researching online, on here as well as YouTube for information and just reading people's journeys so I know what to some what expect.

Initially, I was just going to get the procedures done here in my home town because it seemed easier than traveling out of town to only get it $1000 cheaper. I went to Dr. Barnes here in my town and had a face to face consultation. The quote wasn't a direct price but a ball park range for each procedure: BBL-$8000-$10,000 BBA-$5000-$6000 TT-$7000-$8000. With Dr.Barnes, to book the surgeries I would have to pay $1000 deposit per surgery. Also, my current BMI is 36% and I need to be at a 32% to preform surgeries. I knew I needed to lose more weight before I even began looking up any information about the procedures. I recently lost 90 pounds. So I was planning on keeping it going until surgery time anyway.

I also contacted Dr. Hughes also here in California just in the Los Angeles area. I emailed him yesterday and he got back to me yesterday requesting photos and more information about myself. I sent it to him yesterday and he replied today asking for more information. But he did say...."I think that liposuction of the upper and lower abdomen, sides, lower back, upper back, inner thighs and arms with fat transfer to the buttocks would be reasonable. I think that you will also benefit from tummy tuck in the future to address the loose skin. I think that you can do breast augmentation but I think that a breast lift will be helpful as well." After I got that email was when I really decided on getting a tummy tuck because of the way my skin is from losing so much weight. I like the prompt response I got from him. He should be getting back to me with a quote soon and I'll update you dolls as soon as I get that information.

During my research, I also found that a lot of people get a lot better results and pay about a third of the cost going out of the country. At first I was completely against it until I started seeing videos and reading reviews about how successful most people's stories are. Soooo I have thrown going out of the country in as an option as well. With that being said, the doctors that I have contacted already are Duran, Baez and Diaz. I emailed Diaz today and he responded a few hours ago, he only gave me a quote for tummy tuck and bbl. The price for the two would be $4000 USD.

One of the main reason why I'm even considering going to DR to get my surgery is because of the drastic difference in outcome. Also, the price difference. Even with travel, over night nurse, recovery home and surgeries it's still cheaper to go out of town. I'm going to pay extra at the recovery house so my friend or boyfriend could some and help me after surgery.

I know that I need to get down to 200 pounds in order to have a healthy surgery which is no problem. I plan on getting my procedures done in April so I can be somewhat healed for my birthday in June. I have 34 pounds to go! It's very doable especially because I know what I did last year to get my weight loss jump started.

I'm excited to decide which doctor to go to and pay my deposit so I can be a FABULOUS DOLL!!!!!

I plan on keeping updated on here throughout my entire process because I have yet to find anybody to keeps updating from before surgery to one year later with updates and pictures. So until next time dolls..... ????????????????????

Any dolls stay at cipla after sx?

Updated on 27 Dec 2015:
Starting my vitamins early because of some research I was doing today on the hemoglobin. The hemoglobin Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Now, being that I am anemic, I already have a lower hemoglobin than most people. So I decided to start taking my vitamins early so that I can ENSURE my hemoglobin levels are high enough to get my procedures done. I would be mad as hell to get all the way to the DR and be denied because of something I could have prevented. It makes sense why our hemoglobin levels have to be high for surgery. If it's low, we won't have enough cells transferring the oxygen to the lungs which can cause MAJOR complications during surgery!!! I added the b12 because I use to take b12 shots last year and it helped boost my weight loss. I want to lose 20 more pounds before surgery because my BMI is currently straddling that NOT OPERABLE range. lol

As a part of me getting ready for SX, I'm bringing back a lot of things that I did last year to lose 80 ponds because I do want to drop 20 more before sx. Since my lowest weight, I've gained like 20 pounds back ???????? (got into a relationship with a chef... ???????????????????????? REASONING WHY: he always cooks lol) I use to wear these 3 sweat bands. L e right under my bra line, one on my lower stomach pouch ???? and one in the middle yo bring it all In. I also wear these when I work out and do my cardio. I just started getting back into the gym and plan to lose 20 pounds before sx! I'm excited to start this new journey, I know I can do it because I've done it before! ????????

You gotta make a sx Instagram!!!! It's like real self but on Instagram!!! I found sx sisters and they helped me ultimately decide who I was going with!!! Also additional tips to boost my hemo and more!
Most ladies keep their page private and if you don't post or aren't on the journey they won't add you! Feel free to add my surgery page it's trxlldoll2016!

I've decided to go with King Cabral in DR! My quote was $5000 for TT, BBL with LIPO of inner thighs, stomach, back and flanks with far transfer to hips as well!!!! I've booked my date in March! I'm super excited

Updated on 1 Jan 2016:
So, since I picked what dr I was going to, it was time to find a place to stay for my recovery. I was messaging a lot of different RH's and Wendy was very responsive and very discriptive!!! I ask a lot of questions and can be complicating sometimes..... I'll be staying there for 14 days total. And my quote is:


First 9 days in the single
At $85 per day is (not charging for night of surgery)
$680

Next 4 days in the double $75 per day (taking off a day because you are staying more than 10 days in total) balance is
$300

So all together it's
$680 + $300 = $980 for the recovery house stay

$980 plus the $125 Transportation package which includes the airport pick up and airport drop off from our personal driver, who also speaks English. It as well includes unlimited rides to the doctors and back only as the doctor will require to see you several times or everyday thru out your visit.

I know for a fact I will be more on Instagram post op because I'm already more on Instagram now and I haven't even left yet. Soooo if you haven't already go make a sx Instagram page and add me.

Now, I would also like to say that this is the list that I have complied for myself from looking at other list from ladies who supply post op supply boxes. I was not going to pay my money for that when I can just go out and get the stuff myself. And save money doing it.

Now all of that stuff won't be going to DR with me. I'll make another post later when I actually start packing.

Updated on 16 Jan 2016:
Let's talk hemo... Okay so as you all know (if you've been doing appropriate research) DR doctors require your hemo to be at a certain level before you can get cleared for sx. Cabral requires all his barbies to have a hemo of 13.0 to be cleared for sx. So I had my first appt with my PCP and they did test ok my thyroid, CBC, etc. So being that I am anemic and had just gotten off my period, I wasn't expecting my hemo to be very high. But it was a 13.3. Which I was very happy about!!! I want to raise it one point by March. So I want it to be a 14.3 but I'll settle for at least a 14.

Now if you don't know what the hemo is, you probably shouldn't be getting sx soon because you haven't done enough research. So google it just like I did. :)

Also in the picture you will see a bottle of blood builders... A lot of women take that. I opted to get the freeze died raw beet juice powder instead. Because the blood builders contains the vitamins that I'm already taking every day puls beets... The powder has more beets than the blood builders. And it's cheaper, I got it from Lassen's Whole Foods

A few things that I have added I will add pictures and tell you how I use them.
Other things that boost hemo:

Red meat
Beets
Shrimp
IRON
Beef
Liver
Tofu
Asparagus
Pineapple
Dried fruits
Almonds
Whole grains

Basically have a good balanced diet and your hemo will be raised. But there are other things you can take and do as well.
Check out the pictures and HAPPY HEMO RAISING ;)

I am officially down to 235 pounds from 254 on December 8th!!'n YAYYY MEE!!! That brought my BMI down from a 37% to a 34%. I want to get down to 225 before sx so my BMI will be 33%!!!

Updated on 21 Jan 2016:
Was at the ER yesterday for some [RS bleep]... ANDDD they did a CBC.. My HEMO is a 14.3 YAYYYYYY

That beet juice powder works REALLYYYY GOOD!!!!!

And I drink a tablespoon in a cup or orange juice like every other day. I will continue to do that until I leave DR. (See previous post about Hemo to see other things that have helped me)

Updated on 24 Jan 2016:
So I know that this is probably normal but I'm in a complete ball of nerves. One minute I'm excited and happy and wana hurry it up, then I'm scared, then nervous, then anxious then I get cold feet and I'm like [RS bleep] it and just forget what I've spent already. Most time I'm ready and excited!!! And I just text my friend this and he said go with your heart, so I said my heart is like "[RS bleep] yeah [RS bleep]!!! We gone be fine as [RS bleep]... We're doing this!" Lol I'm so ready to be snatched but then I just get in a ball of nerves.



Okay, I'm better now. I've read a lot of dolls say they go through this. It's natural for such a life changing event. 36 days until I leave to go to the dr OMG OMG OMG IM EXCITED AGAIN okay, that's all Thanks dolls

Updated on 31 Jan 2016:
I am no longer staying at high class recovery for my stay. Nothing against the RH or Wendy personally but I met two ladies who are my SX sisters and I would feel more comfortable staying at the RH with them. So I will be staying at Princess Recovery House. I will save my deposit with Wendy for when I go to Contreras for my Tatas!!!!

Updated on 8 Feb 2016:
I'm basically all packed...

Still have to get:
a boppy (or something similar
Arnica tablets
Arnica cream
Bromelain
Ugly pack panties


And I'm done!!!

I'm new to this site so I hope I'm doing everything right, but I really need help. I have narrowed it down to two doctors and I'm having an impossible time choosing. Dr. Hilario Duran and Dr. Micheal Salzhauer. Can anyone help me out or shine some light on one of these doctors to help me make a decision?

Updated on 20 Jun 2015:
Does anyone have any clue the best way to get in touch with Dr. Duran???? I was trying to schedule my surgery for December 2015 but people were not kidding when they said Duran is impossible to get in touch with. Anyone who has talked to her please help me figure out how to get in touch with her?!!!?

Updated on 24 Jun 2015:
I email Dr. Duran about 2x a day to try and get a response. It is hard work but I have faith that it will be worth it. Anyone have any ideas on how to get in touch with her a little quicker!?? I don't want to wait months like some people just to get a quote from her

Updated on 24 Jun 2015:
I pray Dr. Duran can get me as close as possible to my wish pics!!

Updated on 30 Jun 2015:
Ok so I've been emailing Dr. Duran faithfully once a day, yesterday I decided to fill out the application on her website for an evaluation and shortly after called her office number. I talked to Elizabeth and she told me to call back Friday at 3:30pm so hopefully I can get a quote then. Fingers crossed!!!

Updated on 4 Jul 2015:
So obviously the emailing Dr. Duran 2x a day every day has paid off because after doing it for 3 weeks now she finally replied! Also if you're trying to get in touch with Duran and don't want to email that mug full out and online application for an evaluation and call Friday's at 3:30pm dr time and ask to speak to Elizabeth if you don't speak any Spanish.

Updated on 7 Jul 2015:
So shooting to have the surfer May 12th with Dr. Duran just need to make sure that date is available, get an official quote so I can pay the deposit. I'm so excited!!!! Hopefully may gets here soon!!

Updated on 26 Jul 2015:
I'm literally so freaking pissed because I get a email from Duran this morning and it says
You have to be under 34 your MBI so that you need see your doctor and ask sbout.
Dont pay deposit until this part is ready and untill we send a quote to you. If you do before you can lose your money because in this way deposit dont mean nothing and we are clear before surgery that deposit is not refundable just under health issues and Doctor need contact to us.
Greetings
So basically she won't give me a quote or let me put down a deposit to secure my date when I have seen females way bigger than me have surgery and my BMI IS ONLY FREAKING 30.4!!! I weight 161!!! Even if I weight less than 180 at like 176 or something my bmi would still be less than 34! It would be 33. I'm upset and I really don't know what to do. Can someone help calm me down.!? I don't even want to have the surgery till may 2016 so she's acting like I cannot lose a couple more lbs until the BUT SHE WONT EVEN TELL ME HOW MANY LBS I NEED TO LOSE!?

Updated on 7 Oct 2015:
I switched to Dr. Contreras!!! Dr. Duran has amazing work by it irritates me how she doesn't reply when we're the ones spending our money. I've seen a couple girls complain about them having trouble getting in contact with her after their sx and that makes me very nervous!! Because just my luck something will happen and she won't respond. So I came across Contreras I've always thought his work was amazing but I was honestly dodging going to him because of Th deaths :( but I couldn't deny anymore how good his work is and when I emailed him I didn't have to wait months like I had to with Duran, he emailed me back within like 20 mins. Duran quoted me 4,000 he quoted me 2,500. I know God has me and if it's not meant for me to home to him he will keep me safe. So I have faith I will go to Contreras for sx and come out safe and fabulous!! Sx date changed from May 12th to May 9, 2016. He also doesn't require deposit to secure date which is nice so I'm already down in his books for that day

Hey all... I finally picked my surgeon. I will be going to dr and having the magical hands of contreras perform my surgery. I'm planning on getting a bbl and breast aug. I've scheduled it to be done 4/23/15. He quoted me 4000 and he has his own recovery house which fits perfect in my budget.

I'm looking for a surgery buddy though so if anyone is out there and is going at that time send me a message and if anyone of you know anyone let me know I would love a travel buddy.... You guys can also follow me on ig 

I'm hoping that I get the same results as my sister and best friend. My family isn't curvy at all. We're pretty much shaped like sponge bob and I'm ready to finally be happy with my appearance. I'm looking forward to having the surgery March 2015. Not sure who's going to accompany me yet. I'm so anxious tho!

Okay, so at first I just KNEW I was going with Yily because my sister and BFF have awesome results. They are very pleased as am I being that we ALL had the same body type/size. Yily was quick with her first response. She replied within 48 hrs. After sending that other email, I haven't gotten another response and it's been a week. Also, I discussed with my sister some of the reviews I've read about Yily not doing her own work and she says when she woke up Yily was NOT in the room doing her surgery. She says she didn't panic over that. She was more traumatized that he woke up while having surgery. My best friend says that her travel buddy (who did NOT have surgery) watched her be taken away for suregert and THEN another girl 20 minutes later! Both Yily patients and both being wheeled into recovery at the same time. Meaning more than likely someone else did one of their surgeries. That is why it seems Yily's work can be a hit or miss.

I do not want to have to get all this work done only to have to go back for ANOTHER doctor to do EVERYTHING all over again.

I've received quotes from Baez and she seems nice, but I'm reading some sketchy reviews. Her prices are great, but I'd rather pay more for the job I want.

Cabral didn't get back to me thru WHATSAPP, However every message was read (Spanish) and every picture was viewed. So I exes him out.

My big sister said to go to Duran. She had a consultation with her the day of her surgery, but stock with Yily because that was who she initially decided on.

I cannot wait to look in the mirror and SMILE. Wish me luck ladies.

Sooooo, I'm going to have surgery with Dra Duran. I've been interacting with her thru email and social media and I love her personality and spirit so much.

I'll be traveling with two other ladies who are both having surgery also. March 2015 can't come quick enough. Lol

I wanted to recover at Serenity RH for a few reasons. I've also heard VERY good things about Kindness and My Home recovery houses. So, picking a recovery house may be the hardest thing.

I won't be getting the TT because that is where all my fat is at. No stretch marks. No loose skin. Just fat. If I get the TT (which I never really cared for) Duran couldn't lipo my stomach and that means I wouldn't have enough fat for the BBL. I am NOT letting her lipo my arms and thighs. Back, flanks and stomach only. So, healing won't be as bad as I thought.

If any of you ladies reading this have any reviews, good or bad, about the three recovery houses I've named, please share below. Thanks ladies :-*

So, I'm going to have surgery with Dr. Edgar Contreras on March 23rd. I am NOT getting a tummy tuck. Just full body lipo and a BBL.

I'll be staying at Recovery Armonia. Traveling with only one person now. My bff is going for her round 2 and is undecided who will give her a BL at this time.

Waiting for my passport to come thru the mail and going to buy some pretty luggage and some necessities for the trip tomorrow.

Monday I go to see my PCP to check my hemoglobin levels again. I'm over 13. Hoping to get to a 15 or 16 by the time I fly out. Just in case my levels drop. I am only taking folic acid, iron pills, ferrous sulfate pills, and vitamin C on top of eating iron rich foods.

Well ladies, I'll be doing another update and postingphotos as my surgery date approaches.

Hi Ladies !!!!!! I am new to RS and would appreciate anyone's advice and insight on sx in DR. A little about myself: I am 26 yrs old, college grad, professional, no children, engaged, and blessed to have wonderful friends and family. 5'3", 128 lbs. In between Baez, Disla

Updated on 20 May 2014:
Not sure why my initial post got cut off :/ ... In between Baez, Disla and Tania Medina but leaning towards Disla. I see that Duran and Yily are amazing at snatching waists but i want a more natural look, besides, the fact that it is extremely difficult to get in contact with them really put me off. I would appreciate any info on Baez , Medina and my girl Disla. So far Disla is the most informative, even spoke to me from her cell while running errands (love her) !!.... I am naturally slim but have a naughty stomach pouch and my waist just started expanding out of no where smh. Got quoted the same for Rhinoplasty, lipo of stomach and flacks and fat injections to hips and booty. Looking forward to building relationships with you dolls ! Muah !

Updated on 23 May 2014:
After reading so many reviews, now I've thrown Dr. Manuel Diaz into the mix. He has awesome reviews and everyone speaks highly of his bedside manner and overall talent to sculpt. Sent him an email yesterday, still waiting for response. I truly hope he doesn't think I'm too thin as Dr. Baez said. I have time to put on 10 pounds if need be :/ . So my current lineup is Dr. Disla , Dr. Tania Medina , Dr. Diaz and Dr. Baez only if she agrees to do bbl after weight gain, otherwise she wont touch me. Also, any insight on these dr's skills regarding Rhinoplasty? I cant be too focused on my booty and end up with a jacked up nose. ** le sigh **

Hi Dolls, so one of the attorneys at the firm that I work for confided in me and shared her plastic surgery story. She went to Edgar Contreras about 2 years ago and she looks AMAZING. According to her, he specializes in petite/small women, also good with tummy tucks but she wouldn't recommend him for larger women. Im 5'2" and weigh 132 lbs (gained some weight since my first post), trying to get to 135-140 for surgery. He's also the renown king of facial plastic surgery..... So i got to researching and discovered the malpractice issues. I'm seriously torn right now. I do understand that there are risks with any surgery but Contreras and Cabral have had more legal issues than most. But that can also be because they've performed more surgeries than the others.... le sigh ladies ***. I saw a few Rhinoplasty before/after from Contreras and those are PERFECTION. I'm confident in his skills but i cant help to feel hesitant about the BBL. I will email him today and see how he responds and addresses my concerns and take it from there. If anyone has gone to him, please give me feedback and send me pics :) xoxxoxo

Hey ladies,

I know its been a while but my mom fell ill over the last few months and i just had to tend to my family and put this surgery on stand by for a bit. Thank god she is feeling a lot better so i may very well get back on track with getting snatched.

I have to tell you guys that the most responsive Dr. has been Contreras throughout this entire ordeal. Is anyone going to him around October 31st or first week of November ??? I would love to have a buddy because my sister can no longer go with me :(

Updated on 11 Nov 2014:
Hey gals !! Im flying to DR tonight at midnight at land at around 4:45am. I am having surgery tomorrow with ..........**drumroll please** ....... Edgar Contreras! I'm confident with my decision so please no negativity on my page. I'll be staying from Wednesday -Monday, although I plan on moving my flight to sunday if I feel well enough to fly. I'm only taking a large carry-on with the following: 2 sweatpants, tank tops (for under faja), 3 shorts, 5 underwear, 2 maxi dresses, leggings, 3 loose tops, maxi pads, baby wipes, hibiclens, gloves, alcohol pads, and my vitamins. I'll be staying at his guesthouse and they supply many of the other necessities.

BIG shoutout to ISISS69 for answering my questions, she is such a doll!! and NVMEBEAUTY for having one of the best pages on here, both funny and informative !

I'll touch base once i'm at the airport or once I land. Say a prayer for me ! :)

Ladiess , wiw if has been a minutee since i Updated this damn thingg ,, excuse the frenchh .. how have you ladies been .. i never stopped atalking this sitee.. want to send prayers out to any one that was affected by the Orlando Tradegy.. God bless .. Noww.. i have finally chose my Dr. After yearss LITERALLY of researxhh ,reviews.. iHave chosen Edgar Contreras..Thats Rightt ..DR HERE I COME BABY.. i wa leaning toward Cabral amd i came across Comtreras.. Very fast response.... i have stalked him and Cabral's Insta ..but im goin with Contreras.

I am so excited with this new year. I am in the process of going thru a divorce and possibly being engaged in the next couple months which is crazy, I know. Dont judge me! anyway i was in a relationship for 9 years. My ex = wife yes I said wife! love BBWs and I had gastric sleeve surgery a year ago. I lost 100 pounds . Im still loosing slowly but I have always been insecure about my appearance, even though I am pretty i feel that my body doesn't match my personality. My ex cheated on me constantly. So I finally built up enough courage to leave and start pver. So now that i am starting over my ex has moved in with her mistress. We do have children together. She doesnt take care of them. So i decided to do somethingn for myself. I will be going to DR to get a breast lift with implants , lipo and BBL. I haven't told anyone because I want it to be a surprise. My soon to be fiance is my support system and dont really care to much about the surgery, but if it makes me happy she is supporting me. So i am not getting a tummy tuck even though I need it. But due to the fact my love want a baby i will wait for a tummy tuck for a year or so.

my flight is scheduled omg what else to do! This has to be short ladies today is me and the bae anniversary. What is the list of things you ladies plan on taking

Updated on 6 Feb 2014:
I tried to do the Name your price thing.but my mom went ahead and scheduled it. We also have wheelchair assistance upoin returning home. I dont know if we will need it but hey I cant carry my bags anyway ((breastlift and aug). Im thinking how am I going to deal with my son when I come home, he is such a mommy boy. I always hold him. He will be 2 in March. My gf is super nervous she has been arguing about the littlest things and its all because she is worried. We are now stuck on the idea of a recovery house because I dont want to shell out $1840 all together for my mom and I. Thats just crazy. And i Know I will have buy fajas and etc. Im a single mom my exhusband dont do anything for my children so every dollar counts. my purpose for this surgery is to build up myself esteem and motivate myself to enjoy life. I have had a hard life and excepted alot of things I probably wouldnt have tolerated. Like a cheating spouse, or not trying out for dance teams and sports due to my body. I didnt go into the military due to my weight. So now that it is coming off like butter and before i turn 30. im going to get this body right! I move on and have a loving and wonderful gf who is enlisting in the military. So i am excited to start my life over and finally breathe.
and part of this journey is starting in 11 more days!!!! I can barely sleep at night, because im so anxious my gf said she is going to get me sleep aid I havent slept in like 2 days.

Updated on 6 Feb 2014:
Should I get my butterflies done now or wait till after I get my Breast lift and Aug? If i wait till afterwards how long do I have to wait?

Updated on 12 Feb 2014:
Super sad, I may be only getting one thing done. Got tax money back and someone took a good chunk of it. So know I have to choose. Breast lift wit Aug, or bbl

Updated on 12 Feb 2014:
Still waiting in his response. Uuuugh

Updated on 17 Feb 2014:
Okay with God'grace I'm still moving forward. I'm at the airport right now! With my mom seem to notice she make things so complicated. I ugh anyways I took my babies to school this morning and kissed them bye. I dropped off my girlfriend at work she was crying. Said she didn't want me to leave we haven't been separated since we were together. But she changed up after a couple hours and told me to enjoy myself,And watch my calling lol. Anyways anyone who is there between now and Feb 27th. I will have a rainbow book bag and I have long dreads. Already starting to have translation problems at airport

Updated on 22 Feb 2014:
Hey ladies,
sorry I have been MIA for moment.I was recovering. And dealing with some emotional issues. This journey can take a toll on you . Anyways last time I updated you gals I was telling you how my mom was working my ever lasting not having nerves. She swears she knows everything, but she has never traveled abroad.Well we arrived at the clinic late, but it was my fault partially i went to see a dermatologist but to my surprise he was located a CIPLA. His name was Manuel Valerio. He speaks english and very flamboyantly gay lol. He was a sweet heart. He told me to let you ladies know dont be scarred, if you looking for A skin doctor. We rush over to Cardiology due to the fact we had no idea that he was still waiting on us. he slapped alcohol on us like a mad man. We were in and out. the price of the test was 60. while sitting in the car waiting on jose i started eating my sunflower seeds which im addicted to. He gets in the car and says you cant do lab-work because you eating, i was flabbergasted, due to the fact nobody told us that. So we had labwork first thing in the am. which was another 60USD.Well being that I went to a dermatologist before surgery and he lasered my face i looked like a black leopard, the spots on my face darkend. Everyone was looking at me crazy, dont know if it was my face or the fact that i probably was about the only plus size queen in the building. anyways i get called in to meet the doctor the head man in charge. His office was beautiful well i went in for my consult. one of the things that sold me was he wasnt pushing me to have a tummy, though I knew i needed it as bad a my heart beat. but my fiance is going into the milatary and we were talking about 1 more kid. Anyway when he seen my pooch he asked me why hadnt i had that cut off years ago, its unhealthy and puts a strain on your back. He told me that he wasnt concerned about the money part and he was going to give me a tummy tuck, i started crying due to the fact I knew me and my bae had plans for a kid. but for some unforeseen reason I felt that if you have a tummy tuck you cant have kids, for years and i didnt want the baby spaced out. He asked why I cried being that he wasnt charging me for it, i told him my concerns , he smiled and said sweet heart you only have to wait six months and then get pregnant. Though I thought I would be backwards doing it like this but I went thru with it. Ladies I always had a pooch I had two c sections, so I wasnt aware of the health issues until i started getting rashes under my stomach and thing. I thought that was because of my 100lbs weight loss. So i ended up with a breast lift,BBL, and tummy tuck,lipo to the back and sides for 4,000USD.
While staying here, i met a girl from Louisiana and another girl named Jessika. I met Kathryn , and Dr. Pena the lady in the cafe' and the nurse Mary they all speak English. So remember their names. we got our first massage today being that my mom and I both had to get a blood transfusion. So we had to stay in our room for an extra two days. We are better now. I have noticed that I have constant headache maybe from laying down so much and the constant knocking at the door. So im restless. But when Im sitting up Im fine. Make sure you down load the translator, it worked really god for me when i could get a hold of someone speaking English. Bring lots of wipes, my mom brought two little packs as if that was going to do something now she is using mine and im about to run low smdh, she never listens. and gloves for when you are in the guest house. well im getting tired and my butt starting to hurt,so imma call it a night.

I want to get the Brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck THEN LATER a breast augmentation. I've been looking for doctors and I found that the affordable ones are outside of the USA. Dr. Robles & Yily work looks amazing

I need help please to decide where I can get my sexy back. I'm a mother of 2 (9&5) Current Pics

Should I lose weight before a bbl, tt, & breast augmentation.

If anyone is seriously planning on getting yilified lol around February or March hmu!! I really don't want to go alone and definitely want to save money :-). I'm in North Carolina, 26, 2 kids &&& READY TO GET MY SEXY BACK!!!

Updated on 2 Sep 2013:
Has anyone had a tt, bbl, & ba with implants at the same time? I'm considering having those procedures done at once and would like to know how did recovery go, your results, and any complications if any. Thanks

Updated on 6 Sep 2013:
So I'm stuck between Yily and NOW DR. ROBLES!!!

The thing I like about Dr.Robles is that her price includes the meds, rh, faja, transportation and 12 DAYS!!!! ALSO HER SECRETARIES BE ON POINT WITH TEXTING!!! The only thing is that they will not touch my breast if I get the tt and bbl :-( that sucks but then again I love their concern for health.

DR. Yily will do the BA, tt, & bbl but don't cover transportation, rh, or medication.

What do u ladies suggest????

Updated on 8 Sep 2013:
I've decided to go with Dr.Baez for my bbl, tummy tuck, and breast augmentation with implants. The first response back from her made me feel sooo comfortable. Guess what else!!! Her communication has been on point since then...that's hard to find lol. Not only that but her quote was all inclusive!

so what do u ladies think????
Unless I hear a horror story she will be my doctora :-)

Updated on 6 Oct 2013:
it's never too soon to start taking your supplements. it doesnt matter how much you pay for them they are going to work the same.

also stop taking fish oils 2 weeks before surgery they thin the blood. I don't take the fish oils every day just once in a while.

I take all my vitamins in the morning on an empty stomach with orange juice.

Updated on 19 Oct 2013:
which doctor in DR has good breast lift with implants reviews. it seems like if you find a doctor that can master one procedure there not good with the other...

I'm actually leaning towards Dr. Baez I know her breast work is on point, her bbl are getting bigger, and her waist are getting smaller. I feel by March next year she will be on the top in DR.

How's Dr. Cabral breast work? His tt and bbl ate the

Updated on 19 Oct 2013:
anyway my phone tripping. to finish what I was saying about Cabral his tt and bbl are the [RS bleep]! Lol
