I paid a little under 10, 000. But since I live in California I had to get plane tickets. Hotel. Food. Taxis. So came out to probably around 20, 000... def worth it tho ;)

Have you had any massages?
March 27, 2013
No I haven't Cuz the hard stuff feeling has went away. Plus I'm in California so I'm not by the office
March 27, 2013
Thanks for your response! I hope I am able to go without too. It would be nice to not have that expense in addition to everything else.
March 27, 2013
they told me i can do it myself..so I'm sure you will be able to as well
March 27, 2013
That would be nice if I could as well. You looked perfect before. Your body is jaw dropping. :)))
March 27, 2013
thanks girl:-)...people said i was taking the easy way out with lipo n bbl...but that couldn't be farther from the truth ...going through surgery is not easy...theres just somethings that you can't achieve strictly through working out... I'm sure you will look great... just keep working out them legs girl... get them nice and thick :)
March 27, 2013
Wow you look great!!!

Ms. Storm
So I had my surgery Tuesday this last week. And for me there really wasnt alot of pain. Just discomfort. The day after sugery I was walking around . Making my food. Draining my drains. Basically doing everything normally with in Reason. Dr mendieta is very nice and makes you really feel comfortable and welcomed . He knows his stuff but doesn't not come of as cocky at all. . I'm very happy I chose him. From what I can see now he did such a great job with my body. Looks so great really sculpt my mid section that's why I chose him . The butt is very beautiful to even on both sides. Looks nice and plump. Looks like this could be my natural shape. Like I was just really really blessed lol. I get to take stains out Tuesday. So I can't wait for that... we post pics when drains are out

March 27, 2013
i posted some pics... and I'm feeling great... you are in good hands:-)
March 27, 2013
Wow!!!!! You are stunning!!!! Happy to hear you are feeling great!!! I really appreciate you posting pics. Thanks! I hope I recover as well as you did. :)
March 27, 2013
im a real health freak...and i don't drink or smoke...i work out 5-6 times a week... so my recovery was very smooth...im sure you will be fine...just take really good care of yourself between now and then and you will be great! thanks :-)
March 27, 2013
I agree that leading a healthy lifestyle will definitely speed up the recovery process. I too do not smoke or drink. I haven't exercised though in months as I've been trying to gain weight (which I've succeeded at) prior to scheduling my surgery I did Pilates and cardio often....I am dying to get back to these things as I feel horrible. I just want to get this over with already.....9 more weeks!!! Thanks for your time.
March 27, 2013
I hella feel you because I felt exactly the same like you. I also had to gain weight but I worked out up until I flew out for my surgery. I just decreased my cardio. Did Heavier weights for legs since I didn't want to have skinny legs with a big butt . And ate Healthy still but just ate more. And I ate also. To gain muscle mass. Thats why u can see the muscle in my stomach and legs are strong. Plus I think u need to be physical strong to recover well to. Just my opinion :)
March 28, 2013
I really appreciate the advice! It makes great sense. I haven't been exercising at all and eating a lot of carbs which I know isn't a good idea (just wanting to pack on the pounds) ...I feel so fatigued after eating a ton of carbs. I am going to start back lifting weights to strengthen my muscles and eat healthier just larger portion sizes to keep the weight on. I'm following your recommendations in hopes of having a smooth and speedy recovery as you did. I'm mentally prepared for the worst though.....I believe.
March 28, 2013
yeah just stay eating healthy bigger portions...i allowed myself to cheat and eat bad things to...i just maintain my healthy lifestyle and including eating bad things to...not to much though...try not to have any negative thoughts...i know its hard but you need to be mentally prepared or else you will freak yourself out...everything is going to be great if you take care of yourself and follow directions before and after surgery... i was walking around and doing everything for myself right after i got out of surgery...lol i wasn't really suppose to but i was paranoid about getting dvt...lol plus i really had no pain..its more of a discomfort than anything else. also when i woke up from surgery my butt just felt like i did a million squats...but not painful... i boxed for a few years so i have a very high pain tolerance...much doesn't hurt me...u will be great...you are in great hands i promise...u can see my results r great..and so will yours
