Its a Date! Booked With Dr Hughes Nov 7.14. California, CA

I first had appt booked with Dr Cortes but couldnt overlook some of his bad reviews. I had a consult and was not impressed. I was told to gain 30 lbs. Im 5'1" and 115 lbs. I am now 130lbs. This very uncomfortable. I feel like a stuffed sausage. I decided to book with Cortes solely for his "results". Hes got great pics to prove his shaping ability and it helped that It was an easy travel for me. A few days after booking I came across some posts that I couldnt overlook. They were not so great reviews. I still believe he is great at what he does and has made many happy but I just wasnt comfy to begin with..
I then stumbled across Dr hughes. looked at his videos on youtube and new he was the one. The stars have aligned for me. I emailed him. He was lightning fast in his response. I called on Oct 15 and booked for Nov 7th. OOOMMMMGGG!!!!! lightning fast! My head is spinning. I feel so ill prepared.
Please share all tips. I greatly appreciate poster reviews. They are so helpful. Ive learned so much from you ladies and I feel it has helped me come to finding the Dr suited for me. If theres anyone with info on hotels in Culver City, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all

I had my consult today. The office isn't impressive but I expected this. I first checked in. Filled out a few papers. I waited for about 10m then Adam brought me back to the exam room where I waited for Dr Hughes for less than 10m. I initially pre paid for 11,500. This would include BBl, lipo on flanks tummy and upper eyelids. I had all intentions on adding any area possible. I wanted my Arms, chin, buccel fat, inner thighs and inner knees sucked skinny. He said no to the bucccel fat:(
So my new final told came out to be. $15,500.
I felt that his focus was mainly about what I wanted to achieve. He was very thorough. I have been to a consult with Dr Perry in Miami and Dr Cortes in Houston. I was highly impressed by Dr perry but we didn't agree on my wishes. I wanted the upper part of my bottom inhanced but he voiced that he typically doesn't inject in that area. I still think he was top notch even though I didn't book with him. My surgery is at 10:30 tomorrow. To you ladies who have messaged me. I'm sorry I haven't replied. I'm still trying to figure this site out. I'll do my best to share my journey. Right now I'm missing my baby. Shes 2 and a brat but u miss her dearly. My hubs is in the the dbl bed next to me obliviouse to my emotions right now. Guilt is kicking in.. The time, money and brains cells spent on this act of vanity. I'll get over it. Just having a moment. Oh, some things about myself.
5'1"
130lb
I wow to get my sexy back. This isn't me at all. I've gained 20 lbs of misery. Dr Hughes thinks he can get 1000cc in each cheek. This is prob a big booty for my frame but I plan to drop it(fat) like its hot! In my head I think he could re distribute the fat to my ass which would be too much ass but it would give me room shed and tone? I didn't want to start small and them lose it.. I'm accustomed to being fit so I'm ready to hit the gym. I feel like I'm writing in my diary lol. Here's some pics.

Good morning ladies. It's 6:30 am
My surgery is at 10:39am. I slept well. I was instructed to not eat 8 hrs prior to surgery. My last meal was at 8:30 last night. I'm not too hungry this morning. Just ready to get this on. I've got liquid iron, emergen C, bromelain with turmeric, liquid vit C, arnica Montana and fiber tummies. Dr Hughes asked why I was taking these things. My response was "I don't know. I read it on real self" lol. My goal is to get home ASAP. I'm doing whatever possibly to zap myself back to public and travel condition. From everything Ive read on here, seems like this surgery is brutal. Im petrified of being couped up in this hotel room. Me + pain pills = depression. I don't dead pain at all. I fear depression and being helpless. Thought hubs is here, last thing I want is someone wiping my ass. I warned him he may have to and he nearly barfed. It was funny. :)
Im trying to have some mind control and self talks right now.
Oh, forgot to mention that I've been nauseated for the last 4 nights. Every night around 9pm I would get nauseated. I think it was just nerves and realizing that I was actually doing this, leaving my baby and risking my life... The nausea was weird. I'm def not pregnant. Thought I'd share that little bit for anyone that might encounter that. I would say that I'm typically not a worry wart. I fear very little. I really think there's some underlining things I can't put my finger in that was causing the nausea. One last ramble. I still don't feel 1,000% about booking with Hughes. I don't think I will have ever gotten to that point with any Dr. I do feel that I made the best decision if the 3 I considered. I think my age is causing more hesitation. I had my boobs done when I was 25 and didn't have a single doubt or concern. At 39, Im hyper aware. I know this is prob wisdom but dang I miss my ignorance cause life altering decisions sure we're bliss. Ahhhhh
See you real selfies on the other side! I'll be a Hughes hottie by the pm. Feel free to send love sexiness my way.
