I made it girls. Can't see what I look like. Also I'm afraid to look because I'm in pain.
Wasn't able to get my BBL. when I left the states my HEMO was 12.6 got here and it dropped 11.7. Oh well disappointed as I was it was never about the BBL anyways it was for the TT and Lipo. I will post more pics as they come promise

Is Dr. medina really that strict with the hemo level? I'm worried bec I am scheduled for surgery on 8/16 and right now my hemo is 12.9. I'm afraid that it will go down by the time I get there. Did she say what is the lowest hemo she will consider to do lipo/TT/bbl?

Girl yes she came to me first thing in the morning Saying "ok we have a problem" lol I was so mad. She said safety first. She was not playing. But she did to my thighs to cheer me up. She's super duper sweet her whole staff is. But yes your HEMO needs to be above 12 to get it

So if I'm on 12 she will only do lipo? I really want to have everything done bec this might just be a one shot deal for me. I want lipo/TT and bbl done at the same time. Now I'm really worried. I will get another blood test on Wednesday and hopefully it's above 13. You are looking good. You must be happy with your results. Can't wait for mine.

If your at 12 your good to go with all 3. But if u drop under 12 then only the TT and lip of your flanks. She lipoed my bra line as well. But no back lipo and no BBL. I'm going to have to make this work for me because I'm not coming back here. This is a very hard process that I'm not putting myself through again. And this recovery is not easy. I've made peace with it. But when I'm at her office for my post op check ups I see all the girls with there BBL's it makes me really sad but like I said I will get over it lol. She said "oh u can just come back and get it done then I can do your boobs as well"

Fresh 2oz Wheatgrass shots brought mines from 8 to 14.1

oh wow!! u did good.. I was taking all my vitamins like a good girl. even doubled up. it really did get me out of the red zone (anemia) but I needed it to be higher because I knew the plane ride would make it drop.

im not sure what the right answer is. there are a lot of girls on there with antidotes that worked for them. I just doubled up on my iron and it got it up. but not enough to beat the plan ride.

Thank you. It's good to hear that I'm not the only one feeling this way. I haven't bathed yet ugh. My wound is healing but not closed yet. Question... When did you start standing up straight? I'm 3 weeks post but my stomach is still so tight I can't stand straight and I'm still pretty much bent. It's killing my back
