I have been researching as well n have had consultations with doctors I just didn't connect with! We connected the first time I put my deposit n sat a date :) so I'm excited not to mention he's close to my home. I just didn't want to have to fly n not be around help.

July 8, 2014

Yes you definitely need help...we connected as well that's why I did before I changed my mind again. Yes I had a deposit with another dr. But I didn't go cuz I got scared....smh

July 3, 2014

July 3, 2014

Okay girl....go head on :) I can't wait until I get this money saved up. Im not telling folk's in my family because they will just frown upon it . after losing all this weight I look like a mess now girl. If I grab my butt and sit it up it still there but it needs help from the Doctor, I wear bid skirts now that I lost all that butt.so my family wouldn't even probly notice I had anything done, but I know for sure girl I will have a flatter stomach frfr.

July 3, 2014

I hear you!!!! Do what makes you happy n look fabulous :) keep me posted!!

July 3, 2014

I also was thinking doctor Shifrin so I won't have to travel and I'm like 30 min away from him. How much is his consultation fee? And do u have to be a certain weight to do it? Im curious

July 3, 2014

Hey consultation is free if you mention real self :) n depending on your body type you May or May not have weight to loss. I have to lose 20 lbs.

July 3, 2014

Thanks. So the quote they gave you. What does it cover?

July 3, 2014

He said it covers the BBL, lipo of stomach,lower back and flanks also hes adding to my hips. Oh and the garments needed for after care.

July 4, 2014

How about massages? Or do you have to pay to get drained out ?

July 8, 2014

I must inform you that the after care garments wasn't tight enough for me I went and got a waist cincher. I was wearing the one he gave me to work bcuz it's softer but I wear my waist cincher more. It was a bit pricey but worth it.

July 8, 2014

Okay great :)!!! So you think I should buy my own garment just in case?

July 8, 2014

Yes...bcuz I think that the garment plays a role in how you heal as well. Mine wasn't put on tight enough. I think that's why I hve this hard spot on my left side. So that's why I started massaging it and I read that you need compression on it. So I went to get another one bcuz the one I had was now too big. But it helps it's goin dwn slowly though.

July 8, 2014

Thank you for the up date
