Made in Colombia.

Hi dolls. This is a replacement profile for ~rosegold. I've been considering a BBL for quite some time now. I even saved up some money last year but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to dip into my savings. I am now back on track. I was originally planning to go to Dr. Hector Cabral in the Dominican Republic despite his horrible reputation. I even set my date and purchased my plane tickets. Upon further research and a recommendation from a previous patient I was referred to this wonderful doctor in Colombia so I quickly jumped ship and I am glad I did because it seems like Mr. Burns hasn't changed a bit. Besides, Colombian doctors are way more skilled than DR doctors in my opinion. Keywords: In MY opinion. I haven't decided on a surgeon yet because I am trying to weigh my options. I have 4 doctors in mind and all have done phenomenal work and I plan to do consults with all 4 the day after I arrive.

So a little about myself:

I am a 25 years old mother of 2. My oldest child is 7 and my baby is 5. Not only did I lose my perfect Rihanna shape post pregnancy (no, seriously), I went up 4 pants sizes and my perfect perky breasts went up two cup sizes and down 2 inches. Hah. I was a B pre pregnancy and now I'm either a high C or low D (never been professionally bra fitted). I am definitely a tiger who has earned her stripes, literally. I wear them proudly on my hips and belly. Le sigh.

Current stats:

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 160lbs

Unfortunately I cannot tell you measurements because I do not know what they are. I've never been measured. =/ I am presently in a size 9. I am a ruler shape and I carry most of my weight in my pudgy midsection. My frame was fairly small pre-pregnancy (I weighed about 125lbs and I was a size 5 before I had my oldest) so hopefully I will shrink back down to that size post op.

I went to visit my PCP to get the required pre-op lab work done yesterday. Only paid a $15 co-pay (I have Kaiser) and they were giving out free EKGs so I got one as well and had my pre consult with my doctor. She was not too pleased with the idea of me getting plastic surgery because she feels as though I could exercise this excess fat off in my belly. I did not mention that I was going out of the country to get work done because of the fear of having "the talk" or hearing any negativity period. I lied and told her that I was going to Miami. Sigh.

Any way, all my blood work and the EKG test came back fine and my doctor did a brief physical examination and gave me the a-okay to go under the knife. Woot! However, I am a bit worried because it seems like my hemoglobin level has dropped since I started taking an iron supplement. It has went from a 13.4 to a 12.8. Although I am still within the normal range, I wouldn't mind having a higher hemoglobin level especially since I am having multiple procedures done in a day. Funny that my hemoglobin level has seemed to have dropped when I began taking these iron supplements and here's the kicker, I was taking double the amount required. Huh!? I have since tripled on the dosage so hopefully this will bring my level up to at least a 15 when the time comes. I am crossing my fingers.

Ran into a little financial bind. I've been an emotional wreck because my surgery is in 10 days and I need to come up with the rest of this money quick. I don't know what I am going to do. :(
