Well.well,well!! here I go.
As many,Ive been lurking this site forever and a day now and Im am just now deciding that I will write a review to help others(Hopefully) and allow other to follow my journey. I am scheduled to see Duran on July 30th. I went trough Bellavita because I heard awesome reviews on of them. Unfortunately I didnt have the same awesome experience that lots of other spoke about. In fact. . . I feel it was a waste of $200. Those girls are very very nice, and I am not bashing them. . dnt get me wrong; I like Jazmine the most. But they didnt provide the service (To me) that they advertise. Most of that was said to be bcaz Jasmine is in Colombia having her own surgery.But oh well, Whats done is done now.

I am a mother of two, curently 218lbs,standing at 5'6". I have to loose more weight. Ive lost some already but my BMI is still not what it needs to be in order for Duran to operate. I need to be at a 34. I really dnt want the BBL bczs I have a big ass already. . just would like to have it shaped up a little. But was told that taking off the BBL does not change the price. . dnt really get that one but what do you do? I was quoted for 4900. I still haven't picked a recovery house yet (Which was suppose to be apart of Bellavita's service) but anyhoo. Ill do it on my own. I just want to get my surgery and get it over with.

Im undecided on which recovery house I wish to go with. After reading many reviews, Im torn between Tropical Deluxe Recovery and Silhouettes Recovery. Any suggestion of the two?? I started my journey of actually trying to get a surgery date Jan of this year. Then I was told/suggested that my fobroids had gotten larger and I needed to have those removed Before doing the TT. I had fibroid s removed (Myomectomy) on March 9th 2015. So that's what took me all the way out this far for actually having the surgery done bcaz I was told that I needed to wait 3mo post surgery before having another. I actually wanted a June date; that leaving me at 3 mo post Myomectomy but bcaz of such delayed communication with Bellavita and the time lapse and the back and forth-mess. . . I got stuck with a July 30th date :(

My recovery for the Myomectomy was really great. I didnt need pain meds at all after release form the hospital. I stayed in Hospital 4day(day longer than was suppose to) bcaz I had lot of blood loss. According to my surgeon the tourniquet slipped off the bottom of my uterus while operating. I went back to work 5weeks after. He actually release me 4weks after but I requested another week out of sheer laziness. Hehe! But i am doing well. . have been since about 2 1/2 weeks post.

So, Now I am looking to get the procedure of my life done now. been waiting for this a long long time coming. And am overly excited to finally be getting here. My first child (Son) was 10lbs 3.4oz-22in long, and he tore my stomach muscle from my abdominal wall (Diastasis rectus). I was younger and of course didnt know then what I know now about the body,muscles and tissues. . . so was just thinking that I could exercise,do crunches,Ab bands, etc etc and it will go away. Well my son is grown and I still have this muscle loss. it needs to be repaired (of course). and of course years of over eating and not exercise as well.. dnt let me forget that. Because my children certainly DID NOT do all of this. I am mainly responsible for my over weight issue. I just contribute my separation of my abdominal wall on child birth. So, this si the reason for my years on top of years of wanting to have a TT. Because no matter what I do. .Ill never have that nice flat belly AGAIN unless I have a TT.

I am blessed for this site and the girls/vets that have came, conquered, and gone. Cant wait til its my time to do the same. :) Bcaz I have already had a major surgery (removing 33 fibroids from my uterus),Im not to worried or concerned OVERLY with having the sx. The only things that comes to mind is 1) Being out of the states having sx. 2) The itching that I have read is associated with sx after(And I dnt know why the long lasting,intense itching caz I didnt experience any after my surgery here). But that's really it. I am a quick healer, and my pain level (Ive learned) is remarkable. Im blessed for that. (Thank you Father God.)

I dnt have any health issues. My surgeon did tell me while going thru all my pre blood work up and all that stuff that I was pre-diabetic and if I didnt get my weight/eating under control. . That i would eventually become one. :( Soooooooo. . . I have been doing better. As Ive said previously. . Ive lost some weight already. I am such a sweet tooth. My goodness I am bad for that. I just love sweet stuff. But I have cut that down to almost less than half. Actually I am barely having cheat days with sweets. . lOl! Im getting their ladies. Dnt condemn me . Plzz i beg yuh!

But other than that. . my doc stated that I am really healthy. Im blessed for that. Well am not goign to bore you all much longer. . just wanted to introduce myself and say hello (Finally) after stalking this site foreverrrrrrrr! Lol!! I welcome any suggestions,questions,concerns, and input.

Im not bold enough to put my before's up yet, so bare with me. Smh! Im a hot mess. . trustt me!!! Its soo embarrassing. But if you all promise to be gentle and patient . .I will! Rotflmao!!!
Dont really have to many wish pic. I just wish to look better than I do now!! Honestly. I will out up a feww that caught my eye.

Last BUT not least: I send prayer to ALL the traveling Dolls; the ones that's there now, the ones that are yet to go, and the ones that are still in that recovery process (not yet out the woods). His (God) speed in your recovery, his blessings that you return home, and protection while you are there ( In another country). Blessings,blessings,blessings to us all. God knows our hearts, how we feel ,and why we are doing/done what we do!

It's ridiculous that you are still paying full price minus the bbl. I'm having BBL, TT and lipo and I was quoted at $4800. You should try calling Elizabeth, Dr. Durans assistant. She is hard to reach and I don't care for her attitude but you need to get to the bottom of this. They say e-mailing Dr. Duran on Sunday is the best way to get in contact with her. Use google translate and let her know you have your deposit $$ ready. Also send current pics. The weight might be an issue so I don't know how you want to handle that. Since it's for quote purposes maybe you can stretch the truth a little. But you should't be paying for a procedure you aren't having.
