Hello RS, I have been doing research on doctors in...
$8,500
Hello RS, I have been doing research on doctors in DR to do my surgery. I have narrowed it down to Dr. Robles and Dr Medina. They both have impecable reviews, Dr Medina's price is about $500 or so more for the same procedure but I REALLY REALLY love her place of surgery and RH (My Home RH). Im torn between two Doctors! Dr Robles has great reviews too, however I see more complaints of after care with her which is very important to me. One Dr uses Cecip and the other Cecilip... ughhhh Im all over the place right now trying to decide so here's where I need your help dolls! Input on both Doctors, should I start taking vitamins now for a Sx date of late March? I appreciate your help.
Here are my specs.... 46 years old, 5'5 200lbs will lose 10 more prior to surgery.

Doctor & Sx date Chosen, Deposit Made ...... Doctor Tania Medina it is!!!!!!!
So after research & more research I feel Dr. Tania Medina is the best Dr for me. Correspondence with her so far has been great! Overall I know I made the best decision. Dr Medina sent my list of items to bring and Pre Op instructions and I made an appointment with my PCP to get blood work done just to check levels, I know its 4 months away but I want an idea of what the levels are so I can be prepared. Oh I didnt say the date! Its March 29, 2016 I will be staying at My Home Recovery House and right now my feelings are all over the place with anxiety, nervousness etc which I know that's expected so It's time to stay PRAYED UP because this is going to be a journey!! Can't wait to see the new me.

How to deal with Nay-sayers who dont support you???????
How do You guys deal with family, friends coworkers etc who dont share your joy or wish to celebrate you journey? Today was such a downer for me, first my co-sx buddy decides she's not going for her own reason & I'm not blaming her at all for that decision. Then a coworker decides to share a bad story about going to DR that has no merit.... I actually told her not to tell another soul that story for fear they may think she's retarded!!!! So now I may have to go alone which im totally ok with because I trust the Dr I chose and her RH facility but it helps to have a lil support. My daughter actually is 100% behind me in my decision but she has 2 young children and needs to be here for them. So I have told everyone that I am not doing Sx and refuse to talk about it to anyone except the few (abt 3ppl) who share my joy and although today is not a happy day, it will pass and better days will come! I will stick to my decision and if I choose not to do Sx it will be for my reasons only. How do/did you gals deal with this situation??????

I look at it like this...I have not yet felt this is the wrong decision, God hasn't given me any doubts or red flags...I'm secure it the decision. As for my loved ones they just hate I'm going out of the states but I tell them bad things happen here as well, what really helps is my sx support group...they are the most insightful ladies I've spoken to about this, if your interested add me on fb Darlena Pegues and I'll add you to the group it's for Dr. Mañon but it's other sx girls on there too

The same people who pass judgement about you going to the DR for surgery don't even do research on the Doctors that care for them daily. I don't allow BS like this in my mind or spirit. Most people feel so comfortable with Docs in the US because the assumption is that US is better. Let me tell you that US Plastic Surgeons have laws that protect them from having to disclose details of their malpractice and botched surgeries but the media plays its role in Scare Tactics and people fall for it. "All Doctors Are Not Created Equal". Do your research on anyone that will be touching your body in the DR and anywhere else for that matter and move along. Don't allow doubt to creep in your mind or other people's negativity to be placed upon you. How I deal with them is ask them what do you know about your Doc's education, where did they go to school, are they certified. Where did they do their residency? If they don't know a damn thing about their own docs they need to stay in their lane. Practice this "Bye [RS bleep]" because there is always somebody who has NO 1st hand knowledge of a damn thing but always...know somebody that know somebody...You have to check people and that goes for this situation and life. AS a woman you MUST live fearlessly. XOXO Hopefully this helps, if not at least you get a good laugh...lol

Hi Suggs! Congratulations on the beginning of an improved you. Deciding to have this surgery was all about me and what would make me feel better. I didn't ask anyone for their opinion, didn't need their input on making the decision and although I've heard all the the negativity from different ones (including my mom whom I love dearly), It still never affected the path I have chosen for MYSELF. I educated myself on the procedures that I'm having done and I educated everyone I chose to share with as well. I also made it clear to everyone that this procedure is something I chose to do and not for anyone else other than myself. I remain happy and in good spirits at all times even when the naysayers come my way. I tell them or ask them to just lift me up in prayer and then I ask my God that if "they" are sending up negative prayers that He rebukes and binds them in His Father's name. So....my dear...remain at peace with your decision. Pray often and ask God for what you want and to make sure you've made the right decision for yourself. Go and get your sexy back! ~ Charlotte, NC
