hello everyone i am checking in, lol.
i feel 90% normal!! i still have some tighness and swelling in places but i am looking great. i will post recent pics soon. i am very attached to my faja after hating it so much. i have been out socially without it and everything was fine, no bloating but i felt weird. i felt like my gut was going to pop out over my jeans lol but i dont have one anymore :). i must admit that i have worn a crop top and low jeans...and it was awesome.

Did the doctor give you any compression sleeves for your arms? Did you a 2nd pair?
September 26, 2013
Yes Duran gave me the compression sleeves. It was included with my procedure. It was given to me along with my faja. I haven't gotten the 2nd smaller one yet...I'm looking into getting a faja with the sleeves next.

I love it doll, I wanted my arms done as well with bbl, tt and lipo but Dr HECTOR CABRAL said that I have to come back because it's not safe to do all at once but I see u did it. I'm going to call monday and ask maria because he emailed me and said that.

ALMOST 7 WEEKS A DURAN DOLL :)

Golda Flaca
hi all, everday "everything" gets better lol. i still get amazed when i see myself and it is only the beginning!!! i still have some swelling in areas and my tummy is kinda tight still but it's all good. my arms are wiggle jiggle free!!! and they look awesome. the scar is getting white and it is flat this is a big plus for me. the scar on my tummy is neat and super thin, its even invisble in parts. i am very impressed with my healing and scarring yay! i do have so moments where i have like a "weird feeling" its like a dream like feeling (like when you wake up and you feel out of place...). i just shake of that feeling quick and look in the mirror :). i am so greatful (to god above all) for everyone who has helped me, especially the help i had at dominga's. i am also greatful that i am having a good experience before, during, and after my procedures, i think this is even more important than my results. the biggest advice i have for upcomming dolls will be please be safe! please check your self out (visit a doctor, be upto date with your health) before going to get any procedure done. make sure your healthy and can get a surgery done and if you cannot pleaseeeeee do not even think twice about trying to.

August 18, 2013
Thanks newimproved!! I am very happy with my healing and durans work, she's good at what she does
August 20, 2013
Wow You look GreaT!!! thanks for the pics. I was wondering if you were still 209lbs on the actual day of your surgery?
September 16, 2013
thanks caution! i was still the 209 at the surg date but all my labs were great. i have gotten checked in ny before i setup my trip to make sure i was good for any procedure. everybodies bmi and body is different and the surgeons are very strict on no doing a procedure on someone whos labs or weigt can place them at risk.

Wow you look great! I'm so happy to read that you stayed with Dominga. I'm headed to her place on the 13th. Do you have any recommendation on supplies to bring? And pain meds to bring?
September 16, 2013
thanks lina and good luck! you made a good choice in staying with Dominga! i only brought plain old tylenol for pain. i never used any pain meds and did not want to have a bad reaction far from home. duran would have given me a script for pain meds if i needed (but it was D.R. pain meds and i heard it is not as potent as US meds). i used a lot of chux (also called blue pads, puppy trainning pads). i put these on my bed and during my massages. i also used the over night maxi pads, triple antibiotic cream and a lot of always wipes and baby wipes. i thinks it would be a good idea to bring a small box of gloves...just in case. i was surprised that i really didnt need a lot of things other than what i would need for a vacay. sun dresses will be your best bet wardrobe wise, they are so easy to slip in and out of.
