WORTH IT$3,800
Hello I'm 27 years old with no kids and I'm scheduled with Dr. Duran in April. I'm so excited! I been lurking on Real Self since the end of 2013 and I'm finally ready to it. I'm 5'1, 137 pounds and my current measurements are 34, 29, 39. I'm hoping after surgery for 34, 24, 43 but we shall see. I obtained my quote through Jazmine at Bella Vita consultants who is extremely sweet, if you can swing the extra $200 she would be your best option. I paid her on a Friday and she had my quote ready by that Sunday. She has did my wire transfer which was $250 (Duran's Deposit) and $45 for the wire transfer. I'm considering booking with Real Recovery Armonia because the reviews have been good so far and it's pretty affordable with a bunch of good amenities included. The deposit for that RH is $100. I'm still in search of a travel buddy. I'm leaving for ATL on 4/7/2015 and returning 4/16/2015. I've already purchased most of all my supplies which I post those later. Here are a few wish pics that I'm hoping Duran can help me achieve.

hi there future Doll I am hoping to be a Duran Doll as well either end of March or early April I have yet to talk with her and I don't have the funds right now to get with Jazmine probably until next month or early February that might be cutting it close. I'm 44 5'6 180 but I so badly want to do the bbl and tt. what was your quote and what are you getting if I can ever get up with Duran for my quote without having to go through Jazmine I may can possibly be your Buddy. I'm in NC so if i fly out of my hometown of Fayetteville I'm sure my layover will be in ATL. I'm going to email her again to do hopefully with some luck I emailed her Dec 8 I don't want to keep sweating her but I know she can give me what I desire.

Sharp Chest Pains Plus Surgery List

User Avatar
MissBigBuns
So I've already started collecting supplies for my trip with only a few things left to buy. I've gone though a few supply list on here, did some extra research on a bunch of products and put together a list that I think would work for me. Which is as follows:

***Arnica Cream/Tablets
***Ensure
***Bottled Water
***Chux
***Lipo Foam
***Tummy Board
***ScarAway
***Maxi Pads
Bromelain
Hibiclens
Water Pills
SSStonic (liquid Iron)
Stool Softner
Vitamin C
B12
Folic Acid
Iron Supplements
Pain Meds (OTC)
Gloves
Antibacterial Soap
PEz
Alcohol Pads
Q-Tips
Disinfectant Spray/Wipes
Baby Wipes
5 Maxi Dresses ($9 on EBay)
***Bobby Pillow
Passport
Pack of Underwear
5 tank tops
Pajamas
Robe
Slippers
Flip Flops
Travel blanket
Toiletries

**THINGS I STILL HAVE TO GET
I started taking the iron supplements as prescribed on the bottle which are 65mg (equivalent to 325mg Ferrous sulfate) about 2 weeks and I noticed after only taking them for maybe 2 days I developed these really strong sharp shooting pains in my left breast and I started panicking! I googled it and breast cancer popped up on the screen and I really got nervous but I kept reading. I then remembered I started taking the iron supplements and the pain didn't start until after I started taking them. So I read the side effects of iron and chest pains was one of them. I stopped taking them for 2 days and the pain stopped. So I read that vitamin c would help absorb the iron so I combined a vitamin c supplement and so far no chest pains. I don't know if one 65mg of iron by itself is to much for my body but I didn't respond well to it. I see a lot of women on here double and sometimes triple their iron dose but unfortunately I'm afraid to after that. I'm scheduling a physical in January with my PCP and get some lab work done so I can know my HEMO levels and all that other good stuff. Has anybody else experience chest pains after taking iron supplements?

What is Faja Stage 2?
User Avatar
December 28, 2014
It's your second compression garment. U get one right after surgery and then in a week or 2 when that one gets to small u need a stage 2 compression garment or faja
December 28, 2014
Thank you. I remember getting a garment for my liposuction years ago, but it never had to be changed. It could be that I had the smallest one they made to begin with.
User Avatar
December 28, 2014
That could have been it. And I meant to say went the first faja gets to big they give u a smaller one to help with compression. Sorry for the typo
December 28, 2014
It makes total sense. The garment is like wearing a girdle 24/7.
December 28, 2014
I will be following you for updates! We are about the same weight (Im 135lbs), size, and proportion & i've been considering this for a while now (I'm about an inch shorter than you haha). Please don't leave us hanging after you get your surgery. My best wishes to you! -Ciao*
