I need this. I have 1 child, and I have been hidden behind my clothes for years. Everything I wear just doesn't look right, seem right, and feel right and I am not at all happy. I need to do this for me. I haven't dated in 3 years (after my divorce) and I have to say it is 100% because I am not happy with myself. All of that will change in march. I am interested in Dr. Duran in the DR. I have seen so many wonderful before and after pictures and reviews that I am 100% confident in her doing my surgery. the problem is, I want a BBL with lipo suction of the entire abdomen, flanks, back, and inner thighs, I think she may need to do a tummy tuck ( I don't really want a tummy tuck) because of my loose and stretch marks, but the down time for that is much longer than just the BBL with lipo. I will be heading wqon the 18th, hopefully I can have any pre-op testing then, and my procedure the day after. I wish I had a travel buddy, it would definitely make this process more manageable. I requested more info via this website from Dr. Duran, but received an email back from a "SurgiCoordinator Dr. DurĂ¡n" who will handle all the pertinents including securing a quote and communicating with Dr. Duran for a fee of $200. Is there a way for me to go directly through Dr. Duran, or is this how she communicates with prospective clients, and it is in fact legit and I can trust surgicoordinator.

I believe that the surgicoordinator is legit. The doctors don't have time to speak with all of us. That is likely the protocol. I believe if you work out a little before your surgery lipo would do just fine. I'm scheduled for April in Miami and I am preparing. I want to tone up some prior to so I will have muscle tone every where. I hope you get everything you want. I will be following ur journey.

thank you so much. I think that's a great idea to tone up as much before surgery, because we will not be able to tone up for a while thereafter. I will be following your journey as well.

I GOT MY QUOTE!!!! yippee

Ok, so I literally just emailed the coordinator yesterday, and by the end of the day I got a quote!!. 4800.00 + 200 for the coordinator's fee. ok, Dr. Duran suggested a TT, BBL, and Liposculpturing. I really really did not want a TT because of the obvious, it's a larger surgery, but also because of the scar, and the down time, and the pure fact that I am nervous as heck to have a TT :-( I can see why she would suggest it, as you can see from my front pic, I have sagging skin and stretch marks. Liposuction alone may eventually make my sagging skin MORE pronounced because of the fat removal. I thought about the decision, oh for about 2 seconds! and decided to do the TT. I figured if I am going to go under anesthesia, and deal with this pain and anguish, I will do it only ONCE and I will NOT be leaving that OR table with a flat stomach and sagging skin! oh no hunny. Dr. Duran can take the FAT and the SKIN, I don't mind.
I am in the process of securing my surgery date which will be the 3rd week in march.

My agenda:
secure my surgery date
send deposit
find RH
book flight
start shopping for supplies
get a full blood work panel to see where I am with my levels
begin a vitamin/iron regiment
start exercising for cardio health walking)

Hey Hun, I am exhausted trying to get a hold of Duran. I just want a quote! lol. I know other doctors in DR will give a quote with and with out a Recovery House. The quote she gave you of 4800, does it include a recovery house? Thanks

My suggestion is go to the dr first and get your levels, so you know exactly what vitamins you need. Also, I am going the same time, if you want a cool down to earth buddy message me so we can link. I am booked for all the same procedures on the 17th leaving on the 15th.

Hey LisaLee81! My date is 3/21 with Yily. I'm leaving ATL and arriving DR 3/20. Sasha put me in Diamond Recovery but I don't want to stay there. I don't like the way it looks on the outside. She said Serenity and Luxury Rh are booked that week. Did you find one yet?

ok, so I just heard back from surgico, I received the deposit information; how much, where to send it, and who to send it to. laura, through surgico is having me send it through xoom.com which is a paypal company. laura stated in the email the deposit will cover her fee plus Dr. Duran's deposit amount. once payment is received, my date will be confirmed and how I am to arrive 2 days prio. I am very anxious to book my flights because the closer you get to your departure date, the more expensive the flights will be. next agenda: Secure surgery date after I send the deposit today!
