Hello New Booty & Hips!!! Omg I had to come back and READ my “journal” I hope all is well with those of you all following my updates. I began in 2011 OMG “TUMMY TUCK EVE” well a pointless trip to Florida, a stated business, college graduate, & a pandemic later, I’m glad to share I made it to the BBL side!!
Well where do I begin?!? I’m a #Goalsdoll YUP May 18,22 I had Flexsculp & bbl AWAKE!!! Obviously not opting for general Anesthesia because it’s much less expensive. Goals seems to be the only surgical option in the NY/NJ area that offers it.
This pursuit actually began in 2020, I got over going to another or country and consulted with Goals in Harlem after I returned from my failed trip to Florida they were a mess an 18yr old died, I had to go through my bank to receive my deposit back & I just glad I didn’t go through with it. I’m also glad I didn’t go through with the Goals Harlem office too. I’m just gonna be real & state the obvious the “ non medical professional” consultants are a mess at Goals it’s obvious they earn a commission with every patient they book that actually goes through with the surgery. Well some are just LIARS & SCAMMERS as I said I had my 2nd consultation in the Harlem office and the consultant was rude, pushy and just trying to NOT give me the BBL I desired she was trying to push a $1,500 post op package, told me the “sale” I came in for did NOT include hips!! Now who wants a big ass with no hips?!? Especially my body type I NEEDED HIPS more than ass actually.
I’m not gonna waste time on her ass I hope she got fired. Fast forward to now what 2yrs. Later? Yeah they opened up NJ locations. My & my hubby not only are BLESSED to see our lil Dude graduate college, we actually renewed our vows for our 25th last year on a 30 acre estate in July 21!! I would have definitely had my surgery for then but that was more important I did the catering (my new business est.2018) & the decorations!!
Now post pandemic 2022 I’m like I’m getting my booty & hips!! Thankfully everything worked out!!
I initially got one of those lying consultants who up charged me,trying to rush my contract and when I asked questions ignored my inquiries, final straw is that I insisted on a Plastic surgeon with PROOF!! Like I wanted to be able to not only find him, and his social medical presence,I needed my contract to state his NAME!! The chic sent me my contact and guess I wouldn’t notice that she put in some “ dr.” I couldn’t even GOOGLE!!
That’s when it was my turn to ignore her!! I simply inquired via their website from my other email address and used my married name. I have insurance under my maiden name, therefore I got my labs done with my Doc & my new consultant was actually based out of the Goals Atlanta office maybe that’s why she wasn’t a lying, rude scammer type like the NY consultants. With her I signed my contract in 24hrs and was on the table in a month.
My dr. In Dr. Driscoll aka Dr. LA well I guess Dr. NJ now cause I was so happy to be able to view his social media back alll the way to 2017!
I’m going to update my actual surgery and post op. in my next post as well as the bbl chair I made cause all this stomach sleeping at it!
I recall Dr. LA. talking to me during surgery I took that blue pill and of course such an early exciting day I was OUT!! However he had me feeling the Lipo a lil bit in my lower back cause he definitely gave me that arch, then I hear him say “ Would you like MORE BUTT or MORE HIPS??” LOL I really was hip deficient so I mumbled “ Hips” lol I woke up to them handing me off to my hubby Laughing cause I was so drugged up!
He threw me in our backseat “bed” and on to recovery I am!!

Next post will be my massages, & supplies but I’m Happy and already thinking rd. 3 for my inner thighs arms and touch up my tummy lipo…..

Dr. Driscoll did my surgery at Goals NJ location so I didn’t see him until 1/2 hr. before LoL HOWEVER He’s cool, I was drugged up, again lol I do wish they spared a blanket although my surgery was under local anesthesia, it’s still conducted in an operating room & it was COOOOOLD!! Here I am BUTT Naked they instructed me to lay on my stomach (Full back Flexsculpt & BBL) Dr. Driscoll comes in & begins the magic, I do recall him asking if I wanted “ more hips or ass” I opted for hips because I NEEDED THEM, plus I already had a lil something back there. Anyway quick & simple GOALS is NOT about the “ bedside manner” type service, you’re another ass inquiry until your check or financing clears then still they’re a “BBL CLINIC” unlike my Tummy Tuck Dr. Bond saw me a few times before she conducted my surgery, then saw me off once I left the hospital the next day!! Dr. Driscoll finished my BBL and I do recall him giving me a lil run down of how it went then I was done!! The nurse passed my drugged up curvier self off to my hubby & I’m sure Doc went off to shape the next batch of Goals Dolls that day!! That’s it I’m enhanced lol!! Read how I finally arrived on the bbl side in the next paragraph…….. (May 2022 THIS WHOLE SHIT DIDN’T WORK OUT AT ALL !!! I FLEW BACK HOME STRAIGHT OUT THE WAITING ROOM!! READ AT YOUR LEASURE & READ MY ACTUAL BBL UPDATE:) I'm just too nervous to go to DR for surgery. Therefore the Doc. That qualifies best for me with the proper Credentials,RS Reviews, After pics,Social media and office professionalism is Dr. McAdoo....OMG I'M BOUT TO UNDERGO BBL SURGERY :~) DR.McAdoo March 13!!!!!! I'm staying at Joyful RH 13~18 so far so good the owner Joy has been a "joy" to work with. The accommodations(pics)

Case Close...Well for now

I never thought it would be me having a negative experience trying to achieve my cosmetic surgery goals. Fact that I set aside my funds was organized,investigated and I felt did my research wasn't it just was not destined for me at the time.

Now that I paid,traveled,reserved,consulted etc.etc. I am honestly no longer prioritising surgery as I have planned to be done and recuperated by now. So now I am on to the next thing that I have planned. Especially now because it is summer already and I really don't have time to be laid up in the house bandaged up of course I still am seeking my surgery ironically enough my suitcase filled with supplies,and an expensive bbl pillow is still in the corner packed (I need to unpack it) but now having to consult and find new doctor and especially now after my experience with Shady Seductions my search for a board certified doctor is going to take time.....Again,all I know is now I am wiser and more prepared when I do find the right Doc. Hopefully my results and my experience will be positive this time.Ladied please make sure that you Do Not Pay anybody in cash,pay through your bank if possible so you can dispute charges with your bank or credit card company,because Shady Seductions actually gave me a receipt saying that my surgery "deposit" was a "consultation" fee when we all know Seductions and all those other little clinics in Miami offer free consultations so again thank God for my credit card company and my bank because as they put it deposit returned Case Closed!!

The JoyFul/ Forgetful Recovery house

User Avatar

Uuugg where to begin?!? The reason I chose not to go to the Dominican Republic is because I did not want all of the back-and-forth chasing emailing downloading WhatsApp's calling at certain hours annoying irritating?, drama to get surgery. Well if you read my "Journey " you will KNOW that even going to Miami DID NOT work out for me so rightfully I never even steped foot in the recovery house that I chose to book. with all of the raides etc. going on it seems like the joyful recovery house was avoiding that issue however upon not getting my surgery at seductions I immediately called Joy and told her I will not be coming for my stay and she immediately volunteered to give me back all of my deposit because she knows "Seductions" is so unorganized but I told her No you keep a lil something for your reserving my space, so we agreed upon an amount for her to submit into my bank account when we realized early on that we have the same bank .But even from the start it was very obvious how forgetful and maybe, even I dare to say how Unorganize she maybe herself because even when we agreed-upon stuff I am the one reaching back out to her to remind her oh I didn't get that email, oh you said you would send me that link etc. etc..From her it was always like oh I didn't know, oh I forgot,oh I'm busy, etc. etc. I'm just glad I avoided what seems to be the same stuff I didn't want to go to DR for. Especially while recouping from surgery.... The problem with "Joy" /The JoyfullRecovery house is that she tries to use all these apps to receive and send money on top of her being Forgetful, n seems even over the phone and via Text Overwhelmed because her excuse is always basically if you're Not In her face she Forgets,,,, Needless to say there was problems with her getting my deposit (using apps) and now there's problems with me getting my partial refund(Deposit in my Bank account BUT She didn't go to the Bank that we share again she's Trying to use an app) it's been exactly one month two months if you count both be booking and canceling SMH... Done.

Girl call your bank and dispute the amount yaw agreed upon. That will cause u not to stress and remind her when she get that reminder from her bank she is getting disputed. Either way its a win for you.

hunny, i had my surgery ... i went to a recovery house. it can be an awesome place after surgery if they do what they were hired to do. joyful recovery house i called her and she was so unorganized/disfunctional that she gave me her mom number by mistake... i was luck i was at a good recovery house. and i only stayed 4 night 5 days. also "dolls recovery house" nightmare... there were girls there that they didn't pick up from the airport, after surgery and post -op appointments... some of them are so shady is disgusting
