Summer 2016 - From Apple Shape to Hourglass (Plus Size) - Dominican Republic

Ladies, ladies

My rapid fire quote requests have brought me to a turn in the road.

I have yet to hear back from Yily.
Dr. Duran, whose current next availability is mid-November, will not allow to schedule your surgery as per the Surgery Coordinators email and my followup phone call, if you are currently over the BMI. Since I am over it by almost 2 points, even though I can lose it by the end of 6 months time, I can't book. Which takes Dr. Duran out of the running for me because hand to sky, I will be a new body babe happy and healthy by the close of 2016.

As I researched, I saw the infallible ultimate snatch from none other than King Cabral. Now ladies, I understand there are a lot of strong feelings about his history. I am well aware of the unfortunate cases and have been since the beginning of my looking into this years ago. However aside from the frenetic media hoopla about this doctor's history, I also understand that even here in the states that well respected surgeons with long careers do have to face a mortality rate which, statistically speaking as a career lengthens, is likely to see sad tales.

Not at all rationalizing, and I'm the biggest chicken you'll ever meet. I am just deciding and fully cognizant of the risks.

So that being said, unless something changes between now and then, this is the doctor I will be going to. He is my best chance that will battle my ultimate enemy, an unforgiving wide waist shattering the silhouette of many a dresses, relegating me to the life of a lovely faced box. #applebodytroubles

Now I am not going to be silly. I will take EVERY precaution with my health and I think I am also going to have to find a highly skilled nurse to look after me especially right after surgery. It seems to me that the high volume fluid loss will have me super weak, vulnerable, and unable to do anything about the pain headed my way. I will outline my research about that here
Starting today, the increase in my folates dark green leafy vegetable, iron supplements, top notch nutrition begins here

I think I am also going to get some blood work done now so I know where my heme stands, where I am healthwise in general and have it all reassessed weeks before my surgery

I'm also going to start the passport application today.

No games shall be played here ladies.
None at all.
I'm going alone, no one is going to know
I casually asked my mom if she would come with me (she's a nurse) if I needed her to. She was with me when I had my bariatric surgery years ago and man did I need my mommy. She was terrified I'm sure and I was under for like 6 hours. I didn't know, drugs are great. I went to sleep and woke up to my mom. I was scared and she was there.
Anyway she said no lol But she also side eyed the [RS bleep] out of me. Because she's like that. Reactionary and quick to tell my ass to sit down. But she also knows come hell and high water if I wanna do something, I just show up with my new chapters of life and politely escort everyone to help them get on board or nah.

So she was like "wait why. You having surgery? see you always doing some s___. You already made your plans now you asking me last minute"
She didn't realize I'm in my beginning stages of making this real. I just told her ok and to never mind

I will likely call home from DR after all is said and done because when I get back, I will need help. My parents always come through in the clutch so there is that. I just don't want them to worry so no need to bring attention to the fact that I'm going to do this.
I love them to pieces and my brother too and I can tell you right now none of them will appreciate this little adventure of mine when its all said and done.

But they are supportive family, I couldn't be more lucky. I just need to put, as my mom says, my big girl panties on and get this done.

I'm awaiting my quote. Just called and spoke to someone at Cabral's who said the dates I want are available and the only reason I am not sitting outside my bank right now to send my deposit is because of the technical cockblock that is called a federal holiday. Ok ok, Memorial Day- all love to our soldiers and families.

Thats all for now ladies. I feel so determined that the energy has me up and super sharp. Let me get as much as I can done while riding this productivity high lol

So much happened this past year. I went through so much, accomplished quite a bit and I finally have some time off and I want to take advantage of it.

I'm still plus sized and hating my proportions but with my money in my hand and my schedule opened up, all I know is I am seeing this happen this year. I am aiming for August 2016.

I was recently looking to switch to Dra. Duran but i don't like how difficult it is to get any sort of answer back. Yily, Duran, and Diaz are on my radar and I have two concerns. I want a snatched waist. I want it as snatched as possible. I don't care about having a big booty, just a shapely one. I want this wide waistline that plagued me through the years gone. I also am interested in a breast lift with no implant. I can't stand this big girl sag, it affects my self esteem just seeing a sadder version of my own breast and I never even had children.

It looks like I will be having a tummy tuck too. But which of these doctors are BEST with the incisions? I am a melanated queen and as such, I worry about aggressive keloid scars forming. I will live in silicone tape but I want those cuts as obscure as possible.

Last I checked Yily doesn't have an IG anymore. Diaz IG looks amazing but I don't see any plus sized ladies like that. Duran sounds great but again, I can't get in touch.

This week I am applying for my passport, putting down my deposit, starting any supplements, and working a pristine diet and exercise regimen. No games shall be played. By the time I go see Formation in the fall, I should be stacked like my Queen Bey lol

Here we go girls

I'm a fit of psychosis I told my mom what I was planning to do in Oct.

She told my dad.

My divorced parents have a better relationship than most marriages I've ever seen. So when they tag team, I'm sol

He asked me to hold off until I graduate in Dec. I'm in an intense program and we only had one week off in Oct when I was going to do this.

You guys have to understand. I adore my father like no other. He will ask you so gently and lovingly and lay out his reasons.. He doesn't want me to drop the ball and not get my license. Of course he's right of course I think I can handle it.

But I felt like crying after I agreed. I'm a grown woman but I'm broken inside and I feel the world can see it.
I'm all these things men say they want but once I fix my cosmetic matters suddenly I will be the dream girl?

I resent that so much. I want to look good every day I look at myself and not feel shame about my natural figure.

Someone I was involved with for some time now pulled some sh... recently and all I could think was you wouldn't be doing that if you were worried
He's not my man so I let him.be and he can stay gone. He crossed the line

But it sucks that men act like they can't see you as a person unless u represent what makes them better

And here you have my dad who loves me to pieces with no changes at all. He doesn't even judge me he just wants me to finish and do well


I admit ladies I'm feeling low..grateful for my family but lonely and low. They say weight loss doesn't change everything but please. It changes some things.

Is it silly to want something real to come out of something superficial?

I am going to rededicate myself to getting as fit as possible so when it's time at the end of the year, theres no conflict of interest. I guess I need to find some sisters on here.. I don't want to step into 2016 with this body
.I also bet that scheduling may be a problem. Due to holiday in the DR..maybe someone can fill me in


So sad I have to postpone I could just weep right now.
