I wasn't able to lose enough weight to qualify for surgery. My BMI is currently 36.5% and Robles will not operate until it's 35 or below.

Luckily I was talking to a recent Robles doll who told me she's not flexible when it comes to BMI and when she was there a few weeks ago she saw Robles send girls home. On Thursday I contacted Robles assistant and they said they would not proceed until I'm below 35. I got the message when I was at work, I cried! I worked so hard to lose weight, I was packed and mentally ready for this journey.

However I understand safety is first and I was praying all week that if this isn't for me at this time please don't allow me to get on the plane. I believe in signs so I truly believe this news is for the best even though I was extremely disappointed. I felt like I failed.

I'm going to reschedule not sure when. I'm 7lbs away from being at a BMI of 35%. I don't want to rush and try and go next month and still not meet my goal weight.

I'm going to aim for end of March if not Sept I can't get time off between April and July and I don't want to be in a faja during the summer months.

....at least I've experienced Robles is about safety bc DR doctors get a bad rep on several IG pages of being rouge doctors but after this I'm convinced she's not just in it for the $.

Hello Ladies Happy Saturday
Next week this time I will be in route to DR. In December my emotions were on a roller coaster after I discovered an IG page that was posting a lot of recent deaths in DR. I wanted to cancel my sx after reading it especially because Dra Robles was named a few times! However I've been praying about it and I have faith I will survive and be here to post my fantastic post op pics! I've been in frequent contact with recent Robles Dolls and that has brought much comfort to me!

My BBL pillow arrived! I heard this is essential for the plane ride back.

I need to book my wheel chair service for return flight but otherwise I'm almost ready I will pack this weekend.

Stay tuned!

Surgery Delayed

Hey All

After much consideration I've decided to move my surgery to the end of January. I really needed to lose 25lbs before the sx to get my BMI down. I lost 10 but I'm still far from goal weight and I wanted the surgery to be the finale to my weight loss Journey. I don't want to have a small waist and chubby face and legs!

I actually feel relieved after I changed the date bc it was so much pressure on myself to drop 15lbs with only two weeks left. I'm still very much excited about my TT/BBL my weight needs to come down. I went to the dr today my blood work came back favorable with the exception of sugar she said my level was a little high but if I drop weight it will naturally come down. I've never had high sugar so it was an eye opener of how important it is to take care of my body.

I never thought I would weigh this much. I just haven't been able to bounce back post pregnancy.


I'm dedicated to getting down to 170 for my sx in January!!!

Stay tuned.
