Surgery with Duran May 20th Dominican Republic, DO

Team Yily RS 1

Hello Ladies,

For the past few years I have slowly seen my body transform. And unfortunately this has been a transformation that has displeased me for quite some time. I have tried dieting, excercising, and worst giving up and "accepting who I really am." I used to be very petite so it was quite a shock to everyone when the weight started creeping up on me. Four years ago I was 5'1 and at 110 pounds. I am now 5'1 and 140 pounds. OUCH! I haven't heard the end of it since I gained weight. "TU ESTAS MUY GORDAAA" or "TE VA DAÑAAA" UGH! I'm sure many of you could relate when I say this, I WANT A NEW ME. I want CHANGE. I want to want to shop. I want to look good. I want to do something that makes me happy.

I have been obsessing over posts on mmh and realself, and wish pics, procedures, before and after pictures, pros and cons, plastic surgeons, US or DR. I have decided to go with Dra. Yily De Los Santos. Her body sculpting and BBL's are truly amazing. I have tried my best to gather all the resources that one would need before and after surgery. My posts may be very long but I am just trying to be as informative as possible. I've gathered most of my information from ladies on realself.com or mmh.com or google. I disliked the fact that you couldn't get all the information you needed from one place when researching so I am going to try to the best of my ability to answer all of your questions and to cover all aspects of my journey. For the next few months I will be sharing my information with you and bonding with many of you. I would like you all to show your love, ask your questions, follow my journey, and pour your blessings over me. Thank you in advance for your support ladies :)

I have already sent her my before and wish pics and I'm still awaiting her response.

I'm 21 years old with no previous surgeries or children. I'm 5'1 and I currently weigh 141. I am still waiting for my body measuring tape to get here from amazon, so I don't have my measurements just yet. I am looking to get liposuction to my arms, full abdomen, full back, and fat grafting to my glutes. I am considering liposuction to my thighs but I might just do the back of my thighs. Not sure yet. I would like to hear what Yily recommends. I already have a butt, I kind of just want to fill it in and add hips and have an hour glass figure....ahh don't we all lol. I've added my wish pics and all of them are of a model/vixen called Curvy J. Love love love her figure. At first it was Yaris Sanchez but I had to be honest with myself and know that a body like that would not look so great on someone with my frame. Perhaps Curvy J may not be the best fit either but I think it would be more achievable than Yaris lol.

Ladies, when choosing your wish pic, be honest with yourselves. Just because the body of the model looks awesome doesn't mean you're going to look the same. Try to imagine yourself with that booty or those hips. If you're a more visual person like I am, download this app on your phone/tablet/iPod:

Yily is gifted and great at what she does, but she is not God lol.

I'm planning to go to Yily within April 27-May 11 not sure if she will want to operate on that Saturday. Ok so my mom and her friend are also getting work done. Take a moment take it in lol. My mom is young and is looking to feel beautiful too. Ok now that I got that out of the way lol I believe we get a $200 discount if we go in a group of three.

We decided we will be staying at the Jacqueline Marrero Medical Spa. I haven't heard great things about CIPLA so we thought it would be best to stay at JMSpa. Here is the link to the spa:

I spoke to Jacqueline and she is very down to earth. She made me feel very comfortable when I spoke to her over the phone. She assured me that everything would be taken care of while I was there. There aren't any rooms that have three beds, so my mom and I will be staying in one room and her friend by herself. The rate for my mom and I is going to be $150 per night. We have family in the Dominican Republic so we only want to stay until we're at least mobile and are able to do things on our own. Probably 4-5 days.

Our rate includes transport to and from the airport, transport to and from your consultation, three meals and snack a day, nurse 24/7to tend to you. They bathe you (not that you would want to do much of that anyway lol) give you your medication. You can get your massages there, if you need anything they will go out and get it for you, etc.

I asked Jacqueline what she recommended I take and she said "MUCHO KOTEE Y MUCHA TOALLITA DESECHABLE" lol. In English this means a lot of Maxi Pads and Chux. The maxi pads are for inside your garment to cushion the areas that are extra tight and the Chux are so your bed sheets won't get dirty so quickly. (With blood). I don't think I will be bleeding as much but I'm taking them just in case. I have a list of the things I will be taking but it's a work in progress. I will post that soon.

I also asked Jacqueline about their water (since I know this is the concern of many people traveling from the states)and whether or not I should purchase water from here and send it or what she recommended. She told me she buys "Agua de Botellon". Not bottles of water. Bottled water. It's that big gallon that you put on a dispenser and you have the blue button for cold and red for hot and you mostly see them in hospitals or places of business. So this means it is safe. If you google images "Agua de Botellon" you will know exactly what I am talking about. She told me she cooks with this water but if I felt more comfortable buying bottled water that she could go to PriceMart (which is like a BJAYS or Costco) and get me a pack of 24 bottles for $5.00 (US) (I thought it was very nice of her to try and accommodate me)

When I mentioned I was going with another person, Jacqueline told me if it was a friend who was coming with me to be careful who I came with.

LADIES!! We all love a good bargain and we all love to save money. But PLEASE think about who you are going to room with. Do you know this person? What habits do they have? Are they neat and clean? or disorganized and dirty? Are you going to be comfortable being naked in front of this person? Are you going to be uncomfortable doing many other things in front of this person? When considering these procedures, recovery is the one thing we tend to dismiss. Remember we are in pain, were uncomfortable, we want attention, we want to be left alone, take pictures, FaceTime with our loved ones, etc. When you are sharing your room you have to be considerate of your roommate. You're going to be sore and probably only sleep for 30 minutes at a time, and it would annoy the crap out of me if my roommate is interrupting my sleep. It may sound insensitive but the reality is we're going to be emotional throughout the first week. So please think about it. I love realself, and quite honestly I became very close to many ladies who are trying to be happy too. A lot of times I felt they were more than friends and they understood me more than anyone else did. Just trust your judgement.

This is it for now. I'm going to start working on my second one :) enjoy!
