This decision is not something that needs to be taken lightly. I know more than anybody else to desire to have a banging body. A traveling to the Dominican Republic has its benefits certainly but it also has its disadvantages.so many things have gone wrong and I have seen so many things going wrong and speaking two ladies and their experiences sometimes out of fear ladies will not speak some time to stop there so frustrated with the process they do not speak but I want every single baby that makes a decision to do this to go and fully equipped and fully knowledgeable as to the side effects some people will never have any but on the other side of the spectrum some people do. Sandra Jones we met on Facebook she had surgery with Dr Duran and right after surgery she would experience excruciating like pain. There were no testing done to figure out this she has blood clots all she was told that she was suffering from information then she noticed at her b*** cheeks would locks I did she only had one full bottom and the other one looked deflated. Because I know healthcare in Canada's free I told her to get on the next plane to Canada I'll go home. Thank God she did because if she did not she would be another death story. If anything Dr Direction be thankful that I encouraged this young lady to go back to Canada. She waited one day and went to the hospital as soon as she got there she collapsed 6 North sis had to rush to her aid the young lady fell into a coma. The immediately put her into the intensive care unit and if anybody knows about the attentive care unit that's where people go when they are going to die. You were put in a segregated room you have a bunch of medical pads all over you monitoring your vital signs you have two nurses assigned to you that monitor you 24 hours a day. She had infection in her tummy tuck scar which happens but she also had blood clots travel to her long how did Dr Durant not keep her in 6 o'clock and instructed her to go home and get the kids she means she would not suffered being in a coma Dr Duran Duran diagnosed Sandra as having information which is the same thing she tells me and everybody else that I have spoken to. Dr to run to let me have skills she has helped me a lot but the one thing that I went down for she did not do and blame that on information. We were still very cordial and she said that I could come back and get more work done if we both decided on that to date she hasn't responded to one of my calls yes I owe her $500 and if she continues to honor our agreement and correct what she did to me I will be more than happy to give her her $500. She did not remove the fat from the top part of my book buttock area she did not lift my breasts. And when she saw that I was displeased and that I advocated for Sandra a human beingthat upset her because she felt that I was bashing her I will not buy Dr Duran I am a legal professional as such I deal with facts. And what I have seen is if you are not picture ready and look amazing you are left behind which hurts because I really light and admired Dr to ride and I felt safe with her. I am so contemplating going back for a second round 2 bot I am scared. So I am taking one year to get my body in shape get to my goal weight because I do not want to be tweaking here and there and flying down there. I wish my dolls out the best I have nothing but love for all of you and I want to see that you guys to feel your dreams of having amazing bodies. I live 30 3 years absolutely miserable. I was overweight I was 370 I had a horrible body and I had no self esteem what I have learnt is work can be done on the outside if you unless you fix the inside of you it will happen I love you Kaze dearly hugs and kisses

I feel sorry for all your trouble. Despite that I must say you look great! Also,congratulations on the tremendous weight loss, I believe it was hard and only strong , determined person could do
October 21, 2013
It was hard but I thank God
October 20, 2013
all that just to wear a bikini. for those results. The determination to save money and lose weight should be put into eating right and exercising before surgery. Seen some amazing results on RS but this looks like too much.
October 21, 2013
It's not simply just to wear a bikini. With major weight loss there is excess skin issues. I been through a lot and agree
October 21, 2013
Don't respond - this person is very negative and all their posts are negative not one nice thing has been said! You look fabulous aside from all the hardships you went through - mentally dealing with this is another issue and that you need all the positive thoughts you can handle 1 physically you do look great!
May 5, 2015
PLEASE TELL ME WHY HE'S HERE IF SHE BELIEVES IN EXERCISE AND HEALTHY EATING AS OPPOSED TO SX. FOH CHRISTY DELETE THIS [RS bleep] FROM RS. IT'S NOT OK FOR PPL TO TEAR A PATIENT DOWN AT SUCH A VULNERABLE TIME. SMDH THIS IS HARASSMENT PERIOD
October 24, 2013
I wasnt trying to put her down hourglass38. with such a major weightloss especially that surgery, its alot. what your body is use to carrying and working for is gone. sorry if i offended. not my intention. just from reading alot of post it shouldnt be about having a video vixens body. they arent perfect and most of them werent big to begin with. love your body and get it to where u want it to be without putting it thru trauma and all the meds. props to you sweetforlife. and your decision to take time now. it does take time and patients.
October 24, 2013
I didn't mean to be overly sensitive, however, she needs positivity no matter the body type she is trying to attain - different strokes for different folks. I commend you for answering though shows it wasn't coming from a bad place! Good luck to all the bbl ladies!

You look good. But that seemed to be kinda risky. Maybe you can save extra money and do it in the US glad you are OK. U look great.

wow...I'm SORRY you went through all that. You should read haz_love she is going through some things really serious and sad. She is a strong woman and working though it all. Dr. Duran put fat in her sciatic nerve as well. I'm glad you are doing well. I didn't get to see your pics while healing but you look fabulous! Thank you for sharing your story.
October 6, 2013
Thank you very much. I did read her story and reached out to her. It is sad these doctors only post the good. They hide the bad or make you the victim out as though you hid pertenant information and that you are trying to slander their character. It is not like that. Everyone has the right to be informed and make informative decisions. I never tell anyone not to go to her BUT I will tell my story and have them make up their own mind
October 12, 2013
excuse me but may I ask what happened I'm trying to research what I can
October 12, 2013
Put haz_love into the search and her blog will come up - it is a super sad story

Hey Sweetforlife...fellow Canadian here. It sounds like you have had some major problems with your surgeon, for which I am true lay sorry for and I do hope that you are doing better now. I just got my breast reduction done here in Ontario..it was covered by OHIP. I am planning on going to Dominican Republic in January for my tummy tuck and lypo. I will be having Dr Rafael Estevez. He has shown me complete respect and has answered all of my questions over the past few month. But, I have a question for you.....did you purchase travel insurance, and if so, from what company? Thanks and happy healing!
October 6, 2013
Hello, Thanks!. I did not purchase health insurance but I suggest you do! So many things can go wrong
October 21, 2013
hello....I did not get insurance through the doctor. I was is such a rush. I have insurance through work. You can get insurance through the doctor.

Ok, that scared the crap out of me . The blood transfusion and the fat in the sciatic nerve. I think I'll do my school in Canada becaus I'm not thrilled about a plane ride post op. But I must say you look great! I'm very happy that you came out healthy , after all that's the most important thing. Thanks for your very detailed and honest review.
