So I've decided on doing my Round 2 with Yily de Los Santos. If you are interested in reading about my Round 1 with Fatima Almonte please visit this review here http://www.realself.com/review/dominican-republic-mommy-makeover-dr-liposuction-journey-32y-wife-and-mother.

After some careful thought and consideration I have chosen Dra. Yily as her consistent results are more attractive to me. Now don't gets wrong, I love Dra Fatima Almonte and am thankful for the work she did on me R1 but I am not certain I want to allow a R2 as her results aesthetically are not as consistent with the look I'm going for. I want a significantly defined waist and bbl and I know Yily delivers this everyday. I have confirmed my date with Yily for 12/30/14.

Hey!! Not nosey at all! I've been meaning to update my RS review on what happened why I didn't get it done. I actually did a separate post about it here http://www.realself.com/review/bellecara-baltimore-md-breast-reduction-totally-unprofessional

Dont think it hyperlinked but you can read about that drama under my profile. But long story short I'm just getting them done by Yily in December.

I loved your first blog and will definitely follow round 2 blog!! Hey do you think having the TT affected the results of the bbl (laying on your back during recovery)?

Bella___Barbie

November 2, 2014

Thanks so much I appreciate the love! No I don't at all. Many people have TT and bbl and are just fine after. I just don't think I received enough volume for my size. Because I will be getting a breast lift Round2 I again won't be able to sleep on my stomach so I will be sure to update you on if or how it impacted my results.

Thanks! I was wondering because I'm thinking about a TT but I had concerns about the recovery and messing up my new booty as well! How long before you were able to walk upright? How did you sleep and other than the drama at the airport, how was your flight home? Did you swell? Did you sit on your pillow? Sorry to bombard you with so many questions but Im going in 4 weeks so I'm a little nervous.

Haha! Don't worry about the questions! That's what we are here to do support each other! I think I walked hunched over for about 1 week. The doc says to walk like that for 3 weeks. I couldn't deal. Lol Sleeping well it wasn't until maybe 2 weeks post op that I slept through the night. And even then the pain! Oh GOD the pain. Your back is completely on fire from the lipo, you are stuff sore and to top it off in a tight ass faja! So sleeping will be very hard. I mean even today 4 months later when I change positions at night my back is still sensitive so yea..but beauty is pain right?? Lol And yes I was swollen after my flight. Although I wore my compression socks I had the ones with the toes out so my toes were swollen and my ankles somewhat. Not cute. lol I know you are nervous right now. Try to breathe and just give it up to God. He will protect and guide you in this journey! Try and get some rest now and get excited because you are about to be transformed!!!

Girl, I have myself all worked up and all my emotions are all over the place. I have to remind myself to just chill out and leave it to God. Im just a ball of emotions. I'm struggling to get my hemo up. I've gained 10lbs in preparation and feel so uncomfortable. I'm also cursing myself for not knowing more Spanish considering I had 9 years of Spanish classes...wooosaaah! Lol. I am however excited for the new body. Thanks so much for the encouragement/advice and I apologize for the mini rant.lol

Hey Hun! I've been conversing with Yily about not getting a tummy tuck along with my bbl only because I haven't had any kids and I do plan on it. I'm just scared that by getting the tummy tuck now and then getting pregnant will ruin it. She said she understand . How long did it take you to recover from getting a tummy tuck? Also I've been trying to decide on getting a hotel or going to a Rh. Decisions, decisions! I'm scared, anxious and all the above. Any info and encouragement you can give me, I'm All ears.

Hello! Well in my opinion the TT is a walk in the park compared to lipo. I never felt pain from my TT incision. In terms of healing I think it took about 3 weeks for my TR incision to completely heal on the outside and it's still healing I believe from inside out. My belly is still somewhat numb and that's a weird feeling I'm becoming accustomed to. I've seen a review on here where Yily just did lipo on someone who had a significant abdominal fat and her results were amazing!!!! I don't know if thats your situation but just pointing out that even with just lipo she can work a miracle! As for the RH vs Hotel I think I would only consider a hotel and hiring a nurse if I was traveling with family/friend. I would not choose that option if I was traveling alone. I stayed at a RH my R1 and plan to stay at a RH my R2 but that's because I am again traveling solo. Hope this helps!!

Switched my primary!!

Bella___BarbieNovember 9, 2014

So if you followed my R1 you know my primary doc was a pain
In the you know what. She really looked down upon my decision to go to the DR and I wasn't looking forward to going back to her for a pre op before my R2. So in Sept I made an appointment with a new doc not knowing who the doc was or his views on SX out of the US but wanted to start screening docs to find one that would treat me and not judge me. On Friday I found that doc! I had my first appointment with him and just frankly told him why I was switching docs and that my old doc "gave me a hard time" about my pre op and scripts before traveling for SX. He assured me that he doesn't judge and that he will not give me a hard time about pre op prescriptions or treatment! Yay! So I booked my pre op with him for Dec 11. He also ordered bloodwork so I can check my hemo right now and he coded it in a way that my insurance would still cover the same bloodwork to be done for my pre op. So I'm uber excited to not have to deal with that judgmental doc! I've been taking my vitamins daily and eating very clean (besides those few pieces of Halloween candy I stole from my kids...but we are just going to overlook that OK?!?) and I've been exercising at least 3 days per week. I'm currently down to 207 lbs from 223 Oct 1. I'm working hard to be at least 195 before SX. I'm 5'10" and a lot of the weight is in my thighs and but right now which I don't mind. I think once Yily contours this waist it's going to look amazing. I can't wait!! 53 more days!

Yily, Cabral, Duran oh my!!!!

Bella___BarbieNovember 15, 2014

So as the time nears and I continue to look at all these before and afters from the "trifecta" I am really conflicted!! I mean I love Yily's work!! But the more I look at Durans sheesh...then Cabral I think tops them all!!! I really don't want to choose wrong round 2. Nobody has time for this pain again or spending these coins again! R2 whoever I go to I need to get it right!!! Ugh!!! So hard!!
