Novela !! A.k.A My Life!!
Well..... I ended up going to Dr.Pena.. Long story short it was in his office for about 4-5 hours waiting on wat was a 20min consult ..After all the traveling and money spent he tells me he feels more comfortable me doing a tummy tuck -_-! I don't have much of a stomach ,no stretch marks on my stomach , & most important I am planning to have more kids.. He told me I wasn't a candidate for Lipo & I should do a tummy tuck.. As I was drawing my blood by man that took me to a back room where the table still had blood , he drew my blood without gloves O_O!! I was in shock .. I walked out and knew Dr.Peña was not going to be my surgeon .. I quickly found Dr. Yily De Los Santos.. I booked an appt and saw her the following day.. I was greeted by her partner doctor Dr.Cedano which made me feel like she was one of my friends.. Very straight up and clear ! Really nice too'!.. She measured my body fat my height weight etc and said I WAS a candidate for lipo.. She was my size and weight when she did her lipo just 2-3 months ago .. I felt soooooo secure!! I knew I made the right choice.. Yes I kno THE INFAMOUS CIPLA!! Lol but I believe every doctor has different procedures .. I was scheduled for that Monday!! Super nervous and super excited..
Come Sunday.. My husband calls me that my daughters sick and he needs me back in NY because he's worried.. Here comes Super Mom! Booked a 2,000 dollar flight to NY to find out she had a little cold smh!! Luckily he promised to give me back all the money for my surgery etc (love my hubby :)..) so now I'm booked for sometime this Fall..
But I'm very dissapointed with Dr.Franklin Peña.. He seems to be more comfortable with tummy tucks.. I should have known from his blogs and appearances.. That's all he talks about ..& to be honest I haven't heard much hype on him.. Thank god I thought quick on my feet and got a second opinion because it would have been a waste of money smh .. On top of all that I left my GUCCI glasses in his office -___-!! I was more upset about that than anything lol..
I'll keep updating as time passes and as chapters get added! Until then ladies be Safe and I'm always here to answer any questions or comments :) .. See you soon RealSelf!

Before Surgery Pics!
These are some pics of me before surgery at my heaviest 190lbs!! Its distributed pretty well on my body for my height especially .. but as u can see i have huge thighs and arms! -__- i cant wait to see my little waste again!!
Booked my Flight!! 20 Days Left!
Ive booked my flight for the 21st of this month and im really excited. I spoke with the doctor today and he has arranged his personal chauffeur to pick me up from the airport and go straight to his office for test and analysis. Im going with my best friend which is great because she'll be my nurse and my pal to talk to and cry too when im in pain.. Plus shes very familiar with DR altho shes puerto rican lol! She is also looking into getting her tummy tuck done. Lets see.. it would be nice because shes been wanting it for a while also. Once i arrive to DR i will be posting before and after pictures ! Stay Tuned!!! :)
