Hello everyone.
I am 39 yrs old and the mother of 2 boys. Ages 18 and 7. It's my turn to do something for me. Before the 40th b-day, this body will be rightttt. I've been stalking and researching this site since august of 2013. I was already certain that I would have my procedures and I was certain that it would be with Dra. YILY. After seeing the phenomenal job she did on a friend of mine and her mom, I was hooked. I've been very low key but think its time to start documenting my journey. I contacted Yily via email in sept. I was looking to have large volume lipo to stomach, waist, flanks, full back, inner thighs, knees and of course bbl. Yily evaluated my pics and decided that I needed to lose 40lbs and that I would need a tummy tuck. In her quote, she included the tummy tuck, lipo of arms but did not include the knees and I thighs. Everything else that I requested was included. The quote was $4300. I asked her to send another quote minus the arms but include the knees n thighs. That quote was $4800. After researching, I've decided that I will not be doing the knees and thighs. Im afraid of the saggy skin and a thigh lift is not an option for me. So as of now I will begin my weight loss journey (again). My starting weight was 242.8. I had gotten down to 228.4 but now im back up to 232.4. Holidays have not been good to me. But time is moving fast and I will be in DR in april so its getting real.

At the end I'm doing it in my home city but I found a Colombian doctor, my surgery is Monday I can't believe if , I'm getting really nervouse !!
January 13, 2014
Hey how are you working out with the tea?When i started using it i started dropping the weight instantly.I hope you get the same results.
January 13, 2014
I've dropped 5 lbs this past week! !! Ive been watching what I eat n doing the tea. I really need to stay consistent with my vitamins!
January 13, 2014
Wow!Losing 5lbs in one week!Your gonna be at your ideal weight in no time.It is very important that you keep up with your vitamins because yily wont operate unless your hemoglobin is 12.0 or higher.
January 13, 2014
Yeah, you know when you start any diet, that first week you lose alot. Most likely water weight, but im going to keep it up! What do you think about taking my vitamins at night? They make me feel nausea...
January 15, 2014
The vitamin b12 increases your meabolism.I would take that in the morning.but the rest you could take a night.Did you take your hemoglobin test yet?
January 15, 2014
Nope, I haven't. How about u? Im really consider the lift. Just have a lot of questions about the implants...
January 15, 2014
My hemoglobin is 13.0.I was also thinking about the lift too.Did you get a price quote?
January 15, 2014
I didn't get a quote yet, I want to research it a bit more before making my decision. But, I dont want to wish later that I had it done when I could go I ahead now

Im shrinking!

When I originally started considering this surgery, I weighed 242 lbs. As of today I am.....# drumrollplease...228lbs. Im so excited with my progress. My biggest obstacle is staying focused on the goal of weighing 200lbs. I might push my surgery date further out cuz I want to treat myself and not cheat myself. I want to get to 200 before going. I know I can do it!

I also need to lose at 20lbs. What are you doing to achieve your goal? I'm planning my trip in late June or early July. My daughter is still in school and with all the winter closing I'm sure school will be closing later. Look fwd in hearing from you. Best of luck:-)
