Dra. Almonte Too Busy for My Liking..

I haven't had any procedures done with Dra Almonte yet but I have already contacted her regarding what my hopes are for surgery and from the moment I first spoke with her, I knew I would be in good hands. She has a great staff working with her that seem to make the experience all around comforting. This is a life altering decision that can not be undone once you've gone through it. I'm confident Dra Almontes work will shine when all is said and done.

I have been thinking about having a mommy makeover for a very long time now. I think that I, like most of you, have become addicted to this RealSelf site. Reading all the reviews I possibly can and taking in as much information as my brain can hold. I really appreciate the stories that have been posted whether positive or negative and am grateful this community exists. I have compiled TONS of information and I wouldn't be able to say I have if it wasn't for the brave women and men that have documented their journeys. With that said, thank you!

I was originally planning on having surgery with a different doctor in Dr that was recommended to me by a very close family friend (and her results are good don't get me wrong) but I communicated with this doctor and felt like I got nothing but a cold shoulder. He rushed me and kept brushing me off not giving me any straight answers. My search for a good doctor began . I've done tons of research and I had decided on either Dra Duran, Dra Robles or Dra Almonte. They all give absolutely great results. I requested a quote from all three and Lesley(Dra Almontes assistant) responded immediately and I was able to get a quote the very same day. I recieved an email from Duran and Robles within 24 hours requesting I fill in questionnaires. I submit them and recieved my quote from Robles in 48 hours and have yet to hear back from Duran. By then, I was already decided on Dra Almonte and I know she is the one for me. I love that she isn't afraid to work with bigger women. And they look AMAZING after if I do say so myself. I also love that she only schedules 3 max a day 3 days of the week. This is great to know because it means she won't rush on me to get to her next patient and she will also have free time in the week to follow up with me. I am impressed with how responsive her assistant is given how busy they may be and how many inquiries they may get in a day.
So this is it. I've chosen June 8th as my sx date but I would have liked a sooner date. (If anyone would like to switch dates, I'm open ;D ) ..And now the real journey begins.. I plan on losing at least 20 lbs before surgery to ensure better results. I'll post updated pics after my weight loss :)

Hey ladies .. Just thought I'd share the quotes I recieved from Almonte and Robles .. I'm kinda bummed that Almonte isn't available until June. My birthday is June 29th and I would really love to enjoy my birthday celebration and not feel like I'm still in "recovery" mode. I'm wondering if Robles is available sooner?? Her and Almonte do work side by side in the same clinic and I've even seen times where they have recommended one another if one isn't available. Could she be available for early April???.....
