Putting my Plastic Surgery journey on hold for Gastric Sleeve Surgery.

Need more sleep!
Where do I start? I've been stalking this site for a while. Now that I've been interviewing doctors, I feel like not only am I on this site more, but I'm now searching doctors on IG and Facebook. This is hard to do during the day with a one year old whose favorite word is Mom. So once he goes to sleep, I spend the next 4 hours or so on my laptop, either doing classwork or researching for surgery. By the time the morning rolls around, I'm so tired that I drag butt all day and I'm finding it really hard to make healthy food choices when I'm tired and grouchy. Any tips to shutting down at night or making weight loss easier? I'm open to anything girls! Good luck to everyone and sleep tight!

In the search for a doctor
I read a great review for DR O a while back so I requested a quote for surgery. Fast forward a few weeks and I received and odd email that I almost deleted but I decided to look up browards website and realized that they have Dr O listed as working there.
So without hesitation, I requested a quote and starting searching for ore reviews. I'll start by saying that I didn't really understand the quote because it says 3500 for full price or 3900 for half a surgery??!

Research infection and death rates in the DR before you make your decision.
Dr Freiman did my surgery, and I think I am going to be completely pleased. If you want natural looking breast, he is your man. The practice there is not run by the book (I saw the doctor for the first and only time just a few minutes before surgery, I had to sign several blank pages, I signed things saying he had explained things to me. Things I never would have done as a professional but did because they had my money, and I chalked it up to how they ran their machine.)

If you research him, you will see a very sad case involving an 18 year old. Note that he was compassionate toward the situation, he was not charged with fault, and it seems she did not disclose all of her medical history.

Thank you for your advice. I had been looking into doctors in Florida because it's affordable there. I feel like they might as well be in a different country with the laws and practices they have there. I find it pretty shocking that any doctor can do plastic surgery there. Then of course, there's the doctors without malpractice insurance. This Dr O that's I was looking into either works at three different places or recently cut ties with one. His website on realself has a different name from the one who contacted me. Also, I read a review from someone who went to Vanity in Florida and noticed that they were cleaning equipment with Clorox and fabuloso. I almost feel safer going with someone in the DR who has had a perfect track record over a lot of the ones I've seen in Florida. Just from looking at freiman's realself reviews, I see a lot of unhappy patients who say that he didn't listen to what they wanted, had poor bedside manner, and by looking at one review of a tummy tuck he did, I would not chose him. It's hard having so much information at your fingertips! Once I start thinking I want to go with one doctor, another one catches my eye and it takes a lot of digging sometimes to uncover the ugly business. :) I'll take the plunge eventually.

Quote from Medina!
So I had received a quote yesterday!!! It was in my junk mail :( Being that i'm an impatient person, I had decided to message Dr Medina on WhatsApp, thinking i would get a faster response. Before she even sent me the 2nd quote after our talk, I noticed the original one in my junk mail. Here's what she said I need:
After see your pictures I understand I can improve your body with the following:
" Tummy tuck, Liposuction on back, flanks, waist and with or without lipoinyection to Buttock (BBL) + Breast lift with implant exchange"
After years of implants, I want them gone! I want a natural breast with a lift. Even if it means a small, yet perky breast. I messaged her back, asking if this would be possible. I'm waiting for a response.
She also said I need to lose weight but didn't say how much :-/

how much did she quote you

Dyneshiab, The main difference in what you and i are requesting is my breast lift and augmentation. Although I was hoping to do away with implants all together, i think that they are probably necessary for me. :(

Hi
have you received a 2nd quote from the PS and when do you plan to travel to DR?
I'm hoping to travel in July 2015 to have BBL, Lipo and BA.

Hi! I received a quote from dr Baez, but it was for just Lipo, TT, and BBL for $3800. That doesn't include recovery house or as many procedures as Medina quoted for. I am waiting for a response from dr Almonte. I am probably not going until after the beginning of next year. I was thinking April. If I can't get money together sooner then it would be anytime I'm on break from school.
