I am posting this update because there are allot of RS sisters that have been contacting me. First let me say that I am so sorry for going AWOL but life has been crazy to say the least. My brother lost his fight with cancer right before my surgery date and I am now divorced...Long story for another day.
I am back on the schedule with Duran for this year. I will keep you ladies posted and update my pics because I have lost more weight....no intentional but stress will do that to you. Anyway, sending you much love and light.

Keep your head up I'm going thru a divorce a year now never married was together 11&half years but each day get better ily
January 24, 2017
Thanks so much. It seems like allot at one time but I am dealing with it. I am ready for my new body...and new life.

So sorry to hear about your brother and your divorce.
I am also looking (been looking) for a plastic surgeon that can satisfy my needs. As I read about Duran I got to the final impression that she is good at what she is doing, but she lacks bed side manners. So she is out of my list as I am a nurse and I am sick and tired of working with doctors who are excellent at knowledge but you cant get nowhere with them because of lack of bedside manners.
I am going with Dr. Leon because of two reasons:
1) A friend of mine had her nose done and a BBL with full lipo done by him and boy does she looks hot now almost 8 weeks after.
2) Dr. Leon is very patient, explains everything you ask in a clear and professional manner.
Good luck with your surgery!

OMG, It's Getting Closer
My surgery date is Nov. 7th. I can't believe that it is August and I am only a few months away....So much has changed. I have lost even more weight....I have changed my hair...started a business...caring for my brother....still working full-time....with 4children...5 if you count my husband.
I am so excited. I am not sure if I will have someone to go with me. My mom has not gone to get her passport yet. I perfer not to go alone but the date has been set and now that other people have opinions about the surgery in DR, my mom doesn't really act like she wants to go. I could give two total [RS bleep] about what someone else thinks. This is my body and I will do with it what I choose with or without approval from others.
I know plenty of people get on hear saying not to go to DR but miss me with that foolishness. The same people hating now will really be hating when I return.

Lol i have read all your reviews. I al so glad you decided to go with Dr. Duran. I have a sx date with her as well In feb 2017. Ways to go. I will make sure i continue to follow your journey. I pray you love love love your results. I see you are a tuff critic and not just sold on a few good reviews like most ppl are. When you have time could you send me information on how to find the RH you are staying at? I have been trying to find one and since i am just finding out about RH don't even know where to start. Thank you !
August 11, 2016
Awe that's Great...glad you have looked at my posts. I am going to be at Serenity Recovery House. The website is SerenityRHdotcom. They are very nice, but there are lots of new ones poping up but this one is really classy.
August 25, 2016
I havent been on here in a while and just saw someone else post that you have decided on Duran. I am not in any way trying to tell you what to do, but I have always been honest with you about things I observed and I feel I owe it to you to do the same now. There was a girl in the recovery house with me that went to Duran and be clear her body was sick. She just got lipo and a bbl, but when she got home her lipo was very uneven. I dont really know how to explain it other than to say her stomach looked wavy or lumpy. I still think she looks great but she was self conscious about it, got special treatments after she got home, and was considering additional surgery to fix it. I know that you are getting other things done so this might not be a concern but she said she got no after care from Duran, and she wouldnt even return her calls. This girl stayed in DR almost a month to minimize complications and still had this happen. Again, her body looks amazing, but I wanted to let you know.
August 25, 2016
Thanks for sharing love. I am never mad at information. I decided to get a tummy tuck and arm lift. When you get lipo you have to make sure that you get massages 2times a day when you have your drains in to help prevent the formation of seromas which can cause lumpy appearance after lipo. It is often not an uneven lipo but a seroma which is a fluid buildup under the skin. This is also seen when there is excessive fat removal when a person is heavier. With any surgery there is room for complication and a seroma happens to be the most common with lipo. Dr. Duran is a skilled doctor and I am confident with her skill and my knowledge of aftercare, I will be great...besides...I have a family full of nurses so if I dont know the answer its just a call away. I plan to stay in DR for 10days or maybe 15 if my mom comes with me. Thanks hunn, I am so glad you checked in. Xoxo

Do you know if she was still getting lymphatic massages and wearing her faja all the time when she got home? I want a bbl/lipo with Duran next year because she gives the best shapes but I am always looking for reviews on her- good or bad. Her cases where she only does the BBL/lipo on smaller people seem to have the least amount of complications from what I gather.
October 9, 2016
I think you will like your results with her! I will be following your journey closely and will be seeing her myself Fall 2018! : )
do you know how many post-op visits with duran your surgery price includes?

August 13, 2016
So you definitely understand..I will be leaving home Nov. 6 and Surgery date Nov.7..I would love to have you as a surgery buddy. I am staying at SerenityRH...I paid for a single room but if you come we can share..wish you well in your journey.
September 10, 2016

I'm planning on going in November as well so maybe we can be buddies however I was going to go with Madina for Tt liposuction and breasts augmentation...But I did not make my deposit yet thank God after finding out she sucks this the breasts!
September 10, 2016

September 10, 2016

September 10, 2016
Hi there! Weren't you originally going with Dr Leon? What happened?
September 10, 2016
Yeah but I heard Duran is artistically better and according to her IG I love her style. That is what I am looking for however she is not booking until February and she is currently on vacation until September 14!!! I want to go November the latest for my BDAY plus I want to ring in the New Year on the "FLAT" side.
September 10, 2016
If I'm not successful with Duran, I guess I have to settle with Leon, Mallol, Medina,or maniol???
October 6, 2016
Hi, I plan on going with Dr. Leon also. Question about the recovery house, where did you decide to stay?
October 8, 2016
Hello Dr. Leon have a recovery house called DR Care Home. I stayed there its really nice & clean & the workers take good care of you. Hope this helps
October 8, 2016
I will be staying at Serenity but Dr. Leon has a place and it is cool as well.

Looking forward to hearing more from you doll, thank you for your posts!

My Comments About Doctors
OK Ladies, someone inboxed me and advised me that some of my comments regarding Doctor's work could be seen as offensive....I figured I would reply to everyone and maybe the person who contacted me would see it too. I am going to try and be nice about...or maybe not...either way here we go.
1. Any comments I make about doctors on My page and any other page are to help those who want the best service for their coin. If that is not you "DO IT MOVING"...meaning get the hell on.
2. The person was specially talking about my comments about Medina and her breast work. If you want to go to Medina to get your breast done...FINE...do I care...Hell NO. But understand that there is a High Chance if you get a Breast Lift with Implants....or Breast Lift w/o Implants that your [RS bleep] is going to be messed up. The same goes for Yily and a few others. But if you want to go blindly and don't want to hear it, then once again "Do It Moving"....FOH
3. I give the absolute real. I am not going to lie on a doctor and I will not give a good review if their work is messed. I am not that chick.
4. I think that every person should decide who they want to go to and DO IT. If you feel that Medina or whoever is best for you...then DO IT...Follow your heart or whatever is leading you to your decision.
5. I am cool with anyone posting their personal opinions on this page but please be ready for the reply because you will definitely get one.
6. If you have an issue with a comment I make or if you find it offensive....say so in your post. Don't do this Inbox $#%t. Be real. I could give 2f#*ks but atleast be real with your MF self and say what you think in this forum...the same way you read it.
Got no time for foolishness...April 1st was last week...FOH

I have been following your journey and have no found anything you commented offensive. Pls continue to keep it 100!

Isn't that what this page is for....
You gave your honest and true thoughts- based on your research. If people just skip to the good parts of a doctors review- how are they going to make a well informed decision. Doctors have advertising to highlight only the good portion of their results. We needed a platform to also bring to light- the not so favorable results as well- so that we don't end up on that list. Every experience and opinion should be taken into consideration when choosing to trust a stranger to cut on your body. Because...at that end end of the day...that's the best info you have about the Dr.- unless you've personally worked with him/her previously. You can NEVER have too much info when it comes to matters of surgery,good,bad,or indifferent. You are honest,and that should be embraced,not criticized- especially when it's on YOUR personal page. If folks wanna ignore the bad,and strictly focus on possitive side of surgery/ choosing a Dr. ... then they might as well just pick one based on who has the best commercial/ad.
I love your insight,and thoughts. You do your homework. I can use all the input(from everyone) I can get to form a clear concise picture of the Dr I choose,not his best representative. Surgery is serious business... I can't afford to play favorites,or Russian roulette with my life. I hope you continue to inform.

Thanks love. I appreciate that. Some people find it offensive because they had their heart set on a particular doctor until they read my post then they start to question their choice. Hopefully my post are thought provoking and helpful. Stay tuned...more updates to come.
April 5, 2016
I hope you continue to make em think. This isn't something to be entered into lightly. Heck the first Dr I was gonna go to in Miami @ spectrum - (before I decided on Dr Leon ) ..now has his license suspended for almost killing 4 women in a 2 day span. And a lot of women were singing his praises- and they had amazing results,but but they were lucky. Who wants to rely on luck...?Yes- I wanna hear about those 100's of satisfied women ....but more importantly.. I want to hear about the unsatisfied ladies. Because that could very easily be me. And at the end of day..this is your freakin page!!
But just know- we hear ya,
and we appreciate ya.

Thanks for the support. So many people dont do research on these US doctors and get messed up daily. Dr. Leon is awesome and has never lost a patient on the table or off. I will continue to post...I let [RS bleep] like that roll off because as soon as the surgery turns out crazy looking...then they will value the reviews...either way I do me. Xoxo

Thank you so very much! I am considering using one of the doctor's for my breast augmatation. OMG!!! Thank you!!! And I had been researching.
October 9, 2016
I love that you are being 100% real. That is ALL I want to hear. If you know your sx was bad, say so. We are all kind of relying on the girls that have been there to be honest and not justify something because it makes them feel better. I want to know exactly what kind of "look" each doctor is known for and your posts have helped eliminate a few for me. Thank you for keeping it real, and to the haters, do your research ladies!
and thank you for sharing your journey
