Hello RS!
I, like many others have been stalking this site for several months since I discovered it--my husband says "your obsessed." I say "no, I'm doing as much research as possible before I elect to let someone cut on my body!" I think it's a little of both, however????. I created a profile a few weeks ago. Overwhelmed by the candidness and transparency of so many women on RS I've decided to join the ranks of women with the courage to share their journeys. I am a 40 yo mother of 4 in much need of a mommy makeover! I've always been on the smaller size in terms of weight, but I had 4 BIG babies: 8.13lbs, 10.5lbs, 9.6lbs & 9.0lbs. I am 5'8, 160lbs. I'm sure the diastasis of my abs is pretty bad ????. Anyhow, I'm finally going to do something about it! I've done quite a bit of research(obsessing), on this site as well as FB TT groups, video procedures, I've been to a plastic surgeon for a consult, although not recently, and have talked to women who have had similar or the same procedures. I've gotten the good, bad and the UGLY from my findings and although I SQUIRM at any sight of gore I've decided to do it--I'm having plastic surgery. I desperately need a TT w/MR and I would like fat grafting to my hips and booty. I'm also considering BA but am undecided. I'm very particular about my boobies and I don't want to look fake, I'm PICKY. I have a little bit of booty but not enough, I've lost the projection I once had during my younger years and although I have started to go back to the gym to work on my body as much as I can before sx, I can still use some help!! I just hope the Dr. can harvest enough fat to get the results I want.  I've decided to have my sx in Dom Rep and while the cost is definitely a consideration, it was not a determining factor--- DR 'GETS' what women want for their bodies: coke bottle figures with nice proportions lol. I don't think the vast majority of American Drs. understand the aesthetic. There are a few that do, but from my research, most don't. At first I was considering going to Yily. Her work is very good too, however, Duran's reputation for being one of the best in DR, the number of procedures she's done, safely, AND because I had a friend to go to Duran I decided to change from Yily to Duran. I did however, get a quote from Yily because I'd heard that Duran takes weeks, months, even never replies to email. I contacted Dra. Duran via email, but it wasn't true in my case. I've read many reviews on RS that ppl are having a hard time getting in touch with Dra. Duran but she replied to my emails right away, within hours. I've sent her a total of 3 emails on two different days and she was quite prompt. Yily did quote me $500 cheaper but I decided to go with Duran. If I'm doing this I want THE best or doggone close to the best!  I haven't actually confirmed my date yet, I need to call her assistant, but I'm looking to confirm June 22nd or June 29th, 2015???? If anyone is planning on having their sx on or around this time and would like to be sx buddies, please msg me :) Anyway I am SOO excited to be starting my journey. I've decided to share on RS to glean any and all information I can use to navigate my journey, as well if by my sharing I help someone else get through the process a little easier, a little less anxiety, or a little cheaper, I will be happy. I have collected tons of information that I will be sharing in a future post. For now, here are a few pics of how I look now ????????

Hey sweets. I FINALLY received a quote from Duran (took her about 4 weeks) however I've since decided on Dr. Carbal. My surgery is scheduled for 6/1/2015... Sounds like we're sort of shaped a like. I'm also 5'8 and weigh 162 (2lbs more than you) *sticks tongue out at you* lol

Congrats!! I was actually hoping to get a date for June 15th, 2015. I may have to push it to the 22nd though. I'm going to Yily because for the basic bbl that I want and me having a smaller frame I feel like she would do a really good job on me. Also, I'm either staying at Angie's (Silhouette) or Yasmin's. I have to compliment you though, having FOUR big babies (your body does not look 40) and managing to keep that figure. You look good! :)

Hello RS ladies!! It has been a minute since my last post; I don't really feel the need to post if I don't have anything new to say with regards to progress but I've decided to go ahead and send my deposit to confirm my sx date. I've decided to have my sx next year because I couldn't possibly find the time to do it this year! I have wayy too much going on. I have a heavy load this semester and will be finishing graduating next year, with my bachelors a month before my daughter graduates high school. FINALLY! I've made so many sacrifices for my family through the years, one was finishing college. As a military wife it's been a challenge moving around so much with kids ---packing and unpacking!! So I'm so glad to finally have the time and wherewithal to make my goals a priority again. Better late than never! Anyhow, I plan to schedule my date next year after we both graduate, so end of June is ideal. This should give me some time to recover before we transfer out AGAIN! Just found out my hubby made rate and we will be moving again. Gotta love this life!

What's up with that RS?! Lol I just sat here and typed my life away and then my whole message didn't even post!! Anyway what I wanted to find out from some of you DURAN DOLLS is if you know how this money transfer process works? Or any of the DOMINICAN DOLLS out there knows how to send the deposit? I have a quote and back acct numbers from Duran but the process seems a little sketch. Like, can I do this from my bank? Do I have to go to Walmart and do a money transfer? Lol what the French toast? I haven't asked my bank yet just trying to get a feel for what to expect if anyone knows. Please comment or advise if you have some insight. Btw I posted a few 'inspiration' pics lol I think I have similar body type as these ladies. Petite frame with long legs.
