Trying to make it in a world full of barbies...
$4,900
Trying to make it in a world full of barbies DURANDOLL in the making. Trying to find my once skinny waist. So this is my journey sx date April 20,2016 I must say this has been an emotional roller coaster. I went from being determined about getting a new body to being afraid to being nervous then anxious then excited and then back to being afraid. As you wait for your sx date many things get in the way of your decision. Like hearing of girls dying then reading bad reviews and experiences with and about your doctor. I decided to make a profile to help those who are like me afraid of surgery but not happy with their bodies.

Thanks for sharing. I too am nervous but I have been wanting to do this for the past couple of years, so I've decided to follow through with it, I'm nervous about flying, I've only flew twice and it was nerve wrecking. I'm also nervous and anxious about being out of the USA, and extremely nervous about the surgery itself. So, I feel you :) How did you get in touch with Dr. Duran and how long did it take for you to get a date booked? I would like to book for September 20th. I will be following your journey:)

She did get bbl. They gave her a pill for starters no anesthesia. Her hemo went from 12 to 5 which is deadly. It took 2days for them to even get her blood type! She has fluid on her stomach and back and they won't release her to come back to the states because of it! She has been admitted to the hospital twice in a week!
March 21, 2016
I'm so sorry to hear that I hope she gets better soon and thank you for sharing I can't believe it took so long for a transfusion smh!

Thank you. This is much needed. My hemo is at 12 and they said I have to get it to 13, but I would prefer 15+!! I will add to my meds. And I will be starting my list NOW!!! LOL
March 21, 2016
Yes love because in Dominican Republic your blood supposedly drops a number so if here you are 12 there you are 11 and more at risk for a blood transfusion I try not to over do it because too much iron is harmful as well
March 21, 2016
When did you start taking your vitamins for hemo levels to increase. I don't want to start too soon
March 21, 2016
I started 2 months prior but when I saw it go up from 13.5 to 14.1 I stopped the iron and then continued again 4 weeks before like 3 times a week since iron can be harmful for people who do not need it
March 21, 2016
I read that your hemo drops a number in Dominican Republic let's say here it's 15 to them it's 14 so that's why I wanted a high hemo I'm so scared of blood transfusions out there
March 21, 2016
Ok thanks for advice will start a few months before. Will get my hemo level checked to see where I'm at.
March 22, 2016
Which lipo foam and board did you use, and where did you but it from?
March 22, 2016
There's a website called thepinkroom that many buy from I haven't bought the foam or the board yet because I was debating Amazon or that website and I wasn't sure which foam to purchase my friend just came back from Colombia and the one she used thepinkroom has it. It wraps all the way around the waist Amazon doesn't have it
March 22, 2016
I was reading your journey your date was for feb of this year did you get the surgery?
March 22, 2016
Yes I did doll. Thanks for asking I did liposuction of my stomach, back, inner thighs, arms and a BBL. Overall I am happy with my liposuction, but a bit disappointed about my BBL. I feel that I got more hips than a butt. You have inspired me to update my review will do that soon.
I will be following your journey, so keep us posted.
