I am a wife and mother of two great kids. I am 34 y/o, 5'10" and roughly 183lbs.

I am at the point where I want to regain some of what I sacrificed for child birth. I just refuse to get used to my body that way it is, I believe that because I have the ability to change my body and it is something I really want to do, then by all means I should do this for myself. If I couldn't do anything about then I wouldn't waste my time worrying. I have been pondering this set of procedures for over three years. I have been back and forth between surgeons, trying to decide how I can maximize on this experience for the best outcome. I want to have a breast lift with implants, a tummy tuck and liposculpture including butt lift. It's a lot, I know, but I have been mentally preparing for a while now....

Congratulations!!!! How did she do your Consultation? I'm really nervous, but like you I can't continue to let my body look like this. Please inform me more.

Congratulations I know the feeling you get once you make that deposit. I'm also going with Duran on Feb 5 I will be posting my pics closer to surgery or right after lol. Good luck to you and I understand wanting to get it all done at once it seems more complete that way. I will be following your journey. Be well

Well, I am using the 'surgi-coordinator', Laura Rodriguez who has been timely in responding to my emails. I got a call from Duran today after I made my payment, but I missed it due to work, darn it! Will definitely talk to her before hand though.

I need a recovery house!!! I have been reviewing mannny posts and I am torn. I should be settled on something by the end of this week,

I too am going to Duran and i decided that Sealily was best not only because it is gorgeous but it also comes with the massages and daily laundry care and transportation anywhere I need to. I got a quote for $950 for 10 days all inclusive check it out.

Hello Tropical mood I have been following yr journey closely mainly because you will be having the same surgery as me and with the same Dr. Can you please tell me if you have many reviews of Duran's breast work. I have been searching but not come a cross many of her va work reviews . I know a he is such a great Dr with lipo and bbl and I have seen this but not breast. Please help me because I do not want to change Dr's. Please forgive me for my many questions.

Hi. Im considering going to Duran in February as well. Did you have a hard time getting in touch with Laura in the beginning? I had to call to get my quote and Im not getting timely responses....it makes me nervous to proceed. I know my profile is empty lol. Just been stalking. Will start writing my journey once I am set.

Hi,
Laura called me twice and has been answering my calls. I sent my deposit today, but had to cancel it because I sent it in Pesos and they want the money in US dollars, IDK y? Anyway, I am waiting for my refund before sending the money again. I little part of me is nervous, but I have been planning this for so long that I just want to get this over with. Ofcourse, with the right person, who I feel is Duran because most of her results are great!

Hi there, I am going to be going with Duran myself just having such a hard time getting in touch with her. I am considering getting a coordinator. What company is Laura with?
User Avatar
December 5, 2015
Hi, Laura is with "surgicoordinator", when you reach out to Duran from RS, I think they get the email. She reached out to after I sent the consultation request via RS. My issue now is that Duran is sooooo hard to reach and I haven't heard from Laura about confirmation of the date, which I thought I had. I sent the money via xoom.com and they told me they want it in US dollars (how would I know if I'm sending $$ to DR?). Anyway, I got he refund fairly quickly so I will resend the deposit to lock in the date because I already scheduled the time off from work.
