Hi Sammyxo! U have selected a great dra. I had sx w/ Yily and am very pleased so far as I am almost complete w/ my 3 month post phase of my journey. Always here to answer any questions since our dra is the same. Best of everything -trip to DR, sx, recovery!

Hi love! Thanks so much for writing back :) can I ask you what procedures you had done with her? And how was the recovery? How long did you stay in Dominican? I would like to return as soon as I can but I don't want to risk any complications! I've also read a few scary things about pain medications not working and stuff ah but I want this SO bad! I've done a lot of research and I really like Yilys work! Thank you for your help I really appreciate it!!!!!! =)

I had a bbl and bl. I had sx on a Tuesday evening and flew back to USA Sunday morning. 4 days in a RH. Everyone heals different & pain tolerances are different. YILY did not tell me or even ask how long I was staying. She does ask on her form where u r staying. I was ready to return home the day after my drain was removed. As for medications not working . . . Are u asking about during surgery? My experience is; prior to sx I could not sleep well for many nights due to anxiety and by the hour my sx took place it was 5 p.m. so I was very hungry. Having a lack of sleep and hunger then the blue pill . . .gheez I knocked out! I awoke after being in the recovery room. So I didn't experience any weakness of med 1/2way thru sx. Ur always welcome doll!

Diva86 I am planning to have sx in early 2016. Have you got your quote, or sent you deposit, yet? I am wondering, because I know how busy that time of the year is. I want to wait for my quote, too because I want to get down to 165.

Hey doll!!! Yes I got my quote all ready back in June , she gives you 6 months to book, my goal is to go no later then February like early January. .. the reason why I'm waiting this long is because before you go under the knife you want to get your body ready for that... I don't have a buddy but would live one !!! I've been having this on my mind since 2013 and I belive it is time now ...

Got my blood test results back... Confused?! Help!

User Avatar
Sammyxo
Hi dolls! So I got my blood test results back today i was most worried about my hemoglobin levels but it seems i don't even understand hemoglobin levels so i'm a bit confused....
From what I hear and have seen your hemo level needs to be above 12.5? Mine says 148. When I asked the nurse she said "120-150 is the normal range so yours is normal"................. Still don't understand..??!?!?!? Is this above 12.5? Why is it 148?! Also, found out my red blood cell count is 5.49, normal range is 4.00-5.10. Next, MCH (what is that?!) is 27.0 normal range is 27.5-33.0. And finally RDW(??) is 15.2 normal range is 11.5-14.5. Are these things a major factor? Of course I want to be as healthy as possible before surgery and I really dont want to risk going all the way to Dominican to hear I can't have anything done and come home. Any help would be extremelyyyyyyy appreciated! Thanks!

Hey there. I'm replying from my phone so searching other screens is difficult so what I'm writing can be checked by googling the difficult names of each result. Hemoglobin is the number that measures iron and you're looking for it to be between 12-14 for a woman. I can't think of which number would be a three digit number liked you're asking but you can google it. It's most likely part of the blood test CBC. The MCV and MCH is the length and width of your blood cell. Not really important unless it's odd shaped. RDW is related to size too.

Doing Low Carb diets has always worked for me. I'm not as disciplined as I used to be but if you were willing to take Phentermine, a low carb diet couldn't hurt.

Try to order phentermine on-line. A colon cleanse can only benefit anyone trying to lose or at least give your body a jump-start. Drink a lot of water, not soft-drinks, no white colored food, no processed food only food that grew from the earth and of course a bit of meat to give balance. That's what I do when I gotta fit in that little dress! ;{}
