Hello ladies I'm Day. After hours of reading reviews I've been hooked lol. I've decided to make a profile to document my journey for my desired surgeries. I am looking to get a tummy tuck, armlift and aggressive back liposuction to get rid of my rolls. I want to go to Dr. Almonte her work is amazing especially with plus size woman similar to my body shape. Right now I am working on losing weight I'm am almost 300 lbs at 5'8. So I am working out hard and looking to get surgery late 2016 to early 2017. I know that may seem like a long time from now but I want to be my healthiest before getting any surgery done.

Wow! You are solid meaning you look like you have a lot of muscle vs fat. I think working out the proper way, and eating right of course, you might not want to have plastic surgery. Looks like your body will bounce back easy. Just my opinion. Good luck on your decisions.

Thank you. A lot of people tell me this lol. Depending if my skin is loose or not will be the determining factor of getting surgery.

Girl you will be good! Looking at your body now like "Queentruckdriver" said below you have much muscle tone so you will start to DROP INCHES really quick!! : ) Wishing you the best and I applaud you for taking care of your body first before jumping into surgery, it's really hard for us to do this but we are doing the right thing by getting as healthy as possible before taking this leap! Keep us posted and Happy New Year!!

Thanks girl. I know I had/have a curvier shape naturally it just when I gain weight I feel I look sloppy if that makes sense. Most people say I don't need surgery which sometimes I do see where they are coming from. My boyfriend isn't supportive at all lol he doesn't want me to get any surgery done especially my boobs. I will see how my skin bounces back when the weight is gone if its loose and hanging I'm getting surgery but if I don't need surgery I won't get it.

I'm excited to follow you! Either route you choice you are going to have nice results regardless. My problem is the loose skin from having two babies and I have "Hypothyroidism" so it's very difficult for me to drop inches and weight, I practically have to kill myself in the gym so I really need this push! I could wait two more year but "NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT" LOL

Im excited to follow you as well. Hypothyroidism is difficult I know how you feel one of my close friends has it and its hard to lose weight even if you are eating properly and working out. I feel you and Ms. Sweet Brown We don't have time for that lol we want our dream bodies NOW!!!

Hey. You look really good. I suppose that due to how you carry your weight. You and I have a few of things in common. I am about 300+ lbs, working on loosing the weight (planning on having VSG-sleeve done in late febuary). I am working on getting a quote from Dr. Fatima for late Oct. 2016 for TT, lipo w/ possible arm lift and bbl. I choose Dr. Fatima for the great results she is able to accomplish on plus size women and her insidious lines (attention to detail). Anyway i'm reaching out because we all need support on this journey.

January 19, 2016
I'm still trying to figure that part out have you chosen your surgeon yet? I do know that I want one that is familiar with weight loss and what comes along with it as a patient.

Should I request a quote even though Im planning on going the end of 2016?

Hello Ladies I am curious when did you request a quote? I am thinking about requesting a quote however, I'm concerned if its too early to inquire. Once you get a quote do the doctors expect you to book within an allotted time? This question may seem silly but I really don't want to waste the doctors time when I'm not ready to get my surgery within 3-6 months.

Hi doll! I don't think that should be an issue just convey that to the doctor or doctor's assistant. The earlier, the better! This will give you enough time to get financially, mentally, and physically prepared. My cousin received a quote in Nov but she's not going until July. Hope this helps! Have a great day doll!
