I started out with Dr. Diaz. There was one other doctor that I very much wanted to do my surgery more than that of doctor Diaz. Well my first choice recently replied and had lost his server hence; all of my information as well. Once back in contact with him everything was as I had expected and I made the decision to change doctors. I stand to lose my $300 deposit and asked if it could be transfer to someone else but I was told no that was not possible. I guess just another way to make you pay for changing doctors... I am a believer that things work out for a reason and I also believe it was meant for this doctor : Luis A. Fernandez Goico, MD. to be my surgeon. Just a note to others the price given does not include my travel and any other expenses for things that I need to prepare for my trip and stay in Santiago Dominico, Dominican Republic. Dr. Goico is awesome. He is very kind, had a wonderful bed side manner, but is also to the point and honest about what he believes is best for his patients. Safety is his number one concern and he will never risk your safety. He believes that no patient or money is worth a patient life and if the patient chose to go elsewhere so be it. Dr. Goico is awesome in so many areas of his practice and his life.

One Month Today

Today marks one month since my surgery and I feel pretty good. Still a bit sore in some areas, but not unbearable. It's mostly on my sides or flanks where there was a little bit of lipo done. I moved to my second hook on my faja today also. It's tight but feels good.

Looking good! Happy you are feeling positive with your results!
Beautiful! So happy for you.
You look great! I can't even believe your before and afters are the same person lol. Good for you!
Thank you and I know right. When I first look at my before pictures I to could not believe I looked like that. Taking those pictures were a true reality check for me and how awful I thought I looked. The one thing I will say is my self esteem has never changed. Just as excited about life than as I am now,but yes I do absolutely love the way I look now.. LOL
You look amazing! Those damn faja's are a killer!
LOL, girl yes the fajas are. They are my necessary evil
I am just two weeks post op now - and LOVE seeing the progress in that first month! Thank you for sharing your journey. I am still swollen and uncomfortable - but seeing your progress has me excited for the next couple of weeks! :) You look AMAZING!
Thank you, I can honestly say it will look and feel better every day!

I have to say, I absolutely love your tattoo. I've been eye balling it since I found your review. You look great, good luck with losing the 10lbs, if you find the secret please do tell.
I was hoping my portion size and I drink lots of water. But I eat 4 to 5 times a day and I try to eat about every 3 hours. My example, breakfast-2 boiled eggs, slice of toast, juice. Few hours after a piece of fruit or chest stick and a few crackers. Lunch - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot, check en breast salad with Greek dressing. A few hours maybe a protein shake. Dinner-salmon, spinach with Italian cheese,small salad. That my routine and I just change out the meat selections or maybe for me snack I have a protein shake for both. A protein shake before bed is also good.
I meant to type "I watch my portion size"
Thank you :)

I'm not going to pretend I will try all. But i'm going to try some a try particularly the water and fruit as snacks mainly because I'm a big food junkie and my biggest problem is portion sizes and I hate to eat salad (always makes me think and feel as if I'm on a diet and I hate that feeling the most) :(
Portion size is key no matter what you eat.
Awesomeness!!
