I am very excited about the procedure. I want to...
I am very excited about the procedure. I want to start by saying I wanted this procedure since 2007. I thought that maybe and i had a baby I would get some bootay (at least that's what everyone else thought) and the results of that were negative. I search high and low. My choices were Dr. Salama, Dr. Salzhauer, Dr. Campos, and Dr Pelayo. I did not chose Dr. Salama because I just wasnt satified with his work. I loved Dr. Salzhauer work however it was out of my price range me being a single mom and all. Dr. Campos seemed promising but looking at his work a lot of girls butts well....really didn't change to much in there after photos and who am I to rain on someone else's parade? My final choice is Dr. Pelayo.
I am having upper abs, lowers abs (my gut), love handles, sacrum area (for that S look, lower back and upper back with fat transfer. I am not sure where I will be staying yet. As January nears I will update that as well.
I maybe traveling with my sister or alone. If I travel alone I will stay where there is staff on site to help me or check on me. Which ever keeps down the cost of travel and plane tickets.
Including RXmeds, pressure garments( I plan to get two one after surgery and one when my swelling goes down), plane ticket(s), hotel, food, transportation I am looking to spend another 1,000 to 1,500.
I will know more as time nears. I am darker brown skin complexion. I am 5'7" I appear taller in person. I weigh 190 lbs. I gained weight for the procedure over a year time frame I started gaining weight for the procedure in March 2011. Mu normal weight is about 165 to 175. It may still seem like alot but anything less and I would look like a crackhead. No offense to those who are 5'7" and 120lbs but being that small is just not a good look on me. My measurements right now are 38DD-35-44 1/2. I have a slender build so with clothes on I do not appear to weigh 190lbs.
My long time Boyfriend of 8 years knows and he is excited too. His only question was how long did he have to wait until we could have sex and when could he it my new butt. lol typical man. I do not know that answer right now.
I have to have labs done two week prior. I will list the labs once I get the list. I am still in the beginning stages. However the price I have was the best price I was told. I think it's because I waited soooooo long to get the quote because the doctor was so busy and she said he was having a good day. I paid a deposit of 1,000. I would recommend having at least your deposit ready because the quote I recieved was so good they were not going to hold it for me for six months like all the other doctors would.
I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. A special thanks to screen name "wannanewbooty' for all your help!
I will be posting my recovery list soon.

Just my observation. Ladies if I'm wrong please weigh in. I welcome your thoughts.
I agree he is awesom at sculpting and I need that but my gut needs it too, and my love hands etc. I need overall. However I do plan to work out after. I know the doc do the surgery a lot but it is very important to me that I am not treated as just another case or procesure. i need to make sure special attention is paid to my problem areas.
No I have not and no I will not. My skin hyperpigments very easy so I don't want the recovery or the scar and then I will have a really ugly scar. Funny cuz dr careage same pratice as dr pelayo said my me to have one and that I didn't need a bbl but I disagree. My skins elasticity is very good and I believe I will have great results with just lipo and bbl and post surgery exercise when I'm released to. And if I'm wrong ill be back on her about my tummy tuck. Lol

For your trip... look into staying at a condo instead of hotel. Alot of times its much cheaper and its like an apartment so you have all the comforts of home. Just makes ur eyou get there a day early to clean and bleach everything. You dont want any problems with infectiosn so you gotta make sure everything is squeaky clean. I use a website called www.greatrentals.com. I am very familiar with the miami area so let me know if you have questions.
Wishing you the BEST!
My labs I will need two weeks prior to the...
CBC w/diff (complete blood count with differential)
CMP (complete metabolic panel)
PT
PTT
INR
HIV Test
I will be going to an outside lab where you dont need a doctor's order. You can order any test that you like.

Thanks it was a hard decesion and it took forever and it seems like forever for the date to be here ugh.....but I've waited this long.
I definately understand. I was suppose to have this surgery along time ago but I continuously out others before me and I ended up year after not getting it. I am so ready, I think it will seem more real once I get on the plane then once the draw on my body it's gonna be so sur real. At first this all seemed like a dream to me you know? Then once I paid my deposit I never felt so excited I felt like I won the lottery. lol Good luck to you and I can't wait to see your results.
The website is www.myvanidades.com, if u want individual results you will have to ask them if they will send them to you and another person from this site had him as her dr but put dr careaga because he was suppose to do her surgery as well as he was suppose to do mine but within the group dr pelayo specializes iipo and bbl's. It was a hard choice but I am satisfied with my decesion. I almost chose luis suarez in mexico I'm glad I didn't get the surgery last year when I planned. Are u planning a bbl as well?
I have started getting my recovery bag together. ...
