So, after stalking so many profiles and looking at many reviews I've decided to go with Dr. Alvarez. If you knew me then you would know that I am very analytical. I plot and I plan! I gather information and I execute. LOL.. :) (I'll make a post later about why I am choosing Alvarez over Fisher, Hassan, Yily, Duran and others) On Nov 22, 2016 I called and talked to Lena to secure my date. (I had previously did the virtual consultation and got the "OK" that I was a "good candidate" for the BBL) Im pretty sure that is what she tell everyone.. (Ill do a post later of my starting weight and measurements) She was very nice and sweet... she then sent me an invoice to pay the deposit.. Sooooo, at this moment things were getting real. I looked at my husband and I was like.. "Mannn,, do I really want to do this"??? (My husband was so opposed to me having sx. I literally had to drill the importance of me being happy w my body into his head) He was like "YES you do.. You've been going on and on about this for months...You done spent a lot of hours on research.. This is clearly something that you really want to do and I'm going to support you.. As long as you're happy.. Yada yada yada.. <3 "..... I kinda was hoping he would talk me out of it... I then reached deep inside and asked myself... "IS THIS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO?" "HAS IT REALLY COME TO THIS?" "ARE YOU SURE?" My "self" then responded "YES IT IS" Then myself got a little more confident and responded "HELL YEAH", then "YOU DAMN RIGHT" and finally "STUNT ON DEM HOES"... lmbo.. So I was like Im gon do it. SO I PAIDDDDD a non-refundable deposit of $450 to secure my slot. Its safe to say...AINT NO TURNIN' Back NOW!!

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing your journey! Xoxo

Best wishes on your journey I love your post lol! You remind me of me! I'm debating between Alvarez and Alkon in NJ. DR is so tempting but kinda scary!
January 19, 2017
Thanks for your support. I am glad that you liked my post lol.. & the DR can be tempting.. I was going to go there but the way my anxiety is set up.. I couldnt do it..and they have a longer recovery time, and some of them use drains...and most of the girls have to get a blood transfusion...Not even to mention its in a different country... I plan to go there for Vacation but not sx lol.. Have you decided on a doctor yet?
January 19, 2017
I'm really tempted to go with Alvarez but now I'm hearing ups and down reviews...
January 19, 2017
Hello I'm looking to receive the BBL and I am kind of New to the researching part, is there another option other than the drains or everyone doesn't have to have drains?
January 19, 2017
I know that drains are popular and I'm not sure of all the doctors that use them.. but I do know that my DR. Sergio Alvarez does not. That was one of the big concerns I had as well when i was 1st researching. Where are you researching at? Just realself?
January 19, 2017
I have been researching here on RS and Youtube pretty much, Is there anywhere else you would recommend. What is your doctor method for the drainage?
January 19, 2017
Or did you just hear that most girls need a round 2? What was the reason that they needed another round? Was it they didnt get projections or needed more lipo??
January 19, 2017
They complain about not enough ass and more lipo and I saw a few complain about the amount of lipo he's allowed to remove but I think that is the law anyways
January 19, 2017
I have been doing the same it's so stressful sometimes I'm set on a doc then I change my mind lol I believe he does not use drains
January 19, 2017
Yes he's only allowed to remove 4 or 5 liters. But we have to keep in mind that a bbl isn't weight lost sx.. it's sculpting sx. So for best results you're going to want to loose weight and tone those areas first. And some ppl who have been complaining about the amount of fat fail to realize that the fat injected has to be good fat and as far as needed a round to.. a lot of girls with square bottoms have to realize that it's harder to make a square into a circle and then add hips.. hips take up a lot of fat. So yes for some circumstances round 2 is needed. These places that are making these claims could say anything.. we don't know if they followed guidelines or sat on their bottom or not. All we know is what they tell us.. honestly you never will know until you go through with it... But some ppl don't think everything through... Ive done a lot of research and talked to many ppl who have had sx by him and others...think that the fact that he takes precaution and actually follow guidelines is very noble..
January 19, 2017
And no he doesn't use drains... I've heard that drains hurt and can leave a scar.. I don't want that.. and I hope you don't feel like I'm getting upset Im just a straight up type of person...
January 19, 2017
Yes I admire him for that as well and you are right you make valid points. I am just undecided because of traveling like should I travel to Miami or just do it in jersey that it's closer and I'll have my moms support
January 19, 2017
Girl not at all...lol I'm not sensitive lol...I heard good and bad things about the drains I think drains are good cause they release that fluid u accumulate after surgery when u don't get drains you have to make sure to be on top of the massages even more. Where do you live?
January 19, 2017
You are right about the drains. I never looked at it that way. This whole thing is going to be a challenge so it would be nice to have support frim your family throughout this. If you can't bring them with you I would do it in jersery. But if you feel like you will be fine with a nurse and support from a recovery house then go to miami. It all depends on your personal preference. Regardless of how good the doctor is your mental and emotional health is more important. I say that bc you might have some bomb results but you might not be mentally or emotionally stable to keep them up during the healing process...

i kinda wish he used drains.. different surgery, but I had a TT with drains and eveloped seroma after drain removed, for me eases my mind to have that to let fluid out.But yes , I had 2 and one of them hurt!
January 19, 2017
Yea I think being able to get rid of the fluid as much as possible reduces the risk of developing a Sedona
January 19, 2017
I agree!!!! It's so many different emotions!! I'm glad I found you and we can chat and motivate and learn from each other
January 20, 2017
Yes girl.. im here. It may take me a min to get back with you but ill always respond.. So do you think I should get my boobs done..or just wait until later. ?(I posted a b4 pic)
January 20, 2017
wow, i never thought about it like that. How was the TT.. was the recovery time long?
January 20, 2017
Girl I sent my info to Alvarez last week and I still wanna set a consultation with the doc here just to see what he says....but I like that Alvarez has the cell saver I would definitely get that if I go with him
January 17, 2017
Look forward to seeing your results!! He looks like a great doc
January 19, 2017

So, 1st thing im going to say is.. yes I was 223lbs(a month ago when that pic was taken)..I am 218 now! people say I carry my weight well.... Thats so nice of them lol.. As far as my body.. my husband loves it.. he loves the jiggle...(his words not mine) But as for me I want it gone.. This belly has to goooooo.. It doesnt look that bad on the picture but a month ago i was 250lbs so im a little bias.. I have hips naturally.. but I have no booty.. My hubby and other ppl swear im thick.. I be like... ughhhh where? Smh, ppl will say anything.. What do I like?? I like the dimples on my booty lol.. I didnt know I had those until I lost weight.. Nah, seriously IDK, I like my curves.. I think that once i loose this belly i will have laterals and a nice shape. I do want my hip dents filled in... and my waist is already small its just that darn belly.. But i plan to loose 30 more pounds and do some weight training to help... SHOULD I GET MY BOOBS DONE? I THINK THEY SAG..MY HUBBY SAY THEY JUST BIG...WHAT YALL THINK????

February 15, 2017
I wouldn't touch you breast I think they look fine. I was just scrolling through your pics and said "she has nice nipples" lol don't touch them they might lift up and seem better to you after you have your stomach sucked out and butt done it will balance out. But I'm too afraid to touch my breast and after two kids mines seems to sag too but I'm dying to get my butt done so I'm reading everyone reviews and I wish you the best
February 16, 2017
Thanks you so much. I appreciate your encouragement. (as I loose weight they do seem to look lifted) You have convinced me to leave the boobs alone.. maybe I'll get them pierced tho... You should go for it.. how long have you been contemplating getting it done?
February 16, 2017
For like 4 years now but I really want to get it done before the summer this year. My fiancé wants me to get it done more than I do so I'm glad he's supportive. But this baby had me bent all out of shape and looking like sponge bob and Patrick had a baby aka ME! I can't take it anymore and I was going to pay 8grand here in Boston but I found this app from watching YouTube videos and when I seen it was cheaper in Miami I felt like I've struck gold! So I need to get it done. And your breast will look nice pierced it's going to hurt like hell but it will be cute
March 16, 2017
I'm 9 months PO, Alveraz did my TT/w lipo. I couldn't be happier. I'm going for more lipo soon. You look like a great candidate. I cannot wait to see your transformation. Congratulations!
