ORIGINAL POST

Hi ladies! I'm doing my 2nd bbl next week and I'm...

Hi ladies! I'm doing my 2nd bbl next week and I'm beyond excited and a little nervous. Ok so I had a bbl done last year in December. It was in Houston, TX with Dr. Cortes. My procedure with him was $10,500. A lot right?! So I just knew I'd be looking amazing after all that money spent. Well boy wasn't I wrong! I mean he did do a little bit, but not much. He left fat pockets all over my stomach and my butt not as big as I wanted. He didn't seem to really care when I went to consult an told him what my goal was. He was nice but just seemed he had so many other patients to get to so I was just a check off his busy list. Long story short, his staff, very rude. Didn't care about me after surgery was done. I still to this day don't know how many cc's he injected into my butt. Ladies we spend a lot of money on these type of procedures, we deserve to be treated good and well taken care of before and after procedure. But anyway...I started researching a lot of doctors and came across Mcadoo. I've read so many reviews good and bad but that's with any surgeon. I'm really hoping Mcadoo can work some type of magic on me an fix my problem areas and give me that nice rump I've been looking for. I finished paying off my surgery yesterday an I'll be staying at a recovery house 5 days in Miami. I had my surgery scheduled last week but after labs from my doctor, my iron level was a little low. It was 10.8 and my coordinator from mcadoos office said try to get it up to 11.5. Ladies I've been trying everything under the sun to get this iron level up. Any suggestions? I have Floridex! I have iron pills as well. Also any other advice you ladies can give me? I am so nervous. I've never been on a plane so that's freaking me out as well lol...anything important I need to remember to pack? Any Mcadoo vets? Please let me know! Thanks ladies I'll keep you updated!

I have the same situation back in April I had to cancel my surgery because my iron was at at 10.5 my best bet to you is double up on your iron pills drink a lot of orange juice, beets a lot of green stuff I plan to have my surgery in 2018. In that case I know what I need to do to get my iron up.
October 15, 2016
Having low iron sucks but now I know how to keep it at a good level. Yes I hear orange juice is good as well. I'm doubling up on everything lol, thank you!

Floradix is great and combine it with the iron pills and steak spinach and liver. I had the same problem in June. Supposed to get a breast augmentation with McAdoo and he actually wouldn't do it because my iron didn't go up enough. I got to 11.2 from 10 in 3 day and he wanted 12. I'm scheduled for 1/2017. I blame vanity for losing my lab results that I had done in ny.
October 15, 2016
Oh wow. Yea they told me my iron needs to be up before I have the surgery. I just hope I can get it to where it needs to be in one week...Thanks! I feel like I have so much energy since i started taking floridex. My labs were 10.8 so I really hope it does the trick for me when I test on Tuesday. Thank you so much for the advice
October 15, 2016
That should be enough time. My physician here in NY told me I was fine but it may be his own criteria for surgery to have iron levels higher. I was pissed because I paid for a trip to go to Miami for nothing. They do t refund you anything. I didn't bring any clothes to hand out either because I figured I'd be in a hotel room the whole time. They tried to get me to go to another doctor but I didn't want another doctor. I respected his opinion and I blame the clinic not the doctor.

Thanks for that advice because I was looking at Cortes. Seems like the more popular they get, the less they care. SMH

If you have a Vitamin Shoppe in your area you can go there, or you can order online from their website. You just have to remember to stop taking it 2 weeks prior because Hemoplex has Vitamin E in it.

I'm sorry I left out my story lol. I'm 28 yr old mother of 1 son. I'm 5'10 and weigh 235 lbs. so yea I'm on the tall an big side lol I've heard Mcadoo does his best work on big girls. I'm hoping so because I really need this. I haven't been able to wear my stomach out due to the fact that Cortes messed it up. Love handles still there an butt is droopy. But hey work your magic doctor. I'm patiently waiting.

That's why I chose him. I'm more on the petite side at 4'11, but carry a lot of my weight in the bottom half of my body...mainly my midsection. After seeing his work on thicker girls, I was sold.

Ok ladies wish me luck! I had my lab work repeated today. My iron level was at a 10.8 last Tuesday. I bought iron supplements pill and liquid form. I drank a bottle of floridex per my coordinator. I ate liver yesterday and I've been taking iron pills twice a day. Also drinking orange juice and water. I really need this test to come back at least 11.5. I'm suppose to have my surgery this Saturday! Flying out to Miami Friday. Fingers crossed ladies, pray for ya girl!
