I hope someone can answer this for me. I am Type 2 and very well controlled. I'm nervous that once they see this on my health screening they are going to deny me surgery. I have already paid my deposit and so I hope this doesn't stop me from doing this. Because I knew this was something I wanted to do, I took control of my illness, has anyone heard of being denied the surgery?

I don't think it should be a problem being type 2. As long as your lab work checks out ok. But there have been dolls , denied for BBL on here by some doctors being diabetic in the states. Some dolls tend to flock to the Dominican Republic instead.Keep in mind it depends on the Doctor.Best wishes doll;-)

I have well maintained high blood pressure so I understand your concern. I think you'll be fine. The only concern is if you're going through Spectrum or Imagenes, I've seen ladies disclose their health issue, accepted for surgery but cancelled by the doctor right before because the dictor wasn't told about it by the coordinator. I recommend you request a phone consult with the doctor so he can go over it with you and discuss any additional labs you may need. Best wishes!

Medical Clearance

88ButterflyApril 13, 2016

So I just got off the phone with the rude Medical Asst in the office and was instructed that I will need to provided Medical Clearance from my primary care doctor and have a EKG because I'm over 40. Anyone had to have a EKG for this reason?

I'm 43 and will need one as well. It's common, even with doctors in the Dominican Republic.

I had to get a medical clearance and EKG before surgery also. I am over 40, but I think my doctor has everyone to do it. I did mine on a Wednesday, my doctor received my blood work back and cleared me by Friday, and I had surgery on Tuesday. It doesn't take long and I cut mine really close.

No Medical Clearance :-(

88ButterflyApril 27, 2016

So my primary doctor would not give me medical clearance however it's not for my diabetes but because I had a hysterectomy in December and she doesn't believe my stomach in healed enough to with stand Liposuction at this point. She says it normally takes about 9 months to a year before your stomach and the nerves are back to normal. I was disappointed but I realize my health is more important than a big booty..So my journey is delayed for now.....Thanks ladies for all the support, I will see you in a few months.

I'm so sorry to hear that, but safety is a priority. Thank Godyiunhave s primary doctor and surgeon that realize that. This gives you extra time to prepare and research. See you in a few months!
