Well I want a tummy tuck, bbl and Lipo. I am researching every free chance that I get. It is so hard Bc as soon as you fall in love with one doctor, something negative pops up. I was looking at DR and Columbia doctors but I'm so scared of the what ifs afterwards. I want people to be held responsible if it's there fault you know. It's a risky thing but they do great work in and out of the country. The price difference is Bananas. Uhhh. Decisions like these are so hard. Help me.

You did the right thing by researching as much as you can. This is a very important decision. You gotta feel good about the Dr that you choose it's gotta feel right. If you have a really good feeling about a Dr that you choose just remember that all of them will have people that recommend and others not so much. It can really be a matter of personal preference and taking in your own personal situation into that decision. I have two friends that had theirs done by the same Dr and two totally different experiences.

Blue you are so right. It's like ughhhhh. I am soooo leaning towards Ghurani. I love the way they do the bbls in DR. It is a big price difference but when it comes to safety, F it. Now I'm hearing that spectrum damn near kick you out right after. Like wth
October 9, 2016
Dang i see it's making you a bit jittery. I chose Dr Yily de los Santos will be in RH w my fiancé and even though people have their own experience/opinions it's ok if it feels right to me then she is my choice. I haven't wavered so what I'm getting at is if you have doubts see what else you can find out to help you choose.

Me tooooo. This is nerve wrecking but so exciting. But why am I considering just doing a bbl and Lipo now. I want to be able to sleep.
October 10, 2016
Funny I thought about just lipo but on the consultations that I had with several surgeons I was told tt is the better option for me. So as I continued my search and finding tt is good but I didn't want to look disproportionate. All I can say is thank goodness for Mommy Makeovers. I'll be doing lipo of the abdomen, armpit areas (bra fat areas), full back, flanks and waist, bbl via fat transfer, tt with muscle repair, breast lift. I'll probably feel like I got hit by a bus but I'm all in and so ready to be comfortable in my own body

Gurl yoooooo I swear you are reading my mind. I'm so ready for dr Ghurani to tell me what he thinks. I want to be comfortable as well. I just know that I want to sleep. What in the hell are we gonna do

Renewal I hear some Drs say they want to to come back Six months later for the tummy tuck. But as Blue said some Drs will tell you to do it all. I'm waiting to hear from him and I will send let you know.

October 12, 2016
And renewal I spoke to Emily who is a sweetheart. And she said that I should do the Lipo and bbl first. Then come back for the tummy tuck. If the pain is unbearable I will never get a tummy tuck
October 12, 2016
I think having a TT is bearable because its flat .. Youre not pushing anything against it but a breastlift?? I had it done and wish my Doc would telll me itvwas too much to combined.. Pain wise ur be alright its not that bad ..keep up with pain meds on time .. Make sure you do take stool softener3 days before the surgery.. It takes a few days for its to kick in... Pain meds will defnitely cause constipated..dont stressed out too much .. Think of the outcomes...Thnk of at the end of the day your transformation will be unbelievable ...
October 12, 2016
Ps.. Thinking of round 2 lol

October 12, 2016
That's what I keep thinking of. That's why I wanted to do it one shot deal girl. I'm gonna just go with the flow.
October 12, 2016
How did you get sleep? I was reading on one of the dr blogs that he recommends patients sleep in a recliner...
User Avatar
October 12, 2016
Exactly Blue. I'm looking on you tube and ish. I'm like maybe I should get and antigravity chair and cut the butt out. I saw someone use a round lifesaver. Lol. Renewal better spread the love.
October 12, 2016
Lol. We are short of sleeping suspended in the air lol. I just spoke w a friend of mine who had "the works" done she said she slept on recliner at first but it was bothering her back so she slept on her side with lots of pillows and taking her pain meds helped
User Avatar
October 12, 2016
Damn Gurl. I really need the works but shiiiiiid lol. She said suspended in the air lmaooooo. I guess you will make a way huh. The stress *screaming emoji* lol
October 12, 2016

October 12, 2016

October 12, 2016
Plus I really like my choice of Dr. and where I'm going for it can't wait
User Avatar
October 14, 2016
Can I ask you what made you choose your dr? She was fed one of my choices. How many other Drs did you consider and who?
October 14, 2016
Ok I consulted with 5 in NY, 1 in PA and 2 in NJ. Altogether I felt rushed or like I was being taken. All wanted me to get a loan for my surgery unless I could pay in full on my own plus wanted me to come back to get additional work done. I just felt them as very impersonal maybe cause I was anxious about the whole thing. I wouldn't name only because I didn't have anything done with them and don't want to discourage anyone else from their services. I chose Dr Yily because although they are in another country any questions I had they answered in good timing and I didn't feel like they were brushing me off. Their quote was straight to the point and had specific instructions easy to understand and no hidden bull. I also seen her work and it seems consistent if you folllow instructions.
User Avatar
October 14, 2016
I completely understand and respect that. At first spectrum did not get Back to me. When they did they have been consistent, pleasant and knowledgable. I was so comfortable with their work. Yily does do some great work man. Her and dr Duran. I love her tummy tucks yoo. And I love Durans BBL. it's like ughhhhh. So much talent and who to go with us the damn kicker. I haven't even looked at nobody in NY lol.
October 14, 2016
NY prices are astronomical also there were one or two of the "sales" people kind of pushy and called me a few times but once I told them I didn't want to be riddled with a bill they left me alone
October 12, 2016
Plus I found a great Dr in Dominican Republic
October 12, 2016
I'm going a a few days sooner just to see are it all in lol
User Avatar
October 12, 2016
I was thinking about going a few days earlier as well boo. I'm like might as well. Then I can purchase some of the stuff I need and check out the place.
October 12, 2016
Yea I ordered some compression garments already and I wasn't aware that some garments like the socks come in so many designs thought it was cool. I bought off of Amazon and Walmart
User Avatar
October 13, 2016
You mean the faja things? I was looking at those as well but don't know how to order. I see people saying stage one and stage 2. I'm like maybe j will do it when I get out there
October 13, 2016
No the garments you have to wear like on your legs they look like socks. I also got arm compression garments. As far as the fajas/cinches/binders/waist trainers try to get one that has adjustable straps/clips etc. if you can't then check out the size charts on the web then as time goes you may need to get another size to accommodate
October 13, 2016
I have the hourglass waist trainer it has velcro
and it was good when I was losing weight awhile back but I'm still fat so it would roll up after awhile lol

I am still having the surgery but, I may now only do the Lipo and BBL first. Depending on the severity of the pain that may be it lol. I am just thinking that I want to be able to lay down. If I do the tummy tuck as well, I'm A@@ out. At least I'll be able to sleep on my stomach you know. Ladies that have had it all some please help me out. What you think.

if you Think you just need the lipo is ok but if you have sagging skin you have to do the tummy tuck too
User Avatar
October 11, 2016
You see and that's the thing. I had a section and I had my right ovary and tube removed. I do have sagging skin. Maybe Bc I have asthma (controlled). I don't know. But every dr that I have consulted with thus far is saying separately. Except for out the country

Hello! I am scheduled to have my surgery Dec 8th with Dr. Ghurani . I am staying with Dolls recovery! I am excited because they have actual nurses and I just want to make sure I don't have to worry about anything. I lucked out because they were originally booked, but I contacted them again and they had a cancelation. I booked last week. If you want to go with them I recommend booking early.

October 14, 2016
I was definitely checking dolls out first. Then spectrum said to check out a new life recovery house and they look good as well. I'm deck tell gonna book early. In less than 2 months you gonna be snatched hunni. It's so exciting.

October 14, 2016
I know! I can't wait. Just really curious what I will look like! I was going to go with the one Spectrum offered but I didn't get the "wow" feeling like I did with Doll. They are expensive, but it is worth it to me.
