ORIGINAL POST

So I'm really considering going for my surgery...

So I'm really considering going for my surgery most likely in October (I know very short notice) I'm 5'2 and currently weigh 127 lbs, I was told I need to gain weight but don't know how really. I really am considering Dr. Duran due to all the great reviews from all you wonderful ladies. It's crazy how I would always just lurk and do my research without ever considering logging in and having you guys accompany on my journey but after reading so many reviews and how much support you women give, I feel sort of inspired to help someone else as you all have helped each other....this really is a Sister Surgery community. So with that being said pls give me all your inputs on the recovery house, the recovery process and if anyone wants to buddy up, my loving husband thinks I'm crazy for buddying up with a stranger but I kept explaining how much you all help and support each other and it's def a beautiful thing....can't wait to hear from ya TA TA DOLLS!!!

Welcome & blessings on your journey!I'm 5'2 124lbs.I'm trying to decide on a doc. & also gain a little weight.

When I spoke with someone at Cortez office they said to take prenatal vitamins and protein shakes, I also read it helps to drink the protein shake after a meal.
September 24, 2013
Welcome Suga! I am a Cortes doll in the making but I am also afraid of not having enough weight to get my desired results. We can keep each other encouraged!
September 25, 2013
I absolutely love Cortez results but I'm a little iffy on the way some girls stomachs came out and it's the same high price for everyone, I'm kind of leaning towards Duran....they told me prenatal vitamins and protein shakes so I've been drinking protein shakes after most meals and eating whatever I want (which never helps because I just have a small appetite with a big gut ugh)
September 25, 2013
LoveAButt, can what concerned you with how some of the girls stomachs came out.. was it not enough fat removed in your opinion .. just curious I was concefering Cortes..more so because in live in the same city where he practice. so i could recover at home..
September 25, 2013
I'm not sure how to really explain it but its like dents that I see in girls who have surgery done (not necessarily in his patients) but I have seen those same dents in like 2 of his patients, its not the flat smooth stomach look although his patients do come out looking awesome its more of me being so observing and cautious because I always seek close to perfection and I dont want to be too exaggerated at the hips and butt, I want to be well proportioned with a really small waist

Ok but he is 9500! Sme cost w international travel vause the hotel/rh and food/post opt meds for antibiotics will definitely run up the annie! Think about it!
September 25, 2013
Yes you're somewhat right but when me and my boyfriend did the calculations we are saving about $4,000 on top of me liking Dr. Duran's work a lil more, although I'm still following some of Cortes women's journey just to finalize my decision

I'm going to Dr Cortes in March. Gaining weight is not my issue. I got enough.... lmao But we are all sisters here. I wanted to buddy up too but not sure if I'll have my kids or not . I'm in Texas tho....... don't
September 25, 2013
I was considering Texas due to my family being down there and they would help me with my 2 yr old but I'm kind of leaning towards Duran

Ok thanks;)I have no problem gaining.After losing 40 some lbs,I just hate to gain.I look at food & it ends up showing on me lol.I know it'll be worth it though;)And hey,you keep spelling Cortes' name wrong like me.My mind always goes back to using the Z.
September 25, 2013
It's funny because I went to check your page and told myself the same thing lol what's even funnier is that when I would search him I always did it with an S, I'm a confused soul....

Ahaha,yeah,I've known a Cortez family for yrs so I think that's why I keep spelling it like that.How much weight are you trying to put on girlie?
September 25, 2013
Well Cortes ;) office told me I should gain at least 15-18 lbs I'm not trying to get too thick or be too WOW on the hips and booty but I do want a difference. Its really my waist, love handles and butt that I have a problem with ugh

You and i are about the same height and weight, ppl tell me that i dont need plastic surgery and that im crazy, blah blah, but i feel my body is not how i want it, i dont expect to look like Jlo, but a smaller waist and rounder BUTT is what im looking for. What are u looking to have done? and how are u planning on gaining weight? i personally find it hard to gain weight, i work out but not nearly enough as i should
September 25, 2013
I have the same problem with gaining weight but lately there's no limits to my eating along with protein shakes and Cortes office also said prenatal vitamins plus being a lil more lazy than usual. I have a gut and love handles with no bootay whatsoever ao I'm going for the lipo with the fat injected in my hips and ass yum yum lol I have skinny legs so I don't think I will be getting my thighs lipo'd

Lol you funny but I sooo feel you. I have a butt but I feel its long.. Lol I want roundness... N my waist use to be small but umm no more it's wider then I want it to be.. My issue is I paid a lot of money for my gym membership (June) and I don't wanna loose my money (again).. So I guess I will do more weights n no cardio in the mean time.... Let's see how this goes. When are u planning on having yours done?
September 26, 2013
I want to go asap but idk how to get in touch with these doctors plus I want to buddy up....I'm really considering Duran but maybe even yily before she leaves for maternity leave, I didn't even know she was pregnant which explains why a lot of girls were complaining about her attitude, I would have an attitude if I was pregnant in hot weather fixing girls bodies while I'm sitting around with a big ol belly sheesh

September 26, 2013
Lol pregnancy n attitude go hand in hand. Keep me posted maybe we can take this adventure together
