So here I am trying to decide if I should...what I should and with WHO I should. Decisions decisions....so I start my research and here I find Dr. Matthew Schulman...I see his b4 and afters and I'm like wow...I need to see this man...and no thoughts I go for my consultation and I think he's great!! Work my numbers see if I can work this out financially and by some surprise I can...so what's the hold up???? I start to get nervous....this wouldn't be my first surgery this would be my 4th. And not for my own choices.

10yrs ago I went for surgery for tt lipo and implants...it was horrible. I had surgery with Dr David Ostad...who was known as the park avenue butcher..he messed me up..but I was grateful cuz there were more women worse than me that couldn't be fixed and from my understanding one even passed away during surgery. It was a very bad time for me but I got thru it. I was grateful to be alive and able to fix what he did...so I had two surgeries after that with Dr Rappaport who I have to tell you ladies is great!! Love him for all he did for me and his work is great...he fixed me up the best he can...and now I still have a few odds and end to finish and I will be able to finally close that chapter. So here is the time and Dr Schulman is my man. And if you asking y I don't go back to Dr R it's cause he doesn't do bbl. and I really want to get this dun..so if I'm going to do this might as well go for it all.

So here I am...sharing this with my new RS family...you guys have helped me decide and get through my battling thoughts. See after my consultation I found RS and I was sooo happy to be able to see all these reviews. But how I found u wasn't cause I was searching for myself I was actually search for a dr in DR for a friend of mine who said she is going there for a bbl. so I wanted to research the dr. And that's how I came across RS. And of course after looking up drs in DR and coming across reviews with girls who went and got beautiful results..I'm like wait...ummmmm mayb I can go to DR too....lolol...and now I'm lost. I was loving Duran till I read haz_love review it scared me and I'm still thinking bout her hoping she is doing better...than I came across Yily...omg!!! Her work is sooooo good. I would love for her to do my bbl BUT I can't I can't..I'm just afraid and I give you guys sooo much credit and blessings for doing what u felt and going with it and getting it done and getting the results you wanted I wish I had more courage but I think being I had such a bad experience already I'm just more afraid. But I wish I had it in me to be part of the Yily team...so after thinking long and hard and knowing this was something I couldn't bring myself up to do...I made my deposit w Dr S and even tho part of me says I want Yily I know this is what's best for me...oh and mind u Yily would have been like more than half the price..but...Dr S it is. I am very sure he will produce...

I am going to have a bl with implants..right now I'm a 38DD want to go down to a full C being I was never suppose to be a DD. I'm worried bout the scaring...being I scar very bad...but we will hope for the best and I'm also doing the famous bbl....yaaayyyy oh I can't wait. I have noooooo butt(pic will be posted soon) it blends w my back...no bueno. Sooo at first I was like yea you can put a little fat just to define my arch well ummmmm yea after seeing all these beautiful bbl b4 and afters....I'm going bigger...yessssss! I mean if I am Going to spend that kind of money I should just go for it...right??? So I am. And I can't wait. I'm excited. And I want to thank you guys for all you great reviews...you helped me decide what I want and with who. And I'm sure will also help in me in preparing for the surgery and recovering. Cause let me tell you, a lot of you amaze me with all the stuff you know to use and take etc. the girls that go to DR man lolol...when I see your bags with all the stuff I'm amazed...I need to know all you know..lol so I can heal and recover like you.

I will take any info advice instruction and knowledge you want to apply to me..please. My surgery is the end of December so I think I should start prepping myself now. Don't know if I shld start supplements or shld I buy garments....I don't want to wait last minute...cuz I am Very famous for that . Would love to see b4 and afters from anyone who had surgery with dr S...

Again thank you guys for all you great reviews.

Woo hoooo!!! Congrats hunny! Blessing on your journey! You're now a Schulman Angel in waiting! Looks like you won't be waiting very long;) So excited for you! Sorry to here about your previous PS experience but glad to know you found someone to help you sweetheart;)) Do you eat on the healthy side? Good carbs, protein- a variety of fruits n veggies? A good vitamin c supplement & increasing eating & drinking iron rich foods is a good idea before sx. Did you get blood work yet?

Lololol...I'm out of breath reading you mesg..lol. Ok..umm I have been eating in the heathy side for sometime now but I wouldn't say super heathy..but I'm not a bad eater either. I got a vitamin list from LolaJae...she recovered so good..and she has grat tips..so I'm about to get me some vitamins to get me on the good health path. I went for a physical last week need to go get my blood work done..than I guess we will see how I'm doing. I have to go get a mammogram cuz Dr S wants to make sure all is well b4 we replace my implants. So a lot to do.

Thank you. Just read your review and I felt the same way when I met Dr S. I felt very comfortable with him. And I have a problem trusting since I've been thru so much...lol. But don't get me wrong I'm very nervous, and pray I'm happy, I've seen a few b4 and after from Dr S. Here on RS But yes Duran and Yily do over power....with great results..lolol. It I found Dr S before finding RS...and was sure about him before...actually started having second thoughts after seeing Durans work..her work is so nice..smh..but wasn't brave enough...lolol. So Dr S here I come. Have my next consult dec 11 have lots of questions for him...can't wait

Thanks for taking a read of my page. Dr. S seems to touch us all the same. He reminded me of my mom's surgeon (who did her post mastectomy reconstruction) - no "god" complex & a down to earth guy. And as you read I'm like you - USA, USA is my mantra for surgery location. Your next consult is my date to deposit. We may run into each other, not sure if they're going to let me push that date out until the 31st; I need to make a few more moves before I let go of those monies. Looking forward to reading your update after your next consult w/Dr. S. Again your emotional strength is inspiring - rock on girlfriend!!!

Nerves are getting the best of me!!

Hello my beauties....not much going on on my end. Been trying to get supplies for my surgery here and there. Can be very overwhelming..so I'm just trying to do it slowly. I started with vitamins thanks to all your reviews I kinda narrowed down what I felt would be best for me rite now.
Women's mutivitamin
Vitamin C
Vitamin D3
Folic acid
Chelates Zinc
B-12 b-complex
Only thing is I haven't started my iron pills cuz I'm waiting for my blood work to see if I need it. I don't want to take them and it's too much. Yeah I know some of you are probly saying is this girl crazy....lolol well yeah I am but that's not the point...lolol I just want to bcarful I don't mess my self up w too much iron..work with me here,,,lolol

So other than vitamins I've just been trying to get my head together and prepare for my day mentally. I'm very nervous being as I told you guys b4 it hasn't been a good road. But I need to be positive. I'm telling you I hv lost sleep thinking bout this..,crazy. Smh...but true. I've been reading about everyone's recovery and I'm sooo afraid I won't hv that support of someone being there to take care of me...being that I am in a Complicated relationship and they don't support ps..so I can't depend on them helping me..I'm actually scared to ask for there help. Sad but true...which is putting a strain on my looking forward to this big day :0( but I do believe it will work out. I have to tell myself that this is for me and if they can't except this and put there personally feelings to the side than mayb I need to rethink this whole situation I'm in. I need to be positive for positive results, and I know it's a challenging recovery I'm in for so I need to get my head straight and be ready....sorry guys didn't mean to go off corse. Just my head is weighing heavy....and you guys are so great with supporting each other..so I guess I feel comfortable venting....

So..back to surgery...lol trying to get myself ready,,worried, excited..uncertain of wat I should go for..in terms of how big..lolol I'm telling u I've lost sleep thinking bout this. And wats crazy is I can't wait for the day!! I go to see Dr S on the 11th..have to make final payment and sit with him with my 101 questions...lolol. So I hope after that I will feel more at ezzzz.

Thank you guys for all you reviews...its like when you read them you feel like ur going thru it too...it's great to be part of RS family. Talk to my beauties soon. Stay strong guys and happy healing.

You're not alone. Nerves get the best of us. I'm sorry to read that you don't have a support system from your significant other. I can only imagine how challenging that is. But we are all here for you. Continue to stay strong and know that whatever God brings to, He brings us through!! Let the choir say "Amen!" So get excited, your blessing is unfolding

Btw....are you still going on the 11th for you deposit?
User Avatar
November 27, 2013
Not sure if I'm going on the 11th. I want to have all of the cost for Sx in my hand before I put the deposit down ($$$ phobias in my head make me paranoid about cash flow). If I get what's coming before the 11th I will be there for sure. Unfortunately I probably won't know for sure until the 10th. But I will touch base to let you know.

Amen! To what Msisiskali posted! Xoxo we're all here for you hunny! I'm in the same boat with you as far as a support system in family. It's a good idea you're checking your iron levels first cuz too much is bad. I took blood builder for 4 days then quit just in case because I didnt know my level yet. Sometime later was tested & I was at 14.5. So sticking with my green juicing only. Prayers & abundant blessings sis!

Yes, I get my results on the 9th...so I will see than. I'm grateful my family supports me..and I know will try there best to help me but it's hard to swallow that the one who u expect to be there the most won't...soooo what can I do? Just gona try to stay positive and look forward to my big day...thanks for you support.
