Hello Dolls!!

This here is my first entry. I will try my best not to drag it out.

I am 31 years old. A mommy to an 11 year old little lady and I am miserable with my appearance. My breasts have gotten so big over time that they are just out of control. I am 5'4 , 182lbs and a size G!!! Yep! OVER IT!!!! My back hurts and these indents on my shoulders from where my bra sits are just ugly. I used to do ballet and just hate doing anything that makes my boobies jump around because it puts strain on my neck.

I have always talked about getting some work done but never actually went forth with it. I am the type of woman, once I set my sights on something I am getting it! I guess, subconsciously I knew I wasn't ready! But now...... LOOK OUT WORLD!!! I'm coming!

My brother and future sister in law took me out to breakfast for my birthday (11/15) and she mentioned how she was traveling to Colombia in February for a breast augmentation. My brother began to fuss because he planned on going with her so she wouldn't have to travel alone. It being done a few months before their wedding, I understood his pain. Lol. I jokingly volunteered to go with her and she says "Now you can get that butt you've always wanted! And smaller boobs!!!"
*light bulb*!!!!! I locked my eyes on the prize and so let my journey begin!!!!

I have been researching like a mad woman ever since. I reached out to the Dr. my sis in law is going to, Dr. Giovanni Cortes and have had difficulty communicating with his office. Call me old fashioned but when someone reaches out to you regarding something so serious, shouldn't you respond just to assure that their message has been received and you will get back to them at your earliest?! Hmmmmm... Apparently NOT! Lol

I did have to contact the Patient Coordinator again for her to give me a quote. Mind you it's only via whatsapp and did I mention she never asked my name until I made it a point to ask her hers and introduce myself??

Quote:
A tummy tuck with laser liposculpture
A breast reduction without implants
And a BBL
-$5000/ including 10 post op massages, consultation with the anesthesiologist, and the insurance policy.
She quoted me $85 a night at their "new" recovery house and told me I had to stay in the country for no less than 20 days!

Now Dolls, I am no expert BUT I have never heard of someone having to stay ANYWHERE after surgery for TWENTY DAYS!!!!!! This clearly works it self out to over $8 grand after flight and some major time out of my pay check! I WILL NOT PASS GO OR COLLECT MY $200 !!!!!!!

I then found Dr. Campbell and his website. *que in angels voices*. I submitted my inquiry online and with in hrs I had a response from a sweet woman named Laura! She gave me some instruction to send my pictures and answer a few questions about myself. Done! She responded as soon as my things were received and told me that the Dr. would review my case and tell me what he felt I needed with in 24 hrs. Ladies......DONE!!! She answered me back the next day!!!

Now Miss Alicia (mystery woman's name) did not mention ANY of these things! Just the procedures! If one does not speak, then one is simply left to assume. The thing about this all is that the more information you are willing to give us, the happier and more interested we will be in you! Our lives will be in your hands for 10-15 days!

My short story turned into a tale. But needless to say I am going with the obvious. Not to mention that I find his work to be amazing. He is more conservative in my option. And I am ok with that. I don't plan on becoming a video girl at 31. I just want to be able to throw on a skin tight dress every now and then and make some heads turn!!! And more importantly I WANT TO DANCE AGAIN!!!!!

I am awaiting my phone consult with Dr. Campbell and I will keep you all updated!

Picking a Dr is HELL!!!

Hello Dolls

So I am torn. I have been going back and forth on what Dr I want. I see so many different results. Duran: shapes the booty and hips soooooo well. Fisher: waist to but ratio is out of this world. Campbell: recovery, patience, care and Breast work is impeccable.

HELLLPPPPPP!!!!!! My eyes sting from reading on here for hrs. Lol (exaggeration) but I know I am not the only one that is on here for long periods at a time. I just don't want to come out of this adventure with an ugly body and a list long of regrets. I've read some horror stories. When there is no pen in my hand I can think of 900 questions. As soon as I get the moment to sit and write them down they are gone out of my mind lol!!!!

So quote from Dr. Cortes (Colombia): Done $5000
Phone consult with Campbell ( Colombia): 12/9
And still waiting on Duran (DR)
And considering Fisher (Miami):

Any other suggestions??!

I had a similar experience. I value safety above all else. My only concern bwith Campbell is if he will be too conservative.
December 18, 2015
Buzylzzy honestly, that is becoming mine as well!!!! Ugh!

I wish I had some examples of curvy bodies that he has done, but I haven't seen anyone get super snatched by him.
